Description
At Air Products, our purpose is to bring people together to reimagine what’s possible, collaborate and innovate solutions to the world’s most significant energy and environmental sustainability challenges. Grow with us as we embark on building tomorrow together by being the safest, most diverse and most profitable industrial gas company in the world.
Reimagine What’s Possible
We have an immediate opening for an Operational Excellence Reliability Engineer working flexible hybrid with typical business hours, Monday to Friday out of our Global HQ in Allentown, PA or Corporate Office in Hersham, UK. Ability to travel 20%, a majority will be domestic travel to start. Has a willingness to travel globally, mostly to operating sites.
The Op Ex Reliability Engineer is responsible to support identification, development, analysis, and implementation of solutions to improve operating reliability across industrial gas sites worldwide. The successful applicant will work alongside other discipline specific engineers, training personnel, and procedure writers to promote and drive both site specific and fleet-wide reliability improvement initiatives. The role will be expected to support existing work processes in our HYCO business, and then quickly advance into growth areas such as green or blue hydrogen, carbon capture, liquid hydrogen, and/or ammonia processes.
Common challenges:
May be called upon to support include the resolution of longer term reliability and maintenance issues. Examples may involve addressing trends of higher than typical component failure rates, steam quality concerns, pre-mature catalyst degradation, breakdown of insulation, or other chronic equipment and performance problems.

The position requires an individual with demonstrated leadership skills, broad based technical abilities, and a basic financial background since reliability recommendations must consider payback analysis and business constraints. Strong organizational, planning, interpersonal, and communication skills are essential to the position. Internal candidates who have completed their rotations on the Career Development Program are welcome to apply.

Leading/Assisting with the Plant Reliability Review Assessments using tools such as Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to proactively identify site reliability improvement opportunities.
Working closely with maintenance and inspection personnel to ensure that mechanical integrity program (MI) and preventive maintenance programs (PM) are serving their intended purpose.
Supporting the reporting of Reliability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Investigating and developing Best Practices recommendations to systematically address reliability issues across plants.
