Backed by over a century of printing expertise, MCC is focused on the future-developing consumer-driven innovations and sustainable packaging solutions. Working for our team, you can truly make a difference.

Position Objective

The Reliability Engineer is a key driver of MCC's Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) strategy-responsible for building equipment reliability and asset care systems that enable world-class manufacturing performance.

This role leads the analysis, design, and execution of preventive and predictive maintenance programs, while embedding TPM principles across all facility and utility systems. The Reliability Engineer partners closely with Maintenance, Operations, and Continuous Improvement teams to establish a culture of autonomous maintenance, equipment ownership, and proactive problem prevention.

By developing standard work, training, and data-driven reliability programs, this position ensures our plants operate safely, efficiently, and with minimal unplanned downtime-directly supporting MCC's operational excellence and lean transformation goals.

Why Work at MCC

  • Competitive compensation
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
  • Paid holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
  • Opportunity to be part of a global leader in sustainable packaging and drive TPM excellence that transforms how our sites operate.

Responsibilities

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Leadership

  • Serve as a TPM subject matter expert, driving implementation of MCC's TPM pillars (Focused Improvement, Autonomous Maintenance, Planned Maintenance, Early Equipment Management, and Skills Development).
  • Partner with plant leadership to design and execute site-specific TPM deployment roadmaps and maturity assessments.
  • Lead cross-functional kaizen events to identify equipment losses, eliminate chronic issues, and improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
  • Coach maintenance and operations teams in root cause analysis, condition-based monitoring, and daily equipment care standards.
  • Champion Autonomous Maintenance by training operators in basic inspection, cleaning, and lubrication activities to increase equipment ownership and engagement.
  • Develop and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for reliability, including MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), and OEE.
  • Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

  • Ensure all equipment meets MCC safety, quality, and operational standards.
  • Lead the development and execution of robust preventive and predictive maintenance programs.
  • Audit and improve AssetEssentials (or other CMMS) data accuracy, utilization, and reporting to enable effective decision-making.
  • Analyze failure modes, equipment histories, and maintenance data to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Partner with engineering and operations to plan equipment upgrades or replacements to improve reliability.
  • Mentor and coach Maintenance teams to build a proactive, data-driven reliability mindset.
  • Training & Capability Building

  • Design and facilitate training programs for maintenance and production personnel on TPM, equipment care, and reliability fundamentals.
  • Develop standard work and visual controls to support consistent maintenance practices across MCC sites.
  • Collaborate with Corporate Standards Committees to align training content with global TPM deployment and corporate best practices.
  • Communicate training plans and progress to site leadership, ensuring accountability and alignment to TPM goals.
  • Travel

    Travel may be required up to 75%, including daily, overnight, or extended stays based on business needs (e.g., 10 days on / 4 days off). Travel frequency will be determined by the supervisor based on TPM, preventive maintenance, and training priorities.

    Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Maintenance Management, Facility Management, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • Minimum 10 years of reliability, maintenance, or operations experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated expertise implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) or similar reliability-centered maintenance systems.
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
  • Proven success leading maintenance teams and improving equipment performance in a lean manufacturing setting.
  • Experience facilitating TPM kaizens, OEE improvement projects, or AM / PM pillar activities.
  • Familiarity with CMMS (AssetEssentials or equivalent) and maintenance data analytics.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Proven ability to lead TPM deployment or coach site teams through TPM maturity stages.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to identify patterns in maintenance data and drive systemic solutions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to train and engage employees at all levels.
  • Advanced Excel or data visualization skills for performance tracking and analysis.
  • Self-motivated, results-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Demonstrated understanding of Lean tools such as 5S, Kaizen, SMED, and Standard Work.
  • Confident decision-maker with a collaborative, hands-on approach to problem solving.
  • Physical Requirements
