Mechanical Drives and Lubrication Reliability Leader

Novelis is the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, producing an estimated 19 percent of the world's flat-rolled aluminum products. We work alongside our customers to provide innovative solutions to the aerospace, beverage can, automotive and high-end specialty markets.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Novelis has approximately 11,600 employees in 25 operating facilities on four continents and is investing close to $1.5 billion in global rolling and recycling expansions to meet the growing demand for our premium product.

Position Overview:

Novelis has an immediate opening for a Mechanical Drives and Lubrication Reliability Leader. In this roll, you would report to the Senior Manager of Reliability, for Novelis North America (NNA), and be part of the Manufacturing Excellence Group. This position is a key role of the newly developed "Reliability Center of Excellence" (RCoE) and would be considered a Subject Matter Expert (SME), for the region.

As a Mechanical Drives and Lubrication Leader, you will be responsible for improving the reliability of plant maintenance and operations, to support the high demand production levels needed to provide aluminum sheet to our customers. To achieve these goals, you will be required to coach and develop plant leadership as well as managing regional plant programs. With the new Focused 5 goals highlighting reduction of "losses", you will also be working with the plants and WCM leaders, regionally and locally, to find and minimize unplanned downtime, speed losses, total maintenance times and other non-value added work.

This means that 40% to 60% of the time you could be on the road. However, considerations will be made for a good "work-life" balance. As part of this, good coordination and regular communications with each of the plant leaders will be a key part of your responsibilities and could also be performed virtually.
