Maintenance Planner – Keep Operations in Motion

Hackensack, NJ | On-site | Full-time Competitive Pay + Benefits | Critical Role in Daily Operations

In manufacturing, downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. That’s why we’re looking for a Maintenance Planner who thinks two steps ahead and brings clarity, coordination, and calm to a constantly moving environment.

You’ll be the nerve center of equipment reliability—translating insight into action, keeping parts and people aligned, and preventing problems before they start. This isn’t about waiting for things to break. It’s about building systems that don’t.

What You'll Tackle :

• Plan and prioritize maintenance work for high-speed equipment
• Coordinate materials, permits, safety protocols, and documentation
• Monitor work orders, backlogs, timelines, and performance metrics
• Collaborate with technicians, production, engineering, and vendors
• Drive smarter scheduling, fewer delays, and better use of resources
• Maintain accuracy in parts inventory and labor reporting
• Help shape a proactive, improvement-driven maintenance culture
• 7+ years of experience in maintenance or operations planning
• A sharp eye for process detail and task prioritization
• Hands-on knowledge of CMMS systems (and what to do when the plan changes)
• Strong communication across teams and levels
• Comfort with data, Excel, and balancing what’s urgent vs. important
• A mindset that asks : “How can this be done better?”

Why This Role Matters :

• You’ll directly influence uptime, safety, and cost efficiency
• Your work keeps critical production lines running day after day
• You’ll be part of a leadership-backed team that values initiative
• This is a company where reliability is a respected, high-impact discipline

Ready to take control of the chaos and make maintenance smarter? Let’s talk. Apply today to step into a role where your planning powers truly matter.
