Staff Reliability Engineer (Onsite)

Enterprise Reliability Engineer    The Enterprise Reliability Engineer is a seasoned maintenance and reliability professional focused on one central question: how do we move Tyson from a reactive maintenance approach to a proactive, reliability-driven organization at scale? This role is hyper-focused on   identifying   where the biggest opportunities are across our maintenance operations and driving the changes, priorities, and programs needed to capture them.   This position requires working side by side with plant maintenance teams, understanding their opportunities, and continuously improving the practices and technology in their hands. You will lead our predictive maintenance program,   provide   expert guidance into the priorities for the maintenance capabilities of our enterprise application, and target the highest-value opportunities — from predictive maintenance to MRO and spare-parts inventory optimization. Success in this role is measured not by activity, but by reliability improved and dollars saved at the plant level.   With more than 8,000 maintenance team members across 100+ manufacturing facilities, this position will be front and center influencing change and driving proactive maintenance practices at   massive   scale.   Immediate Focus (First 6–12 Months)   Lead the enterprise rollout and adoption of our predictive maintenance ( PdM ) program, ensuring each facility realizes real, measurable value — not just installed technology.   Provide   expert guidance into the priorities, requirements, and backlog for the maintenance-related capabilities of our enterprise application, so development effort targets the highest-value work first.   Establish baseline reliability KPIs and the metrics that will track our shift from a reactive to a proactive maintenance approach.   Build early credibility and relationships with plant maintenance leaders to lay the groundwork for enterprise-wide change.   Future Scope & Roadmap   Lead MRO and spare-parts inventory optimization across the network — reducing carrying costs and stockouts while improving parts availability and asset uptime.   Expand the proactive/reliability program enterprise-wide: reliability standards, asset criticality, and condition-based maintenance practices at scale.   Continue shaping the maintenance capabilities of our enterprise application as needs   evolve , keeping the backlog aligned to the biggest opportunities.   Potentially guide a new enterprise maintenance training platform, should it move onto the roadmap, including competency frameworks and technical learning paths.   Essential Duties and Responsibilities   Identify   the highest-value maintenance opportunities across the network and clearly define what needs to change or be developed to capture them.   Drive the transition from a reactive maintenance approach to a proactive, reliability-centered organization at   enterprise   scale.   Lead the enterprise-wide rollout of our predictive maintenance ( PdM ) program across 100+ facilities, driving standardization, adoption, and measurable value at each site.   Serve as the primary liaison to our external   PdM   vendor, continuously improving the platform by capturing structured feedback from plant maintenance teams and translating it into product enhancements.   Provide   expert guidance into the backlog and priorities for the maintenance capabilities within our internally developed enterprise maintenance and production application — helping decide what gets built and in what order.   Translate plant needs into clear, prioritized requirements and partner closely with internal software and data teams to deliver solutions that reflect how maintenance   actually works   on the floor.   Lead MRO and spare-parts inventory optimization efforts to reduce cost and improve parts availability across facilities.   Define, track, and report reliability KPIs (asset availability,
