(Medior) Reliability project engineer

Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability. 

If the maintenance plan fails to identify critical breakdown risks in time, entire production lines may halt, endangering worker safety and millions in output. You already know this—because you're the kind of expert who prevents such scenarios through rigorous reliability methods.

We would therefore welcome you at AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects, as a Reliability Engineer:

The scope, here, is to strengthen industrial maintenance plans on critical sites by delivering high-reliability solutions for equipment and production infrastructure.

The Key responsibilities expected from our consultant might include:

Support projects through high-quality and detail-oriented execution, ensuring accuracy and meeting expectations:

• Elaborate and optimize maintenance plans, including criticality analysis, failure modes, and machine breakdown structures
• Propose specific maintenance tasks and write technical instructions
• Integrate and manage the codification of equipment in the CMMS (GMAO) and adjust spare-parts stock management parameters
• Create and trigger maintenance plans in the CMMS
• Use work orders to formalize and track interventions

Support projects with rational and data-driven assessments regarding costs, quality, and timelines, providing objective analyses for decision-making:

• Identify and analyze key technical items based on on-site surveys and technical documents
• Pilot maintenance performance through KPIs by choosing, implementing, and tracking the indicators to optimize operations
• Analyze the primary causes of failures using Root Cause Analysis, Why-Why, and Ishikawa

Support projects by facilitating communication and reporting between stakeholders:

• Manage and prioritize the work backlog; prepare and plan interventions according to quality standards
• Manage spare parts (codification, stock, repairables) and plan workload according to available resources
• Train clients to use the CMMS and related systems

The experience we are actively looking for:

• Master's degree in Electromechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Proven experience in reliability methodologies (RCA, Pareto, failure modes, criticality)
• Ability to read, interpret, and modify technical drawings such as P&IDs and electrical diagrams
• Motivated by challenging and high-stakes sectors (e.g., pharma, nuclear, steel industry)
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build trust with stakeholders
• Proactive and structured, able to manage priorities and adapt to change
• Committed to safety as a top priority
• Fluent in French, with good written understanding of English; Dutch is a plus
• Valid work and residence permits for Belgium (mandatory for non-EU candidates)
• Immediate availability and presence in Belgium are preferred

Your best career choice will be one that propels you toward becoming a future intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise.

Check with AETHER if more impactful opportunities are relevant for you. For the sake of Business reactivity, priority is being given to candidates who are already living in Belgium and are available rapidly.
