Joining Jonny Pops is an exciting opportunity to be part of a high-growth brand and have a direct impact on the company's success.

Maintenance Parts & Planning Lead owns two things that keep Jonny Pops' Elk River facility running reliably: the maintenance parts supply chain, and the maintenance planning process. This role is accountable for having the right part, in the right place, at the right cost, when a technician needs it — and for making sure preventive maintenance and facilities work get planned into the production schedule proactively, instead offoughtover at the last minute.

This is a hands‑on planning and inventory role, not a people‑management role over the technician team.

You'llpartner closely with the Maintenance & Reliability Manager, Production/Plant Planning, and Facilities to keep equipment reliable without disrupting output — andyou'llown the FIIX CMMS parts and planning modules as the business owner of that system for Jonny Pops.
