About the role

  • Reliability & Maintenance Engineer for Reckitt focusing on maintenance strategies and equipment optimization. Involves collaboration across production, quality, and maintenance teams to minimize downtime and extend asset life.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze equipment performance data to identify trends, failure modes, and root causes.
  • Develop and implement reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies to improve mean time between failures (MTBF) and reduce mean time to repair (MTTR).
  • Lead or support root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment-related deviations or failures.
  • Recommend engineering solutions to enhance equipment reliability and optimize lifecycle costs.
  • Develop, implement, and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) strategies for OSD equipment, including granulators, fluid bed dryers, tablet presses, coaters, dust collection systems, and packaging lines.
  • Develop detailed job plans including material lists, labor estimates, and safety requirements.
  • Coordinate with maintenance staff and contractors to ensure timely execution of planned work.
  • Track and report maintenance KPIs such as uptime, backlog, and work order completion rates.
  • Conduct spare parts criticality assessments to determine which components are essential for equipment reliability and production continuity.
  • Classify spares into categories (critical, essential, non-critical) based on risk, lead time, and equipment impact.
  • Collaborate with storeroom and procurement teams to ensure availability of critical spares while optimizing inventory costs.
  • Evaluate repair vs. replacement decisions to balance reliability and cost-effectiveness.
  • Support kitting and staging of materials for planned jobs, prioritizing critical spares.
  • Ensure accuracy of asset hierarchies, BOMs, spare parts lists, and maintenance task plans.
  • Ensure all maintenance and engineering activities comply with OSHA, GMP, and company safety standards.
  • Partner with Quality Assurance to support audits, deviations, CAPAs, and change controls.
  • Participate in risk assessments, LOTO procedures, and confined space protocols.
  • Identify opportunities to eliminate delays and improve maintenance efficiency.
  • Integrate predictive maintenance technologies (condition monitoring, vibration analysis, thermography).
  • Drive initiatives aligned with site goals such as OEE improvement and proactive maintenance models.
  • Support capital projects and equipment upgrades to enhance reliability.
  • Partner with Engineering on equipment upgrades, replacements, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and qualification.

Requirements
