Reliability & Asset Engineer
CV-LibraryGrangemouth, FalkirkpermanentPosted: 19 March 2026
Apply NowEscape Recruitment is working with a major manufacturing business to recruit a Reliability & Asset Engineer to join their site engineering team.
This is not a hands-on maintenance role. It is a data-driven, engineering-led position focused on improving equipment reliability, reducing downtime, and driving OEE performance across production assets.
The Role
You will take ownership of reliability performance within a defined production area, working closely with Maintenance and Production to eliminate repeat failures and improve asset performance.
Key areas include:
Leading root cause analysis (RCA) on equipment failures
Using data (downtime, condition monitoring, trends) to identify improvement opportunities
Applying Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) principles
Conducting FMEA and failure analysis
Driving improvements in MTBF, MTTR, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
Supporting condition monitoring strategies (vibration, thermography, etc.)
Optimising preventative and predictive maintenance strategies
Working cross-functionally to remove bottlenecks and improve throughput
What We're Looking For
Essential:
HNC/HND or Degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering
Experience in a manufacturing / process environment
Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles
Experience analysing data to drive engineering decisions
Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
Desirable:
Experience with RCA, FMEA, RCM or condition monitoring
Experience with CMMS systems (e.g. Maximo)
Background in heavy industry, FMCG, or continuous process environments
Why Apply?
Opportunity to step into a true reliability-focused engineering role
High impact position influencing plant performance and OEE
Strong collaboration with production and engineering leadership
Stable, well-invested manufacturing site
