Nortek Air Solutions is looking to solve the problem of ensuring the reliability, availability, and performance of fabrication equipment, minimizing downtime, optimizing lifecycle costs, and supporting operational excellence and safety goals.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with press brakes, lasers, punches, and roll formers (automation/CNC controls preferred)
- Proficiency with CMMS, reliability tools (RCM, FMEA, RCA), and basic statistical analysis for trend identification
- Experience with the following tools and systems: CMMS for work orders, BOMs, and asset history; data visualization (Power BI/Excel) for downtime analytics
- Condition monitoring instruments (vibration analyzer, thermal camera, ultrasonic tools) and precision maintenance tools
- Standard Work documents, visual controls, and tiered daily management boards
- CMRP or ASQ CRE certification (preferred)
- Experience implementing condition monitoring routes and analytics dashboards (preferred)
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy an asset reliability strategy for fabrication assets aligned to site KPIs (uptime, OEE, MTBF, MTTR)
- Lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for chronic losses; author corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
- Establish predictive maintenance (PdM) programs (vibration, thermography, oil analysis); optimize PM intervals using RCM and data trends
- Own the critical spare parts strategy: BOM accuracy, min/max levels, and supplier collaboration to reduce meantime to repair
- Analyze downtime and cost data from CMMS; publish weekly/monthly dashboards and drive action through tiered daily management
- Partner with Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, EHS, and Production to implement design-for-reliability improvements and mistake-proofing
- Standardize work for maintenance tasks; train technicians on precision maintenance (alignment, torque, lubrication) and LOTO best practices
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial engineering, or equivalent experience
- Three or more years in reliability, maintenance, or manufacturing engineering within metal fabrication or heavy industrial environments
- Demonstrated knowledge of Lean/CI methods and Standard Work; strong cross-functional communication skills
- Accountability for unplanned downtime reduction (%) and MTBF improvement by asset family
- Compliance with OSHA and Nortek policies; integrate safety and environmental considerations into reliability plans
