The Planner – Scheduler is responsible for organizing preventive, predictive, corrective, and project maintenance work orders in coordination with the Maintenance team, Engineering, Operations, Stores, and Procurement. The Planner – Scheduler defines, creates, updates, and/or modifies work procedures and maintains documentation for administrative and quality purposes. She/he places special emphasis on maintaining the on‑time delivery of a preventive / predictive maintenance plan that will ensure optimum operation of the company’s assets both in the short and long term, thereby impacting the decrease in unplanned equipment downtime and lowering total cost of ownership for their area’s assets.

You Will Have The Opportunity To

• Plan preventive / predictive work: Creates the appropriate work details (instructions, safety precautions and PPE, spare parts needed, tools needed, number and type of craft resources, duration and sequence of work tasks, whether equipment is energized or de-energized, drawings and manuals, etc.) for repetitive preventive and predictive work to the standard work templates. Develop and maintain PM/PdM/overhaul/replacement strategy for every asset that complies with operations schedule strategy.
• Schedule daily/weekly work: Sets the daily and weekly schedules for internal maintenance staff for all jobs (preventative, predictive, corrective, rebuilds, etc.) except emergency calls. The scheduler sets the schedule, adjusts as priorities arise, re-schedules what was not completed in compliance with schedule, and ultimately ensures that PM and PdM work is completed on time, within an appropriate window. This task includes schedule creation, communication via leading weekly meetings, and distribution (paper or electronic).
• Plan corrective maintenance work: Adds the appropriate work details to turn ad hoc and PM follow-up work notifications into fully planned work orders, taking care to standardize these tasks whenever possible. Ideal turnaround: 3‑5 business days. Physically stages parts and tools for specific jobs and/or returns unused items to their proper storage location.
• Schedule outage work: Schedules outage work, whether a site-wide outage or specific equipment outage, including support from operators. Communicates the outage plan with critical path identification, daily outage updates, and leadership of multiple pre‑outage meetings to ensure all stakeholders are aware of the timeline. Works jointly with project leaders for installations or modifications, often performed during an outage, and contributes to the project schedule input.
