Are you ready to make a real impact? We’re looking for Reliability Manager to join our team at the Weyerhaeuser – Philadelphia Lumber manufacturing facility in Philadelphia, Mississippi. In this salaried role, you’ll report directly to the Mill Manager and be at the forefront of driving reliability improvements across our operations.
Key Functions:
- Develop and maintain the site reliability strategy, reliability roadmap, and reliability improvement plan in alignment with the Unit Manager and regional priorities.
- Use data and mill observation to identify equipment, process, or work-system constraints that limit uptime, rate, cost, quality, safety, or throughput.
- Facilitate or support RCA and corrective actions for chronic failures, repeat downtime, constraint instability, and high-value losses.
- Coordinate Reliability Function Owners for lubrication, oil analysis, vibration, ultrasound, thermography, precision maintenance, defect elimination, asset strategy, SMP execution, and PM optimization.
- Lead implementation and sustainment of SMPs and standard reliability processes at the site.
- Partner with Maintenance Manager, Operations leaders, Planners, Supervisors, Reliability Function Owners, and Regional Reliability Manager to ensure actions are completed and results are sustained.
- Support the Unit Manager with visibility to reliability risks, action status, capability gaps, and resource requirements.
- Coach and develop site reliability capability through training, standard work, observation, and follow-up.
- 4 to 6+ years of relevant manufacturing, reliability, maintenance, engineering, operations, or industrial technology experience preferred; larger or more complex facilities may require additional experience.
- Engineering degree, industrial technology degree, mechanical/electrical trade background, or equivalent technical work experience required.
- Working knowledge of RCA, PM/PdM, CMMS/SAP, SMP execution, lubrication, precision maintenance, defect elimination, planning/scheduling, and condition-based maintenance.
- Ability to use data, downtime reports, CMMS history, field observation, and team input to prioritize reliability work.
- Preferred certifications: CMRP, CRL, MLT/MLA, vibration/infrared/ultrasound certification, RCA facilitation, Six Sigma, or equivalent technical credentials
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong analytical, planning, organizational, problem-solving, and time management skills
- Willingness to work weekends and holidays when operating conditions require
Competencies
- Site ownership: treats reliability as part of mill performance, not a side program.
- Process discipline: builds routines, owners, metrics, and follow-up into daily work.
- Technical problem solving: separates symptoms from root causes and drives corrective action.
- Influence and collaboration: works effectively with Unit Manager, Maintenance Manager, Operations, planners, supervisors, craft teams, and Regional Reliability Manager.
- Capability building: teaches, coaches, and develops function owners and mill associates.
Leadership expectations
- Lead with safety, integrity, inclusion, and disciplined communication.
- Be practical, visible, and floor-connected.
- Ensure reliability function owners know what they own and how success is measured.
- Drive ownership and accountability without creating dependency on the regional role.
- Maintain urgency on corrective actions while building sustainable systems and standard work.
Measures of success
- Site reliability plan is tied to constraints, losses, business outcomes, owners, and action status.
- Reliability Function Owners are identified, trained, and actively managing assigned processes.
- Improved uptime, rate, throughput, downtime reduction, cost, quality, safety, and action closure at priority constraints.
- Improved RCA quality, corrective-action completion, and reduced repeat failures.
- Improved SMP execution, predictive maintenance follow-up, precision maintenance discipline, lubrication health, PM optimization, and defect elimination.
