Job Summary

Position Overview

The Manager Reliability develops implements and sustains the site reliability strategy ensuring process utility and facility equipment
achieves the availability and performance required for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) biologics manufacturing. The role leads the site
programs for equipment criticality reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) mechanical integrity and condition-based maintenance (CBM)
translating equipment risk into defensible data-driven maintenance strategies. The Manager partners with Maintenance Operations Process
Engineering Quality and Validation to move the site from reactive and time-based maintenance toward proactive condition- and risk-based
practices. Additionally this role builds and leads a high-performing team of reliability engineers and CBM specialists while serving as the
site subject matter expert for reliability during audits and inspections

Develops and owns the site reliability strategy and multi-year roadmap aligning with the site maintenance master plan and ramp-up
objectives while reporting progress and performance to maintenance and site leadership
Leads and develops a high-performing team of engineers and specialists through servant leadership and reliability competencies
while fostering a People First culture where members feel valued respected and supported
Leads the equipment criticality assessment program including the governing methodology and procedure cross-functional
assessment sessions and maintenance of criticality rankings in the CMMS; partners with Process Engineering and Quality who own
process and product impact determinations and ensures criticality drives maintenance strategy work prioritization and spare parts
stocking
Leads RCM and failure mode and effects analyses on critical assets to identify functional failures failure modes and consequences
and to select the most effective maintenance tasks ensuring strategies are implemented in the CMMS and in controlled documents
Establishes and scales the CBM program in phases including technology selection (e.g. vibration analysis infrared thermography
ultrasound oil analysis motor circuit analysis) route design baseline and alarm limits data trending and integration of findings into
the work management process
Develops and implements the mechanical integrity program for pressure vessels piping systems pressure relief devices and other
pressure-retaining and safety-critical equipment including inspection and test plans jurisdictional requirements deficiency
management and records retention
Partners with Maintenance Operations and Process Engineering to optimize preventive maintenance content and intervals using
failure history and condition data ensuring every change is supported by trended evidence risk-assessed and implemented through
formal change control
Leads root cause failure analysis for significant repeat and GMP-impacting equipment failures supports maintenance-related
deviations and verifies the effectiveness of resulting corrective and preventive actions
Defines and monitors reliability indicators (e.g. mean time between failures mean time to repair equipment availability PM and CBM
compliance reactive versus planned work repeat failures) and leads elimination of bad-actor equipment
Ensures equipment hierarchy failure codes and reliability data in the CMMS are structured to support analysis (e.g. ISO 14224
taxonomy) and meet data integrity expectations
Defines critical spares requirements and reliability-based stocking recommendations from criticality and failure analysis in partnership
with the spare parts program
Provides reliability and maintainability input to capital projects equipment specifications and commissioning and qualification and
ensures newly turned-over assets receive a criticality ranking and maintenance strategy
Authors and maintains controlled reliability procedures supports change controls deviations and CAPA and represents the reliability
program during regulatory inspections and internal audits
Evaluates team performance develops and implements measures to improve productivity and engagement and partners with People
& Culture to recruit retain and develop talent
Performs other duties as assigned.
