Lead the plan. Power the schedule. Own the storeroom.
Step into a role built for operational catalysts. In this position, you’ll direct the planning engine that keeps assets reliable and maintenance streamlined. Your mandate: integrate preventative and predictive maintenance into a cohesive CMMS-driven program, forge alignment across functions, and manage MRO materials with precision.
Mission
- Boost labor productivity, compress maintenance costs, and increase equipment reliability.
- Protect data integrity across work orders, equipment histories, and inventory records.
- Anchor the storeroom as a world-class materials hub supporting planned work.
What You Will Do
- Operate expertly in the CMMS/EAM: Materials Management and Maintenance modules for request conversion, work order management, asset updates, and backlog control.
- Build detailed job plans and planning packages that spell out steps, resources, safety permits (lockout/tagout, hot work, confined space), and follow-up actions.
- Publish a preliminary weekly schedule; run the cross-functional scheduling meeting with Department Managers, the Maintenance Manager, and the Production Planner to align priorities and approve the plan.
- Run inventory cost tools to find over/understock and correct min/max settings; schedule cycle counts and create count sheets to drive inventory accuracy.
- Analyze KPIs—daily stock movement, due-in, past-due, inventory accuracy, MTBF—to guide improvements to PM/PdM and planning quality.
- Approve, prioritize, and validate new work requests before releasing work orders; estimate labor hours from history and compile cost estimates for labor, materials, and outside services.
- Coordinate with Warehouse, Purchasing, Engineering, and vendors to pre-stage parts and arrange special equipment deliveries.
- Reserve, stage, and deliver materials to match the maintenance schedule; manage stock levels to support daily manufacturing and maintenance needs.
- Lead the MRO Materials Team; enforce storeroom policies and procedures and ensure data accuracy (vendor, pricing, hierarchy, PO#, location).
- Visit job sites to audit efficiency/effectiveness and feed findings back into plans, PM/PdM routines, and documentation (drawings, parts lists, job steps).
- Initiate requisitions as needed, demonstrate sound purchasing-process knowledge, and organize support personnel, contractors, and equipment for upcoming work.
- Share planning insights with Planners at other facilities to standardize and elevate practices.
