Develop, publish, and maintain the site's daily and weekly maintenance schedules in the CMMS, balancing preventive, corrective, emergency, and predictive work against available labor, parts, and asset availability. Review and triage all incoming work requests (PM, CM, EM, PdM), assigning priority, craft, and target completion timeframe in the CMMS. Plan corrective and preventive work orders in the CMMS, identifying required parts, labor hours, tools, permits, and job procedures before releasing work to the maintenance team.
Build, standardize, and continuously refine the PM task library and PM schedules to maximize equipment reliability and compliance. Generate and release PM work orders on schedule and monitor PM compliance against site targets. Partner with the Reliability team to translate predictive maintenance (PdM) findings (vibration, thermography, oil analysis) into scoped, planned corrective work orders.

Serve as the primary administrator of the CMMS for the maintenance department, including workflow configuration, asset hierarchy and equipment master data integrity, and data entry standards. Ensure accurate work order closeout, failure coding, and documentation in the CMMS for all completed preventive, corrective, emergency, and predictive work.
Coordinate with the MRO Specialist to confirm parts availability and lead times ahead of scheduled work, and flag reorder point or min/max needs for critical spares. Develop and distribute maintenance KPI and metrics reporting (PM compliance, backlog aging, MTTR/MTBF, wrench time) to maintenance leadership. Partner with the Plant Engineer and Maintenance Manager to align weekly schedules with production priorities, outages, and turnaround plans.
Maintain job plans, standard work instructions, and equipment documentation to support consistent, repeatable work execution. Support root cause analysis and reliability improvement initiatives by supplying historical work order, failure, and cost data.
