  • Improving preventive maintenance effectiveness and schedule compliance
  • Supporting predictive maintenance and reliability initiatives
  • Analyzing downtime trends, PM compliance, OEE, MTBF, and MTTR data

  • Serving as the primary owner of CMMS planning and data integrity
  • Developing maintenance reports, dashboards, and planning tools
  • Partnering directly with maintenance technicians and operations teams on the shop floor
  • Identifying opportunities to improve maintenance processes, reliability, and operational performance

  • collaborating directly with technicians and operations teams

You also know how to:

Most importantly, you’re energized by improving how maintenance gets done.

What you’ll bring…
  • 3–7+ years of maintenance planning, maintenance coordination, or reliability experience within manufacturing environments
  • Strong CMMS/EAM experience (Aptean, Maximo, TabWare, or similar systems)
  • Experience supporting preventive and predictive maintenance programs
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Understanding of manufacturing equipment and maintenance best practices
  • Strong planning, scheduling, and organizational skills
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with technicians, operations, and engineering teams
  • Strong communication and reporting skills

Preferred:

  • Experience within food manufacturing or packaging environments
