Job Summary

Are you ready to lead reliability strategy, improve asset performance, and make a measurable impact on safety, quality, and operational excellence in a critical manufacturing environment?

IFF is a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients, and health & biosciences. We deliver sustainable innovations that elevate everyday products.

This role supports our Global Operations organization, ensuring excellence in execution—from reliability and asset performance to safety, quality, and efficiency across the value chain.

The Reliability Engineering Manager role is based in Memphis, TN (onsite).

Be part of a collaborative, results‑driven, and solution‑oriented team where together we can achieve greatness and make a real impact.

Your potential is our inspiration.

Where You’ll Make a Difference

  • Lead and coordinate site‑level reliability engineering activities, including asset health monitoring, lifecycle management, and equipment performance improvement.
  • Define, implement, and sustain site reliability strategies, including preventive and predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) programs.
  • Identify, analyze, and resolve recurring equipment failures using reliability engineering tools such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA).
  • Plan and coordinate plant shutdown maintenance activities, including direct oversight of contract maintenance crews.
  • Establish and maintain equipment criticality rankings and ensure appropriate critical spare parts strategies are in place.
  • Develop and revise mechanical and maintenance procedures aligned with precision maintenance and food manufacturing standards.
  • Lead and be accountable for the Spare Parts Program and storeroom strategy, including budget ownership and organization.
  • Support capital planning and long‑term reliability initiatives, partnering with Engineering and Operations teams.
  • Ensure all activities comply with food safety and quality requirements, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), sanitation, and pest control programs.

What Makes You the Right Fit

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field (or equivalent progressive experience).
  • Minimum 10 years of manufacturing and/or maintenance experience, with demonstrated reliability engineering focus.
  • Proven understanding and application of reliability engineering principles, including FMEA, RCFA, PM/PdM, and asset lifecycle management.
  • Demonstrated leadership experience in maintenance planning, project management, or team supervision.
  • Strong analytical capability to collect, interpret, and use data to assess risk and drive business decisions.
  • Ability to influence plant personnel at all levels through effective communication and collaboration.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and ability to learn site systems and databases.
  • Ability to work onsite and engage directly on the manufacturing floor.

How Would You Stand Out?

  • Experience supporting food manufacturing operations in a regulated environment.
  • Exposure to high‑speed rotating or continuous process equipment.
  • Six Sigma certification, Lean manufacturing experience, or formal continuous improvement training.

Why Choose Us?

  • Opportunity to drive measurable reliability and performance improvements in a critical manufacturing site.
  • Exposure to complex assets and cross‑functional engineering challenges.
  • A culture that values safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Career development within a global organization.
  • Collaborative team environment with strong operational partnerships.
  • Access to a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company contribution, paid parental leave, vacation, holidays, and an annual bonus.

For your awareness, IFF has announced its intention to sell its Food Ingredients Business to CVC Capital Partners. The sale is currently expected to close in the first half of 2027, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
