We are seeking an Asset Integrity and Reliability Engineering Manager to lead the management and optimisation of critical production assets at our Shotton operation. You will set the standard for availability, reliability and safe performance by embedding robust planned maintenance, shaping investment priorities and driving continuous improvement across the site.

Purpose of the role

Building Systems UK supplies premium building envelope solutions and provides routes to market for upstream Tata businesses, notably Tata Colors. Approximately 230 colleagues are based at Shotton, operating within a culture of safety, quality and continuous improvement.

The role leads the day-to-day workload of the Asset Integrity team to ensure Asset Performance targets are met and exceeded. You will design and govern risk-based preventative maintenance, schedule planned downtime with Operations and Planning, and apply reliability techniques to stabilise performance and reduce unplanned loss.

Key accountabilities

You will develop asset improvement plans and an Asset Risk Register, complete structured reliability studies that assess condition and obsolescence, and translate insights into time-bound actions. You will plan and communicate line outages so work is executed safely, on time and to budget. You will strengthen spares strategy by defining critical spares, improving stock data and closing inventory gaps. You will coach operators in basic care to build ownership at the line, and ensure all activities meet Tata Steel standards for health, safety, environment and quality, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 conformance.

Leadership and collaboration

Reporting to the Works Engineer, you will work closely with Engineering, Operations, Planning, Quality and HSE to align priorities and deliver measurable improvements in OEE, MTBF and cost per unit. You will set clear expectations for contractors and third parties, ensure effective permit control, and model safe, disciplined execution.

What you will need

You will hold a minimum HNC in a relevant engineering discipline and bring practical experience in process or high-volume manufacturing. You are confident with reliability tools and systems, including CMMS scheduling, FMEA, RCA, RCM and condition monitoring. You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, convert data into executable plans, and maintain precision under pressure. Strong IT skills and a proactive, safety-first mindset are essential.

This is a day-based role, Monday to Friday, with flexibility to support shift or weekend work when operationally required. The position offers the opportunity to shape reliability practice on critical assets and to influence future investment decisions that enhance performance and resilience.
