The Senior Electrical Reliability Engineer leads the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of electrical reliability strategies across the facility. This role places strong emphasis on electrical reliabilitycentered maintenance (RCM), asset health management, and longterm equipment performance. The engineer serves as the subjectmatter expert for electrical systems, driving improvements that enhance safety, reduce downtime, and optimize lifecycle cost.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the creation, execution, and optimization of electrical reliabilitycentered maintenance (RCM) programs, including failure mode analysis, criticality assessments, and maintenance strategy development.
Provide advanced technical expertise for troubleshooting and rootcause analysis of electrical equipment failures, ensuring sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
Develop and maintain electrical asset health models, predictive maintenance technologies, and conditionbased monitoring programs (infrared thermography, partial discharge testing, motor circuit analysis, etc.).
Oversee reliability improvements for electrical distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, MCCs, drives, motors, and protective relaying.
Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to strengthen reliability culture and ensure alignment with plant goals.
Lead or support capital projects related to electrical infrastructure upgrades, equipment replacements, and reliability enhancements.
Maintain and improve electrical equipment standards, maintenance procedures, and documentation.
Analyze equipment performance data to identify trends, prioritize improvements, and recommend longterm reliability strategies.
Ensure compliance with electrical safety standards (NFPA 70E, NEC, OSHA) and champion safe work practices.
Mentor junior engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel in electrical reliability best practices.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Industrial Electrical Engineering, Electrical Technology and 5+ years of experience working with electrical systems in an industrial manufacturing environment. Candidates with a related 2year technical degree and 5+ years of relevant experience may also be considered.
Strong background in electrical reliability, maintenance engineering, or industrial electrical systems.
Demonstrated experience with reliabilitycentered maintenance (RCM) methodologies.
Proficiency with electrical distribution systems, motors, drives, and protective relays.
Experience with predictive and conditionbased monitoring technologies.
Strong analytical, communication, and crossfunctional leadership skills.
Professional certifications such as CMRP or CRE preferred.
Preferred Experience
Experience in heavy industrial, manufacturing, pulp & paper, chemical, or similar environments.
Familiarity with digital reliability tools or asset management systems (EAM/CMMS platforms).
Experience with arcflash studies, power system analysis, and electrical system modeling software.
