Reliability Engineer - Don Plant (Pocatello, ID)

Company: Disability Solutions
Location: Pocatello
Posted on: October 26, 2024

Job Description:

The J.R. Simplot Company is a diverse, privately held global food and agriculture company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. We are a true farm-to-table company with an integrated portfolio including food processing and food brands, phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, farming, ranching and cattle production, and other enterprises related to agriculture.SummaryThe primary role of the Reliability Engineer is to identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. This broad primary role can be divided into three smaller, more manageable roles: Loss Elimination, Risk Management and Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM).--Loss Elimination:One of the fundamental roles of the Reliability Engineer is to track the production losses and abnormally high maintenance cost assets, then find ways to reduce those losses or high costs. These losses are prioritized to focus efforts on the largest/most critical opportunities. The Reliability Engineer (in full partnership with the operations team) develops a plan to eliminate or reduce the losses through root cause analysis, obtains approval of the plan and facilitates the implementation.--Risk Management:Another role of the Reliability Engineer is to manage risk to the achievement of an organization's strategic objectives in the areas of environmental health and safety, asset capability, quality and production. Some tools used by a Reliability Engineer to identify and reduce risk include:

  • PHA - Preliminary hazards analysis
  • FMEA - Failure modes and effects analysis
  • CA - Criticality analysis
  • SFMEA - Simplified failure modes and effects analysis
  • MI - Maintainability information
  • FTA - Fault tree analysis
  • ETA - Event tree analysis--Life Cycle Asset Management:Studies show that as much as 95% of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of an asset is determined before it is put into use. This reveals the need for the Reliability Engineer to be involved in the design and installation stages of projects for new assets and modification of existing assets.Key Responsibilities
    • Works with Project Engineering to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and--modified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to the Life Cycle--Asset Management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of new assets.

Participates in the development of criteria for and evaluation of--equipment and technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers.--Develops acceptance tests and inspection criteria.

    • Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely--affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost or regulatory--compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies data analysis
    • techniques that can include: Statistical Process Control; Reliability modeling and prediction;--Fault Tree Analysis; Weibull Tree Analysis; Six Sigma Methodology; Root-cause and Root Cause--Failure Analysis (RCA, RCFA); Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action--System (FRACAS).
    • Works with Production to perform analyses of assets including: Asset Utilization; Overall--Equipment Effectiveness; Remaining useful life; Other parameters that define operating--condition, reliability and costs of assets.
    • Applies value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions.
    • Acts as a technical resource for troubleshooting plant equipment and suggested repairs
    • Leads root cause analysis and recommend solutions to resolve repeat equipment failuresTypical Education
      • Bachelor's Degree (B.A. or B.S.) from 4 year college or universityRelevant Experience
        • 3+ years related experience and/or training
