Job Description

Are you someone who thrives on organization, problem-solving, and keeping operations running at peak performance? As a Maintenance Planner, you’ll play a critical role at the heart of our operations—driving efficiency, minimizing downtime, and ensuring our equipment and teams are always set up for success.

This is more than a planning role—it’s an opportunity to own processes, lead coordination across teams, and make a visible impact every single day.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the Plan, Drive the Execution

• Build and manage maintenance schedules across all shifts, ensuring seamless coordination of preventive and corrective work
• Create, prioritize, and track work orders through our ERP system
• Continuously optimize our maintenance program to improve reliability and reduce downtime

Be the Connector Between Teams

• Act as the key link between maintenance, production, and planning to align operational priorities
• Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to ensure work is completed efficiently and to standard
• Communicate updates, performance metrics, and priorities clearly across departments

Lead Projects & Continuous Improvement

• Define project scopes, gather quotes, and support approval processes
• Manage service contracts, vendor performance, and associated costs
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, parts availability, and overall maintenance efficiency

Keep Operations Running Smoothly

• Anticipate needs through MRP planning and forecasting to ensure critical parts are always available
• Adjust schedules in real-time to respond to breakdowns and urgent operational needs
• Support maintenance shutdown planning and provide hands-on assistance during critical projects (including winter rebuilds)

Be the Go-To Technical Resource

• Research equipment manuals, specifications, and new part alternatives
• Estimate labor and material costs for maintenance activities
• Ensure teams have the tools, parts, and technical information needed to succeed

What Makes This Role Exciting

• High Impact: Your work directly influences uptime, efficiency, and production success
• Variety: No two days are the same—balance planning, problem-solving, and hands-on support
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams and experienced trades professionals
• Ownership: Take the lead on processes, projects, and continuous improvement initiatives

Additional Details

• Occasional flexibility is required to support emergencies or critical maintenance activities outside regular hours
• You may step in to support parts management, inventory validation, and receiving when needed
• Other related responsibilities may be assigned as part of a dynamic and evolving environment

Qualifications

• Proven experience in maintenance planning within a manufacturing environment, including creating and managing work orders
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office and ERP systems such as D365 and Microsoft AX (highly preferred)
• Hands-on experience with purchasing processes and vendor management, including sourcing, negotiating, and coordinating services
• Solid understanding of electrical and mechanical components, with the ability to identify parts and support technical decisions
• Exceptional organizational, planning, and execution skills with a strong attention to detail
• Ability to safely operate industrial equipment such as forklifts, man lifts, and other material handling equipment
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and levels of the organization
• Proven ability to perform under pressure, adapt to changing priorities, and work collaboratively toward shared goals
