The Job

As a Reliability Engineer in a consultancy environment, you will provide expert guidance to clients across various industries to improve the availability and reliability of their assets and systems. Your role will involve conducting in-depth predictive modelling and reliability assessments to identify improvement opportunities and to meet stringent availability design targets.

You'll work closely with clients to develop and implement data-driven solutions, drawing on industry best practices and reliability engineering methodologies such as FMEA, Reliability and Availability Modelling, and Fault Tree analysis. This position requires strong communication skills, adaptability, and a focus on delivering high quality deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Interrogate Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and electrical single-line diagrams to develop Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs).
  
  
• Analyse complex systems to identify failure modes and perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
  
  
• Conduct Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) analyses to inform decision-making and optimise system reliability.
  
  
• Perform Availability, Reliability, and Maintainability (ARM) analyses to ensure project targets are achieved.
  
  
• Utilise reliability software e.g. Isograph Reliability Workbench / FaultTree+ for advanced reliability and risk modelling.
  
  
• Collaborate with clients to understand requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
  
  
• Mentor junior team members.
  
  
• Manage projects effectively, including planning, execution, and reporting, ensuring alignment with client expectations.
