Our client is seeking an experienced CMMS Planner/Scheduler to support preventive-maintenance planning and calibration scheduling within a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.
The ideal candidate will have direct, hands-on experience using Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager (Blue Mountain RAM) and a strong understanding of calibration and maintenance workflows.

Use Blue Mountain RAM to plan, schedule, track, and maintain preventive-maintenance and calibration activities.
Create, update, and manage work orders, asset records, maintenance plans, calibration schedules, and related CMMS data.
Develop weekly and long-range maintenance and calibration schedules based on equipment criticality, operational needs, resource availability, and due dates.
Coordinate planned work with Engineering, Maintenance, Metrology/Calibration, Manufacturing, Quality, Validation, and external service providers.
Review upcoming and overdue activities and proactively address scheduling risks.
Ensure work packages include the necessary procedures, parts, tools, documentation, permits, and resource requirements.
Support calibration scheduling for GMP equipment, instruments, utilities, and facility systems.
Monitor work-order completion, schedule compliance, backlog, overdue activities, and other relevant performance metrics.
Maintain accurate and inspection-ready CMMS records in accordance with applicable procedures and good documentation practices.
Assist with CMMS data cleanup, asset hierarchy maintenance, record reconciliation, and continuous process improvement.
Support investigations and follow-up activities related to missed, overdue, or out-of-tolerance calibration events, as assigned.

Understanding of equipment and instrument calibration programs.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and time-sensitive due dates.
Ability to coordinate effectively with technicians, engineers, operations personnel, Quality, and external vendors.
