About the role

  • 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

  • Associate’s degree in a mechanical, electrical, industrial, or related technical field; bachelor’s degree preferred
  • 3–5+ years of experience in maintenance engineering, reliability, or asset management within manufacturing, including pharmaceutical, chemical, food, or industrial environments
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, reliability engineering principles, precision maintenance tools, PLCs, automation, and controls
  • Proficiency with CMMS systems, SAP, Microsoft Office, data analysis tools, and reliability analysis software
  • Experience with preventive and predictive maintenance programs, spare‑parts criticality analysis, and inventory optimization
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities, including root‑cause analysis
  • Effective communication and collaboration across technical and non‑technical teams
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and work in dynamic environments
  • Knowledge of GMP documentation systems and regulatory compliance
  • Ability to evaluate spare‑parts criticality, balance reliability with cost efficiency, and track performance metrics to drive maintenance improvements.
Benefits
  • medical, prescription, dental, vision, and life and disability insurance
  • paid time off for vacation, sick and Company recognized holidays
  • 401(k) plan
  • 16-week paid parental leave or 26 weeks for the birthing parent
  • adoption and fertility support
  • tuition reimbursement
  • discounts
  • and much more.
