What You Will Do
Create and govern a unified maintenance strategy that maximizes asset availability, minimizes risk, and optimizes lifecycle value across Freeport Americas operations by defining the standards and decision frameworks that determine when assets are maintained, paused, degraded, refurbished, or replaced. In this role, you define and own the enterprise maintenance strategy framework for Freeport Americas, explicitly governing failure-mode-informed tradeoffs that are executable with available resources and continuously refined through operational feedback. You lead development of a centralized planning capability, standardizing planning methods, quality expectations, and role definitions across equipment types and maintenance scopes. As the Director of Maintenance Strategy & Planning, you design strategies that maximize asset efficiency and mechanical availability while accounting for workforce capacity, skills, supply chain readiness, operating practices, and startup constraints, determining optimal outage frequency, timing, and duration. You ensure maintenance strategies are explicitly aligned with capital planning, defining clear decision frameworks for extending asset life, refurbishing, or replacing equipment based on performance, risk, and lifecycle economics. The role translates strategy into reliable demand signals for materials, contractors, and services, with procurement responsibilities retained by Supply Chain. You accelerate the Reinventing Mining agenda by integrating maintenance strategy with next-generation technologies and operational constraints. Establish and govern a technical maintenance knowledge system that preserves, replicates, and scales site-level improvements into enterprise capability. Embed maintenance strategies through standardized planning and scheduling processes. Systematically capture and deploy insights from failures and effective interventions across all sites. Routinely engage cross-functional leadership to ensure maintenance decisions support total business performance. Own and govern the enterprise maintenance work management process from identification through closeout. Establish standardized processes, decision rights, quality maintenance inputs, and performance metrics to drive consistent execution and continuous improvement across sites.
