The Maintenance Planner of Primary Operations owns and streamlines all maintenance planning activities within their manufacturing area.

The Planner defines, creates, updates, and/or modifies work procedures and maintains documentation for administrative and quality purposes.

Develop and maintain PM/PdM/overhaul/replacement strategy for every asset that complies with operations schedule strategy.

Elevate to management and execute follow-up/corrective actions.
• Maintain (Update, Review, Add, and Remove as necessary) data for all equipment within planner's responsible area related to PM/PdM and standard work, BOM (Bill of Materials), associated drawings, associated manuals, and standard PM/PdM tooling requirements. The planner is fully accountable for the accuracy of this data.
• Collaborate in Maintenance Department Team Activities - Serve as backup Scheduler or Supervisor as required by area needs.
