About the Job
This position provides a unique opportunity to standardize and harmonize across different departments and programs with the goal of improving the quality of the maintenance being performed at each of the Sterigenics operating sites. With Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program as a strategic priority, and Maintenance and Reliability program as a mission critical objective for Global Engineering, this role will develop analysis methods to determine reliability of components, equipment and processes to determine the required reliability approach with consideration given to limitations for equipment uptime/downtime, repair/replacement costs which will result in higher performance levels of the sites and overall improved workplace safety and compliance.
Works with other engineers and receives guidance in the use of company standards and procedures for use in reliability analysis specific to the component/equipment. Gathers and examines reliability data from studying specific metrics like failure rates, bad-actor identification and remediations, MTBF (mean-time-between-failures). Critical asset and spare part identification and management, and historical downtime reductions will be essential for the success of this role. A solid related education with relevant CMMS (Computer Maintenance Management Systems), lean manufacturing, maintenance of electrical and mechanical equipment experience will be fundamental requirements. Experience and general knowledge of safety, quality, operation, developing procedures and training is desirable.
The EAM Specialist will be expected to autonomously lead, develop, and execute on responsibilities with course directions set by the Global Engineering leadership team. This role will be well connected with other key leaders with defined roles across the spectrum of the Maintenance and Reliability and work in a matrixed oriented organization.
