About This JobThe Asset Reliability Lead is accountable for maximizing equipment reliability, availability, and performance across production assets. This role bridges Operations, Engineering/Maintenance, and Planning to drive OEE improvement, ensure full TPM adoption, and eliminate chronic losses through structured problem solving (RCA, FMEA). The role owns the reliability roadmap, maintenance standards, asset care strategies, and data‑driven decision making for long‑term asset health and throughput stability.Key Responsibilities· OEE & Performance Management
  • Own OEE governance across focus lines: define loss-tree, daily/weekly reviews, and action tracking for Availability, Performance, and Quality losses.
  • Deep‑dive chronic losses; develop and sustain countermeasures using RCA (5‑Why, Fishbone), A3, and verification of effectiveness.
  • Partner with Production to optimize run strategies (speeds, changeovers, start‑up/shut‑down standards, SMED).
· TPM Deployment & Compliance
  • Lead TPM pillar execution with emphasis on Autonomous Maintenance (AM), Planned Maintenance (PM), Focused Improvement (FI), and Early Management.
  • Build and sustain AM checks, operator care standards, centerlines, tagging & escalation, and abnormality management.
  • Drive PM compliance, CBM/PdM (vibration, thermography, oil analysis), and continuous PM optimization (intervals, scopes).
· Reliability Engineering & Asset Strategy
  • Develop asset criticality ranking; set maintenance strategies (RCM‑based) per asset class.
  • Maintain asset hierarchies, BoMs, and equipment histories in CMMS; enforce data discipline.
  • Lead FMEA and spares strategy (min/max, critical spares, obsolescence plans) with Purchasing and Stores.
  • Define and manage reliability KPIs (MTBF, MTTR, failure rate, maintenance cost/throughput).
· Coordination Across Operations, Engineering & Planning
  • Serve as the single point of contact for asset availability and constraints for the Planning team.
  • Coordinate maintenance windows with minimal impact to production; align on capacity assumptions and ramp‑up curves after interventions.
  • Facilitate daily/weekly cross‑functional meetings; track actions to closure.
· Standards, Safety & Compliance
  • Ensure maintenance procedures, LOTO, permits, and SOPs are current and followed.
  • Support internal/external audits and regulatory compliance; maintain complete records.
  • Champion risk assessments and reliability‑driven safety improvements (e.g., guarding integrity, energy isolation quality).
· Continuous Improvement & Capability Building
  • Run kaizen events targeting losses (breakdowns, speed, minor stops, changeovers, start‑up rejects).
  • Coach operators and technicians in TPM, RCA, Condition Monitoring, and data literacy.
  • Partner with Engineering on Early Equipment Management: reliability criteria for new equipment, FAT/SAT standards, and vertical start‑up.
· Vendor & Budget Management
  • Manage vendor performance for service quality and reliability outcomes; define SLAs tied to MTBF/uptime.
  • Contribute to the maintenance and reliability budget, cost control, and reliability‑based CAPEX justifications.
  • To always act and behave in a way compliant with all De La Rue company guidelines and policies, especially those relating to Environmental Health and Safety, ethics and codes of conduct
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or related);
  • Experience in reliability, maintenance engineering, or production engineering within manufacturing/industrial environments.
  • Demonstrated TPM/OEE leadership with measurable improvements.
  • Hands‑on experience with CMMS (e.g., Agility) and strong data analysis skills (Excel/Power BI).
  • Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis, FMEA, Reliability Centered Maintenance, and maintenance strategy optimization.
