About The Role
The prime objective of the Maintenance Planner is to improve the efficiency and productivity of maintenance own personnel and third party maintenance services through a good planning, follow up and optimization of all preventive and corrective maintenance tasks. In addition to achieve the set targets for equipment availability / reliability at the lowest optimum and sustainable maintenance cost, in collaboration with all involved departments or sub-departments, following the maintenance guidelines (CIF and MAC) defined by the company.

What You’ll Accomplish

Maintenance Planning: Plan all work orders by assigning the required parts, tools, procedures, drawings, and resources to the work. Plan the weekly, monthly, yearly and long-term maintenance plans. Examine and prioritize maintenance activities with team members.

Equipment Availability: Contribute to the reliability of the equipment by daily review of maintenance requests and collaborating with production and inspectors to assess priority and criticality. Provide technical and operational support along with applying and reviewing maintenance procedures and systems.

Scope of Work & Subcontractors: Write a detailed scope of work for all major work and identify required skills. Plan, coordinate, and oversee work carried out by third parties to support maintenance activities.

Inventory Management: Generate and follow up on purchase requests for materials, spare, and wear parts ensuring just-in-time delivery. Work closely with stores and purchasing personnel to optimize inventory levels without compromising plant reliability.

Maintenance Performance & Cost Tracking: Track all Maintenance Department KPI statistics (repeat work, PM compliance, machinery failure, MTBF, equipment net availability, etc.). Estimate, track, and control costs of maintenance work orders to remain within budgetary constraints.

Communication & Operational Meetings: Act as the main point of contact between maintenance and operations. Represent maintenance in operational meetings to determine priorities, plan shutdown periods, and optimize maintenance during those times.

Continual Improvement: Continually review and evaluate methods, processes, tools, and equipment to optimize the maintenance function, implementing corrective measures for continuous improvement.

Standards & Documentation: Responsible for updating and maintaining department files and historical data while ensuring productivity, housekeeping, and quality of work standards are maintained.
