Technical Specialist - Reliability

Summary

The Technical Specialist - Reliability will be responsible for proactively monitoring, analyzing, and improving the performance

and reliability of natural gas compression equipment across Enerflex and/or customer’s assets in the United States.

This role uses real-time operational data, diagnostics, and trend analysis to identify equipment issues before

failures, helping maximize uptime, optimize performance, and support safe operations.

Principle Responsibilities and Duties

• Monitor remote telemetry and SCADA systems for compressor packages, engines, auxiliaries, and related field equipment across multiple customer locations.


• Analyze data to review underperforming units, filter out customer downtime issues. Analyze equipment performance trends, alarms, shutdowns, and operating conditions to identify emerging reliability concerns and recommend corrective actions.


• Identification of gaps in the operation based on KPI metrics and current organizational operation strategy


• Escalation of non-reliability related gaps to appropriate personnel (data, behavioral, etc.)


• Review customer unit reliability reporting from telemetry systems and develop a standardize reporting format per contractual requirements
