Job description

At Materion, everyone is included, respected and offered opportunity to grow. Join us!

The Maintenance Planner - Scheduler owns and streamlines all maintenance planning and scheduling activities within their manufacturing area. The Maintenance Planner - Scheduler is responsible for prioritizing non-emergency / non-urgent work, level loading preventative and predictive maintenance activities throughout the year to ensure appropriate manpower. The Planner - Scheduler is responsible for organizing preventive, predictive, corrective, and project maintenance work orders in coordination with the Maintenance team, Engineering, Operations, Stores, and Procurement.

The Planner - Scheduler defines, creates, updates, and/or modifies work procedures and maintains documentation for administrative and quality purposes. She/he places special emphasis on maintaining the on-time delivery of a preventive / predictive maintenance plan that will ensure optimum operation of the company's assets both in the short and long term, thereby impacting the decrease in unplanned equipment downtime and lowering total cost of ownership for their area's assets.

You Will Have the Opportunity to:
  • Plan Preventive / Predictive Work: Creates the appropriate work details (instructions, safety precautions and PPE, spare parts needed, tools needed, number and type of craft resources, duration and sequence of work tasks, whether equipment is energized or de-energized, drawings and manuals, etc.) for repetitive preventive and predictive work to the standard work templates. Develop and maintain PM/PdM/overhaul/replacement strategy for every asset that complies with operations schedule strategy
  • Schedule Daily/Weekly Work: Sets the daily and weekly schedules for internal maintenance staff for all jobs (preventative, predictive, corrective, rebuilds, etc.) except emergency calls. This is the primary function of the scheduler to set the schedule, adjust as priorities arise, re-schedule what was not completed in compliance with schedule, and ultimately ensure that PM and PdM work is completed on time, within an appropriate window. Inherent in this task is not only the creation of schedules, but their appropriate communication (via leading weekly meetings) and distribution (paper or electronic) as well
  • Plan Corrective Maintenance Work: Similar to planning preventive/predictive work, add the appropriate work details to turn ad hoc and PM follow-up work notifications into fully planned work orders, taking care to standardize these tasks whenever possible. Ideal turnaround: 3-5 business days. Physically stage parts and tools for specific jobs and/or return what is not used to its proper storage location.
  • Schedule Outage Work: Similar to scheduling daily/weekly work, this position is also responsible for scheduling outage work, whether a site-wide outage or specific equipment outage. Different to Daily/Weekly scheduling, this will also include scheduling of support from operators for the outage. Communication of the outage plan must also include identification of a critical path job(s), daily outage update strategy/format, and leading multiple meetings prior to the outage to ensure everyone (maintenance, engineering, operations, contractors, etc.) is aware of the timeline. As part of this task, the Scheduler should also work jointly with project leaders for installations/modifications to equipment, most likely performed during an outage though pre-outage prep work falls into the daily category above. In this instance, the Scheduler is responsible for giving input on the project schedule and taking over

Experience

  • Required:
    • 5 years as a maintenance mechanic or electrical technician or 2 years as a maintenance supervisor.
    • Experience in an industrial manufacturing or military environment.
  • Preferred:
    • 5+ years as a technician or 3+ years as a supervisor.
