Reliability Engineer

East FlandersHybridHours negotiable<3months

You will contribute to building a high-performing, safe, and future-proof production environment at a leading industrial player. You will join an existing, strong role within the maintenance team, where you will make a difference by preventing downtime and continuously improving installations.

What you will do. As a Reliability Engineer, you are the central figure between production, maintenance, and engineering. You ensure that critical installations operate reliably, safely, and as efficiently as possible.

  • Perform analyses of malfunctions and recurring problems (Root Cause Analysis, 5xWhy, Ishikawa, …).
  • Increase the reliability of installations through targeted improvement actions and projects.
  • Set up and optimize maintenance strategies (preventive, predictive, condition-based).
  • Map critical installations (criticality analyses) and objectively assess risks.
  • Use data from the maintenance system and sensors to detect trends and predict failures.
  • Collaborate closely with technicians, supervisors, and engineers to develop and implement solutions.
  • Define and roll out technical standards and best practices within the site.
  • Report on reliability, downtime, MTBF/MTTR, and propose continuous improvements.

Profile

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in a technical field (electromechanics, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, automation, …) or equivalent by experience.
  • Several years of experience in an industrial environment (production, process industry, chemistry, food, …) is a plus.
  • You are energized by thoroughly investigating problems and think in terms of causes and solutions, not symptoms.
  • Knowledge of or interest in reliability tools such as RCA, FMEA, TPM, RCM
  • You are strongly analytical, but also hands-on enough to go to the floor, observe, and test.
  • You can easily switch and communicate with technicians, operators, and management.

Practical

  • Clear scope: you take over an existing role with room for improvements.
  • Professional and substantive sparring with experienced maintenance & engineering teams.
