Description:
Shape Your World
At Alcoa, you will become an essential part of our purpose: to turn raw potential into real progress. The way we see it, every Alcoan is a work-shaper, team-shaper, idea-shaper & world-shaper.
Shape your world by improving the reliability of critical equipment and systems at Alcoa’s Massena Operations. As a Reliability Engineer, you will focus on predictive and preventive maintenance strategies that reduce recurring equipment issues and improve long-term performance.
You’ll join a growing reliability engineering team supporting a complex industrial operation, where you can apply data-driven insights, collaborate across functions, and help modernize equipment and systems in an evolving plant environment.
About the Role
You will lead Reliability Excellence initiatives at Massena Operations, using equipment data, reliability tools, and maintenance best practices to improve long-term equipment performance. This role is focused on predictive and preventive maintenance rather than reactive maintenance, helping identify trends, eliminate repeat failures, and support forward-looking decisions.
Working closely with Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations teams, you will translate technical findings into practical recommendations that improve reliability and support operational success.
Key Responsibilities
Lead reliability and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen equipment performance, maintenance strategies, and operational decision-making.
Analyze equipment performance using predictive maintenance techniques such as vibration analysis, oil sampling, and condition monitoring to anticipate failures and improve asset reliability.
Conduct equipment criticality analysis and use CMMS and operational data to identify recurring failures, prioritize risk, and recommend corrective actions.
Partner with Maintenance and Engineering teams to implement predictive and preventive maintenance programs and reliability-centered maintenance activities.
Apply reliability tools such as Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to eliminate repeat issues and improve long-term outcomes.
Support reliability-focused business cases and long-term asset strategies, contributing to system improvements and modernization efforts.
What You Bring
A bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field, providing the technical foundation for evaluating equipment performance and systems.
Experience in reliability, maintenance, or industrial engineering environments preferred, enabling you to contribute to practical equipment and maintenance solutions.
Knowledge of mechanical and/or electrical systems, with the ability to assess equipment condition and reliability risks.
Experience with predictive maintenance programs or interest in developing expertise in condition monitoring techniques such as vibration analysis or lubrication.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to use CMMS or operational data to identify trends and support decision-making.
A demonstrated commitment to safe work practices and collaboration in an industrial or plant environment.
What We Offer
Competitive Pay: Performance-based bonuses and recognition.
Retirement Benefits: 401(k) with up to 6% employer match and additional contributions.
Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, life, and accident insurance.
Supportive Leave: Family care, bereavement, jury duty, and military leave.
Career Growth: Training, development, and advancement opportunities.
These benefits apply to U.S.-based applicants. Alcoa reserves the right to modify plans as needed.
