Join Prysmian Group and Shape What’s Next

As the global leader in energy and telecom cable systems, Prysmian Group connects cities, industries, and people.

Discover how you can Make Your Mark at Prysmian Group

A Day in This Role

You start the morning scanning dashboards of asset health, spotting a vibration spike on a critical production line. By mid-morning you’re leading a root cause session, translating complex findings into clear actions. After lunch, you meet with Automation, Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance to align on a Management of Change proposal for a new piece of equipment—making sure it’s reliable and maintainable from day one. You close the day by prioritizing a portfolio of projects to eliminate chronic failures and lift uptime across the plant.

What You’ll Do

Champion reliability improvement, providing hands-on technical leadership and guidance.
Drive reliability excellence initiatives and deliver projects that lift overall equipment effectiveness and availability.
Analyze production losses and high maintenance spend to target bad actors and reduce repeat failures.
Lead failure investigations; identify true root causes and implement permanent corrective actions.
Shape Maintenance strategies—build and refine PM and PdM programs using tools such as vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasonics, and oil analysis.
Participate in Management of Change activities for new or modified equipment to ensure maintainability and reliability from the outset.
Work closely with technical and operations teams to mitigate recurring breakdowns through data-driven strategies.
Maximize equipment performance with a focus on: employee safety, high availability/uptime, and readiness for strategic growth.
Collaborate daily with Automation, Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance to resolve near-term issues and plan long-term improvements.
Identify and support continuous improvement initiatives throughout the facility.

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or a related discipline preferred).
5+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, or maintenance.
Lean/Six Sigma certification preferred; practical experience with 6S, Kaizen, and Operational Excellence.
Advanced data analysis capability and familiarity with statistical methods.
Excellent communicator and collaborator with a track record of coordinating diverse teams.
Change agent mindset—energetic, positive, and effective in driving adoption.
Strong organizational skills with disciplined prioritization.
Robust mechanical/electrical aptitude; skilled in problem-solving frameworks such as RCA, FMEA, and 5-Why.
Decisive and thoughtful under pressure; able to navigate complexity and rapid change.
Able to deliver constructive feedback and distill complex topics into clear, actionable steps; confident facilitator and presenter.

Work Environment

Expect a dynamic setting with multiple concurrent projects and firm deadlines. You’ll support a range of departments and shift quickly as priorities evolve.

Exposure to dust, oil, grease, heat/humidity, fumes, and noise at times.
Use of appropriate PPE in manufacturing areas (safety shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection as required).
Occasional entry into walled containment areas and access to roofs; conditions may be uncomfortably hot or cold at times.

Accessibility

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
