[Hiring] Industrial Plant Reliability & Maintenance Expert @Clera

Role Description

Clera is recruiting three experienced industrial plant reliability and maintenance experts for a contract project with a Leading Frontier Lab. You will review a simulated industrial plant benchmark used for AI evaluation and help assess whether its environment, synthetic sensor data, and fault and maintenance scenarios reflect real plant conditions.

• Review the simulated industrial plant benchmark from the perspective of an experienced plant practitioner.
• Give structured feedback on the realism of the simulated plant environment and synthetic sensor-data generation.
• Review proposed fault and maintenance scenarios for diagnosability, realistic costs, and defensible ground truth.

Qualifications

• Considerable hands-on process-plant experience (around 10 or more years preferred, but flexibility for substantial practical expertise).
• Hands-on experience with rotating equipment and associated plant equipment, including centrifugal pumps, motors, suction strainers, and coolers.
• Fluency in condition monitoring, including vibration analysis and bearing and cavitation fault signatures.
• Comfort working with historian data, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and maintenance documentation.
• A strong grasp of maintenance economics, including work orders, spares, and shutdown tradeoffs.

Requirements

• Openings: 3.
• Time commitment: approximately 5 hours per week per person.
• Initial duration: 3 months.
• Location: remote, with US- and Europe-based experts preferred; location is flexible.
• Compensation: approximately US$90 per hour.
