Role Impact

Remote / Multi-Site - North America (Supporting 3 Assigned Sites)

Alternate Titles: Centralized Maintenance Planner | Network Maintenance Planner | Maintenance Work Management Planner

The Maintenance Planner is responsible for developing complete, accurate, and executable job plans for maintenance work across three assigned manufacturing sites. This role ensures that work orders contain the necessary scope, materials, labor estimates, permits, technical instructions, and supporting documentation required for safe and efficient execution.

The Planner transforms approved work requests into fully planned work packages and maintains the planned backlog to support effective scheduling and maintenance productivity across assigned sites. This position directly contributes to improved schedule readiness, reduced execution delays, better use of maintenance resources, and consistent work management discipline in a centralized multi-site support model.

The Maintenance Planner works closely with Gatekeepers, Schedulers, Supervisors, Operations, Procurement, Stores, Engineering, contractors, and Local Work Owners at each assigned site to ensure maintenance work is properly defined, resourced, and prepared before execution.

What You Will Do

• Maintain a healthy planned backlog for each assigned site to support effective weekly scheduling.
• Prioritize planning activities based on risk, production impact, safety, regulatory requirements, PM due dates, and site priorities.
• Review backlog regularly to identify aging, incomplete, duplicate, or improperly scoped work orders.
• Coordinate with site stakeholders to clarify work scope and resolve planning deficiencies.
• Support backlog cleanup and work order quality improvement across assigned sites.

Safety, Permits, and Compliance

• Identify required permits such as hot work, confined space, line break, excavation, lockout/tagout, and other applicable site requirements.
• Ensure job plans include safety precautions, hazard identification, and risk control expectations.
• Support compliance with regulatory, environmental, quality, and company safety requirements.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Operations, EHS, and site leadership on work requiring technical review, Management of Change, or special approvals.
• Ensure work packages include applicable drawings, procedures, manuals, specifications, and supporting documentation.
• Incorporate lessons learned and execution feedback into future job plans.

Communication and Coordination Across Assigned Sites

• Work closely with Gatekeepers and Local Work Owners to clarify work requests and ensure planning information is complete.
• Collaborate with Schedulers to ensure work is fully planned before scheduling.
• Communicate with Supervisors and site maintenance resources to validate labor estimates, craft requirements, and execution constraints.
• Coordinate with Operations to understand equipment conditions, access requirements, production constraints, and preferred execution windows.
• Balance planning workload across three assigned sites while maintaining consistent planning quality and timely support.
• Participate in planning, backlog, readiness, and scheduling meetings as required for each assigned site.

Continuous Improvement

• Update job plans based on feedback from technicians, Supervisors, Schedulers, and site stakeholders.
• Develop standard job plans for recurring work across assigned sites.
• Identify opportunities to improve planning accuracy, reduce delays, and improve work execution efficiency.
• Support reliability and maintenance improvement initiatives by improving work quality, work history, and documentation.
