Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada De Beers Group Full time
Job Overview

As a key member of the engineering team, the Reliability Engineer will report directly to the Reliability Engineering Superintendent. The primary objective of this role is to enhance the dependability of mobile machinery and proactively identify potential risks that may impact operational efficiency. Achieving reliability involves the application of the reliability engineering principles within the Asset Management (AM) framework, alongside a thorough and systematic evaluation of physical failures, asset conditions, and component reliability metrics.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Asset Management: Formulate and execute strategies aimed at optimizing the reliability of mining equipment, including hydraulic shovels, haul trucks, dozers, graders, and rock drills.
  • Reliability Analysis: Assess asset criticality and conduct reliability assessments on essential equipment to pinpoint failure modes, root causes, and improvement opportunities. Employ methodologies such as FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) to boost asset performance.
  • Condition Monitoring: Develop and manage condition monitoring initiatives to evaluate the health and performance of machinery, utilizing techniques like vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography, and ultrasonic testing.
  • Data Analysis: Scrutinize data from equipment monitoring systems and historical maintenance records to uncover trends and opportunities for enhancement. Leverage data-driven insights to inform maintenance strategies and equipment upgrades.
  • Maintenance Strategy Development: Create and refine preventive maintenance (PM), predictive maintenance (PdM), and condition-based maintenance (CBM) strategies to maximize equipment availability and minimize unexpected downtime.
  • Defect Elimination and Root Cause Analysis: Coordinate defect elimination initiatives on-site to develop engineering solutions for recurring failures that disrupt operations. This includes defining triggers, leading complex projects, conducting RCA investigations, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement sustainable solutions.
  • Reliability Improvement Projects: Lead or engage in projects focused on enhancing equipment reliability, availability, and performance, working closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering teams to implement best practices.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Ensure accurate documentation of reliability-related activities, including maintenance procedures and reliability metrics. Prepare reports and presentations to communicate key performance indicators and improvements to stakeholders.
  • RAM Analysis: Assist in the procurement of new equipment from an operational readiness and technical perspective, conducting Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) analyses.
  • Risk and Bottleneck Mitigation: Collaborate with peers and stakeholders to identify and address overarching risks and bottlenecks.

Qualifications:

  • Legally authorized to work in Canada.
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Minimum of eight years of relevant experience in mining or heavy industrial environments.
  • At least four years of experience in maintenance or reliability engineering, specifically with mining equipment.
  • Proficient in reliability analysis techniques such as FMEA, RCM, and RCA.
  • Experience with condition monitoring technologies and tools.
  • Skilled in data and statistical analysis.
  • Familiarity with maintenance management systems and data analysis tools.
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking abilities.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the capacity to work independently or within a team.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Knowledge of safety regulations and best practices in the mining sector.
