Reliability Radio EP 328: YOUNG GUNS OF RELIABILITY - Eric Rosales & Alexis Madris – JLL

Join Jonathan Guiney on Reliability Radio as they sit down with JLL's rising stars, Alexis Madris and Eric Rosales. Offering a fresh, younger perspective on the industry, they reveal the unexpected appeal of reliability and asset management: the creativity in data analysis, the thrill of problem-solving, and the satisfaction of seeing assets perform with "fantasy football" like precision.

The conversation delves into their unique career journeys, from planning and maintenance technician roles to strategic reliability platforms, highlighting how diverse, hands-on experience provides a crucial "leg up." They offer powerful advice for aspiring professionals: don't be afraid to ask questions, seek out experienced mentors (especially those on the shop floor), and always challenge complacency. The discussion candidly addresses the perception problem of "facilities" work, advocating for "sexifying" the industry to attract new talent by showcasing its true complexity, impact, and "fun." Eric and Alexis ultimately emphasize the vital role of operations in ensuring essential systems, from steam to power, reliably keep the world running.
