You will lead complex Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) studies and reliability improvement initiatives across operating assets, turning equipment history, risk information, and operational insight into practical maintenance and improvement strategies. This is a hands-on specialist role with a strong consulting and facilitation element. You will work with multidisciplinary asset teams, challenge technical assumptions constructively, assure the quality of reliability studies, and coach others in the effective application of reliability methods. You will also help teams make better use of analytics, digital tools, and emerging AI capabilities where these can deliver clear business value. What you’ll be doing Reliability Strategy & Asset Care Reliability Engineering & Continuous Improvement Apply reliability methods such as RCM, FMEA, RAM analysis, Weibull analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, and lifecycle cost analysis to support sound technical decisions. Identify recurring equipment failures, bad actors, and performance gaps, and lead structured reliability improvement activities to address them. Lead or support Root Cause Failure Analysis and Causal Learning investigations for significant or repeat equipment failures. Develop recommendations that are technically robust, proportionate to risk, and practical for asset teams to implement. Capture lessons learned and use them to improve reliability work processes, tools, and ways of working. Reliability Statistical Analysis Apply advanced reliability statistical techniques to evaluate failure behaviour, predict equipment performance, and support maintenance strategy optimization. Perform Weibull Analysis, Crow-AMSAA Reliability Growth Modelling, and other probabilistic methods to assess failure patterns, reliability trends, and system improvement opportunities. Develop and utilize Monte Carlo Simulations to quantify uncertainty, assess risk scenarios, and support asset investment and lifecycle decisions. Conduct Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessments and degradation modeling to support predictive maintenance, asset health monitoring, and intervention planning. Lead Asset Life Extension (ALE) studies by evaluating equipment condition, failure risk, operating context, and life-cycle economics to support safe and reliable operation beyond original design life. Translate statistical findings into actionable recommendations that improve asset availability, reliability performance, maintenance effectiveness, and business value. Reliability analytics, digital and AI solutions Analyse equipment and maintenance data to identify failure trends, reliability risks, bad actors, and optimization opportunities. Develop or support reliability KPIs, dashboards, and analytical insights that enable timely and informed decision-making. Use reliability statistics and modelling to support maintenance, risk, and investment decisions. Identify practical opportunities for predictive maintenance, asset health monitoring, and AI-enabled reliability solutions. Collaborate with digital, analytics, and data science teams to translate reliability challenges into usable, value-focused solutions. Support adoption of digital reliability tools, intelligent agents, and data-driven workflows, with appropriate attention to data quality and user needs. Technical leadership and assurance Provide expert review and technical assurance for complex reliability studies, maintenance strategies, and reliability improvement recommendations. Challenge assumptions, data quality, and proposed actions constructively to improve the quality of technical decisions. Provide guidance on the appropriate selection and application of reliability methods for different business problems. Act as a trusted subject matter expert for complex reliability and maintenance strategy challenges. Coach engineers and practitioners and contribute to the development of reliability capability across the organization. Stakeholder Engagement Facilitate multidisciplinary workshops involving Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Inspection, and Technical Authorities. Provide technical coaching and mentorship in reliability methodologies and best practices. Influence stakeholders and drive implementation of reliability recommendations. Interface with global asset teams, OEMs, vendors, and subject matter experts to deliver reliability improvements. Business Impact The role supports operating assets across Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power, and Energy environments. Your work will contribute to safer and more reliable operations thro
