Senior Reliability Engineer

Senior Reliability Engineer

Mission Zero Technologies

London, United Kingdom

We’re hiring a Senior Reliability Engineer with skills in machinery maintenance and equipment reliability improvement programmes, ideally with experience in reliability analysis of absorption, scrubbing, gas-liquid separation systems, and/or electrodialytic processes. In this role you will assess and strategise for the maintenance and service of our growing technology deployments at industrial scale.

Inheriting MZT product modules designed and built by our delivery team, you will monitor our pilot plant experimental phases, paying particular attention to breakdowns and problem solving, learning the key reliability weak points of our technology in extended operation.

What you'll be doing

• Equipment Reliability: Reviewing and optimising equipment reliability in collaboration with our operations team.
• Reliability Modelling: Creating a reliability model to interface with planned condition based monitoring initiatives, predicting uptime effectively for current and future plants considering MTTF, MTTR and spares optimisation.
• Maintenance Strategies: Creating overarching plans for maintenance and servicing strategy across the company.
• Servicing Oversight: Witness and be involved in operating and servicing MZT plant at our first industrial Pilot Plants, in Sheffield, UK; Norfolk, UK; Alberta, Canada. The UK’s first DAC plant, UK’s first deployment of carbon negative DAC technology and Canada’s flagship mineralisation facility respectively.
• Reporting: Monitor and report on sustained operations over months of plant operations.
• Health & Safety: Following and demonstrating our at-site Health & Safety culture.
• Failure modes: Identify any important failure modes and input ideas for product improvement.
• Troubleshooting: Deal with issues that arise, with good record-keeping for required interventions to be passed back to the product improvement team.
• Root Causes: Get involved in failure analysis, using multiple methodologies to find root causes and propose improvement plans.
• Reducing Uncertainty: Where component lifetimes are uncertain due to process novelties, working with relevant parties to research, test, validate and create predictions about component lifetime in the process.

What you'll need to be successful in this role

• MEng Engineering Degree within a suitable discipline.
• 6 years' minimum industrial experience with significant exposure to reliability engineering, maintenance protocols, and/or operations across multiple industries.
• Experience in commissioning, start-up and turnaround in a variety of industrial settings.
• Practical skills, being comfortable with both hands-on work and desk-based tasks. There will be opportunity to test ideas and designs in our labs/workshops to validate new technologies or improvements.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity.
• Demonstrated understanding of hazard and risk identification (HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL).
• Interest in developing skills in an exciting start-up, new technology environment, where you can rapidly grow your experience.
• Experience repairing plants in challenging environments.
• A passion for optimising technical solutions.
• Strong understanding of Reliability, Availability, Maintenance/OEE.
• Functional understanding of chemical, electrical, mechanical portions of various unit operations such as gas-liquid contacting, water treatment, membrane processes.
• Clear communication skills.

Ideally you'll also have

• Experience in a startup environment.
• Expertise in process safety procedures with workshop leadership certification.
• Experience in Research & Development pilot facilities.
• Chartered status with a relevant engineering institution e.g. SaRS.
• Suitable safety accreditation e.g. NEBOSH.
• Lean operational certificate, e.g. six sigma or equivalent.
• Continuous improvement training/programme experience.
• Experience working with absorption, scrubbing, continuous gas-liquid systems and/or electrodialysis.
• Good understanding of hazard and risk identification.
• Basic understanding of electrochemistry and industrial chemistry knowledge.
• Familiarity with servicing of processes handling industrial gases, especially CO2.
