We’re seeking a Reliability Engineer II 1 who’s ready to put your skills to work on projects that matter — and build a career with a company that’s building North America.
Job Title: Reliability Engineer II 1 | Req ID: 18424 | Location: Portland Cement Plant CO
ABOUT THE ROLE
Responsible for creating, implementing, and monitoring Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) programs to improve equipment reliability, availability, and overall plant performance. This role will analyze equipment condition and performance data to identify potential failures and develop proactive maintenance strategies.
The Reliability Engineer II will manage and support preventive and predictive maintenance programs, including vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography, NDT, and other condition-monitoring technologies. The position will work closely with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Planning teams to identify and eliminate repetitive equipment failures through root cause analysis, FMEA, Pareto analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives. The role will also support the development and optimization of PM routines, equipment criticality, maintenance strategies, and reliability metrics such as MTBF and equipment availability. This position will provide technical guidance and coaching to plant teams while promoting a strong safety, reliability, and continuous improvement culture.

- Responsible for monitoring reliability-based systems, including preventative maintenance systems, vibration analysis, and condition monitoring.
- Participate in the creation of preventative maintenance routines (PMRs) and Bills of Materials (BOMs) for plant equipment.
- Manage preventative/predictive maintenance programs (Inspection, Vibration, Oil Analysis, NDT, Thermography, etc.) to ensure optimum equipment availability.
- Responsible for the preventative maintenance work order system with coordinated execution of area operations and central maintenance teams.
- Provide leadership, guidance, and direction for the reliability team and plant area teams in a manner consistent with company values and the St. Genevieve Belief Statement and Commitments.
- Accountable for providing leadership, development, and coaching on individual performance to direct reports to achieve business results.
- Analyze and eliminate repetitive problems through root cause analysis, Pareto analysis, statistical review, FMEA, and similar techniques.
- Facilitate continuous improvement processes around equipment availability and reliability.
- Support and guide sustainable improvements in MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of major equipment.
- Support the identification and implementation of reliability improvements for critical plant equipment, including rotating equipment and other production-critical assets.
- Analyze equipment failure history, downtime data, condition-monitoring results, and maintenance trends to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Support shutdown and turnaround activities by identifying critical inspections, equipment repairs, and reliability improvement opportunities.
- Provide technical support for equipment troubleshooting and failure investigations.
- Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving, and adhering to health, safety, and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
RESPONSIBILITIES & TASKS
- Closely work with other members of the team to achieve goals which support the plant and the company.
- Work collaboratively with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, and Planning teams to develop and execute equipment reliability improvement plans.
- Convert condition-monitoring findings into actionable maintenance recommendations and work orders.
- Monitor and communicate key reliability indicators, including MTBF, MTTR, equipment availability, planned versus unplanned maintenance, and repeat failures.
- Support the development and optimization of preventive and predictive maintenance strategies based on equipment criticality and failure modes.
