Job summary

Skeena Gold + Silver Limited is seeking a Fixed Plant Maintenance Planner for the Eskay Creek Mine site in northwest British Columbia. You will develop safe, field-executable maintenance work plans for fixed plant assets, coordinating with maintenance, operations, reliability, supply chain, engineering and contractors.

The role covers mechanical and electrical/instrumentation planning, including labour, materials, permits, isolation requirements, and CMMS data.

Qualifications

• 5 years of fixed plant maintenance experience in mining, mineral processing, heavy industrial, or comparable process operations, including demonstrated maintenance planning or scheduling experience.
• Working knowledge of both mechanical and electrical/instrumentation maintenance activities, with the ability to develop coordinated work packages across disciplines and recognize when specialist technical input is required.
• Strong understanding of maintenance work management, including work identification, scope development, job planning, backlog management, material coordination, weekly scheduling, shutdown planning, execution support, and work-order close-out.
• Proficiency with computerized maintenance management systems and the ability to maintain asset records, bills of materials, task lists, job plans, work orders, and planning data; experience with enterprise maintenance software is considered an asset.
• Ability to interpret mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation drawings, equipment manuals, datasheets, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, loop drawings, schematics, and vendor documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to estimate labour, duration, materials, tooling, contractor support, and execution constraints for maintenance work.
• Experience planning shutdowns, commissioning work, major component replacements, or complex multi-trade maintenance activities is considered an asset.
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing work demands in a fast-paced site environment.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with operations, maintenance trades, supervisors, engineering, reliability, supply chain, contractors, and vendors.
• Strong commitment to safe work planning, regulatory compliance, effective energy isolation, and the preparation of work packages that enable safe and efficient field execution.

Responsibilities

• Develop complete, field-executable job plans for corrective, preventive, predictive, and project maintenance on fixed plant mechanical and electrical/instrumentation assets.
• Define job scope, work sequence, craft requirements, estimated labour hours, crew size, tools, lifting and access requirements, consumables, test equipment, permits, isolations, and quality-control steps.
• Plan mechanical work including crushers, conveyors, screens, pumps, piping, tanks, process equipment, lubrication systems, and related structural components.
• Plan electrical and instrumentation work including motors, variable-frequency drives, motor control centres, switchgear, power distribution, field instruments, control valves, analyzers, communication systems, PLC/DCS interfaces, and associated testing or calibration.
• Conduct field walkdowns with supervisors, trades, operations, engineering, and vendors to validate job scope, site conditions, hazards, access, isolation points, and execution constraints.
• Build and maintain job plan templates, task lists, maintenance routes, standard job plans, work instructions, and work packages in the CMMS.
• Review incoming work requests for clarity, priority, asset identification, planning requirements, and readiness; return incomplete requests for clarification and convert approved requests into planned work orders.
• Maintain a healthy, prioritized backlog and identify work that is ready to schedule based on labour, material, operational, and site-access requirements.
• Support weekly and longer-range scheduling by providing accurate job durations, craft-loading requirements, dependencies, and ready-to-schedule work packages.
• Prepare integrated work packages for planned shutdowns, major component replacements, commissioning activities, and other complex maintenance events.
