Reliability Engineer - Condition Monitoring & Vibration Analysis

Are you a mechanically biased Reliability Engineer, Condition Monitoring Engineer or Predictive Maintenance Engineer with experience of vibration analysis, rotating equipment and root cause investigation?

We are recruiting for a hands-on Reliability Engineer to improve the availability, performanceand long-term reliability of anaerobic digestion plants and gas-upgrading equipment across the East of England and the UK.

This is not a desk-based role. You will work directly with maintenance teams, plant operators and engine technicians, using condition monitoring and reliability-engineering techniques to identify faults early, prevent repeat failures and reduce unplanned downtime.

What's in it for you?

• Bonus scheme
• Company van or car allowance
• Private healthcare
• Up to 7.5% contributory pension
• 33 days' annual leave including bank holidays
• Home-based role with UK-wide responsibility
• All tools and condition-monitoring equipment provided
• Opportunity to build and shape a predictive maintenance programme

The role

As Reliability Engineer, you will:

• Carry out vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis and LDAR condition monitoring
• Lead Root Cause Analysis investigations into repeat failures and plant breakdowns
• Complete FMEA assessments on critical equipment, systems and processes
• Build and develop predictive maintenance routes across multiple sites
• Analyse condition-monitoring data and produce clear technical reports
• Raise maintenance actions and record findings within the CMMS
• Troubleshoot mechanical faults and support rapid plant recovery
• Recommend equipment upgrades, maintenance improvements and corrective actions
• Work closely with maintenance teams, engine technicians and plant operators
• Travel to biogas plants and other sites across the UK

The role is focused on improving asset health, preventing unnecessary downtime and increasing the reliability of anaerobic digestion plants and associated equipment.

What we're looking for

• Strong mechanical engineering background
• Good knowledge of rotating equipment and common failure modes
• Experience in condition monitoring or predictive maintenance
• Vibration Analysis qualification
• Ability to interpret condition-monitoring data and produce accurate reports
• Experience leading Root Cause Analysis investigations
• Knowledge of FMEA or similar reliability tools
• Experience using CMMS or predictive maintenance software
• Willingness to travel extensively and occasionally work independently
• Strong communication and IT skills

Relevant sector experience may include:

• Anaerobic digestion or biogas
• Food or process manufacturing
• Steel
• Chemicals or petrochemicals
• Oil and gas
• Power generation
• Heavy industry

Qualifications

Ideally, you will have:

Mechanical apprenticeship or equivalent experience

NVQ Level 2 or above in a mechanical discipline

BINDT or Mobius CAT I or CAT II qualification

Lubrication or thermography qualification

Formal training in RCA or FMEA

Suitable job titles

Reliability Engineer, Condition Monitoring Engineer, Predictive Maintenance Engineer, Vibration Analyst, Mechanical Reliability Engineer, Asset Reliability Engineer, Rotating Equipment Engineer, Maintenance Reliability Engineer or Mechanical Maintenance Engineer.
