Reliability Engineer

At Post Consumer Brands, reliability is more than preventing downtime. It is how we build a smarter, more resilient operation. As a Reliability Engineer, you will partner closely with maintenance and operations, combining equipment data with hands-on mechanical understanding to identify risk early, focus work where it matters most, and improve equipment performance every day. You will bring proactive reliability practices to the plant floor, turning lessons from breakdowns into prevention and translating equipment-condition insights into practical action.

Use equipment health and performance data to identify issues early, recommend solutions, and help teams prioritize the highest-impact work. Partner with maintenance and operations to reduce repeat failures through root cause problem-solving and continuous improvement. Support daily and weekly execution by contributing to maintenance planning, scheduling, routine reporting, and prioritization. Use asset management and CMMS tools to turn information into clear, practical decisions for the plant floor. Apply and promote condition-based reliability practices that improve uptime and equipment stability. Champion reliability priorities within assigned areas by helping teams understand current equipment condition, define the desired condition, and determine what to address next.
