Working closely with engineering and maintenance teams, the Reliability Engineering Manager ensures equipment is designed, installed, and maintained to minimize losses, improve stability, and maximize lifecycle value.

This is an individual contributor role, collaborating with engineers and technicians within the maintenance organization.

What you'll do:

• Partner with engineering during equipment design, installation, and commissioning to minimize reliability risks and ensure stable operational performance.
• Ensure seamless integration of new assets into existing production lines, focusing on maintainability, fast repair, and controlled equipment deterioration.
• Establish and continuously improve preventive and condition-based maintenance strategies to sustain asset health and reliability.
• Lead site-wide asset reliability and analytical problem-solving systems, ensuring effective root cause identification and sustainable issue closure.
• Drive improvements in technical availability, asset reliability, and overall equipment effectiveness through data-driven analysis.
• Manage condition monitoring and lubrication programs to reduce planned maintenance time and increase equipment uptime.
• Assess maintenance technical capabilities, identify skill gaps, and define targeted training requirements.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, and finance teams to align reliability initiatives with business and cost objectives.

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in an engineering role with experience of supervisory or leadership experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Experience in food manufacturing or FMCG environments is preferred.
• Working knowledge of SAP systems is an advantage.
• Experience with wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in food factories is desirable.
• Project management experience related to engineering or reliability initiatives.
• Strong computer skills, particularly in Microsoft Office applications.
• Effective communication skills in Thai and English (written, reading, and speaking).
