- Ensure reliability practices are consistently applied across all sites.
Equipment Performance Monitoring
- Establish monitoring frameworks for critical infrastructure equipment performance.
- Analyse operating data from electrical and mechanical systems to identify degradation trends.
- Monitor redundancy utilisation, abnormal operating conditions, and reliability indicators.
- Identify early warning signals for potential equipment failures.
Failure Analysis & Root Cause Investigation
- Lead structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for major infrastructure incidents.
- Perform failure mode analysis using fault tree and event chain methodologies.
- Identify recurring failure mechanisms across sites.
- Ensure lessons learned from failures are captured and shared across the organisation.
Reliability Risk Assessment
- Assess reliability risks associated with infrastructure design, operations, and vendor equipment.
- Evaluate cross-campus failure exposure and correlated infrastructure vulnerabilities.
- Provide technical recommendations to mitigate systemic reliability risks.
Reliability Data Analytics & Reporting
- Develop reliability performance dashboards and trend analysis.
- Monitor incident frequency, failure severity, and infrastructure performance trends.
- Provide reliability reports and insights to engineering and executive leadership.
Reliability Improvement Programs
- Lead initiatives to improve infrastructure resilience and reliability.
- Identify reliability improvement opportunities across systems and sites.
- Validate effectiveness of remediation and reliability improvement actions.
Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management
- Define strategies for managing aging infrastructure and equipment lifecycle risks.
- Assess replacement versus life‑extension strategies for critical infrastructure systems.
- Support long-term infrastructure planning from a reliability perspective.
Vendor & OEM Reliability Oversight
- Evaluate vendor reliability performance and technical claims.
- Assess OEM failure rates and design-related reliability exposure.
- Collaborate with vendors to address systemic equipment reliability issues.
Cross-Team Collaboration
- Work closely with DCO teams, Engineering Authorities, Design Teams, and external vendors.
- Support reliability engineering input into ROCC and MCR operational frameworks.
- Promote knowledge sharing and reliability best practices across the organisation.
Candidate Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, or related discipline).
- 10+ years experience in mission‑critical infrastructure
- Strong experience in equipment reliability analysis, failure investigation, and RCA
- Deep understanding of electrical and mechanical systems in data centre environments.
- Proven ability to identify systemic reliability risks and implement mitigation strategies.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving capabilities.
- Experience working across multiple sites or regional infrastructure portfolios preferred.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Willingness to travel across regional sites when required.
