The Maintenance Planner / Analyst reports to the Equipment Manager and provides enterprise-level ownership of maintenance planning standards, reliability analysis, parts strategy, and maintenance system governance. This role independently develops planning processes and analytical approaches, identifies reliability and inventory risks, and formulates recommendations that improve preventive maintenance compliance, reduce repeat failures and reactive work, strengthen parts readiness, and improve maintenance workflow predictability across the organization.

The Analyst may implement routine system, data, workflow, and planning-process changes within established Company parameters; material maintenance-strategy, budget, purchasing, staffing, and operational-priority decisions remain subject to management approval.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own, develop, and maintain Company-wide maintenance planning standards, work-order readiness
  requirements, planning workflows, priority definitions, required data elements, and closure
  expectations.
• Develop and maintain standardized maintenance job plans, work packages, parts lists, planning
  templates, and supporting documentation for recurring and complex maintenance activities.
• Audit adherence to maintenance planning and data standards, determine corrective follow-up for
  recurring deficiencies, and implement routine workflow and planning-process improvements within
  established Company parameters.
• Analyze repeat failures, downtime, maintenance history, backlog condition, and other reliability trends
  to identify significant risks and determine which issues warrant formal root-cause review.
• Coordinate root-cause analysis with Service Superintendents, mechanics, ESG, Operations,
  vendors, and other technical resources; evaluate alternatives, recommend corrective actions, and
  track implementation and results.
• Analyze parts consumption, demand patterns, lead times, stockouts, equipment criticality, and
  maintenance requirements to recommend reorder points, minimum/maximum levels, and critical
  spares quantities.
• Identify excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory; evaluate parts commonality and
  standardization opportunities across equipment classes and locations and recommend appropriate
  action.
• Align parts planning with preventive maintenance schedules, standardized job plans, and anticipated
  maintenance demand to improve parts availability and work readiness across the organization.
• Serve as functional owner and primary business administrator of the Company maintenance and
  work-order system, including data standards, work-order structures, failure and priority codes,
  required fields, and workflow design.
• Implement routine system, data, configuration, and workflow changes within established Company
  parameters; evaluate system enhancements and recommend broader improvements for
  management approval.
• Develop system guidance and training materials; train mechanics, superintendents, and other users
  and audit compliance with established maintenance-system and data standards.
• Establish, maintain, and evaluate maintenance planning and reliability measures, including planned
  versus reactive work, PM compliance, backlog readiness and aging, repeat failures, corrective-action
