Director, Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Management (Global) - Animal Health Manufacturing

Global Technical Leader For Asset Management And Reliability

We're looking for a seasoned technical leader to join our global animal health manufacturing team and drive a world-class asset management, maintenance and reliability (mram) program across a network of ~30 manufacturing sites. This role will own the design, deployment and continuous improvement of a global reliability strategy based on iso 55000 and company standards applying systems engineering thinking to deliver measurable improvements in equipment availability, lifecycle cost, regulatory compliance and plant performance.

You will partner closely with operations, site engineering, quality and supply chain leaders to embed preventive, predictive and precision maintenance practices, standardize work and spare-part strategies, and champion reliability-by-design across the asset lifecycle. This is a hands-on leadership role for a technical change agent with broad global experience in asset management, maintenance, reliability and systems engineering.

What you will do :

• Lead the global asset management & reliability program for animal health manufacturing (~30 sites), ensuring consistent application of iso 55000-aligned practices and company standards.
• Serve as a change agent for reliability excellence (rx) work streams within the global reliability program; prioritize and drive cross-site initiatives that deliver measurable uptime and cost benefits.
• Design and implement reliability centered maintenance (rcm), risk based inspection (rbi), condition based monitoring (cbm) and other advanced reliability methods and tools.
• Standardize maintenance and calibration templates (e.g., golden pms), kpis (downtime, operational availability, mttr, mtbf), and spare parts / obsolescence strategies across the network.
• Support site-level annual equipment risk assessments, recommend and lead common improvement actions for process, utility and facility systems, and coordinate multi-site implementations.
• Apply data mining and analytics to engineering, historical and field data to predict failures, optimize preventive / predictive strategies, and reduce life-cycle costs.
• Establish, prioritize and lead cross-functional reliability improvement teams; collaborate with operations, site engineering, procurement and finance on improvement strategies and capital prioritization.
• Hire, develop and coach internal staff and external contractors to build reliability capabilities across the global network.
• Promote continuous improvement and lean principles to reduce capital expense and improve maintenance efficiency, including lean six sigma tools and fmea.
• Ensure compliance with cGMP and regulatory requirements for sterile and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
