• Track and report on maintenance KPIs, including schedule adherence, equipment downtime, and work order completion.
• Participate in daily and weekly planning meetings to review upcoming work, progress, constraints, and changing priorities.
• Support the planning and execution of major shutdowns and turnarounds, including task sequencing and resource coordination.
• Collaborate with the Lead Planner and broader maintenance team to align maintenance schedules with long-term operational and project plans.

• Experience working with a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) such as SAP, Maximo, or a comparable platform.
• Strong understanding of preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs.
• Ability to assess equipment priorities, workloads, resource availability, and scheduling conflicts to build realistic maintenance schedules.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced operational environment.
• Effective communication and relationship-building skills when working with maintenance teams, operations, trades, and contractors.
• Strong understanding of industrial safety requirements and maintenance practices.
