We’re looking for a Maintenance Planner/Scheduler to play a critical role in keeping our operations running safely, efficiently, and reliably. If you thrive at the intersection of planning, collaboration, and operational excellence, this role offers the chance to make a real impact every day.

• Plan maintenance work by defining required trades, repair times, access requirements, and total job duration.
• Maintain and update Maximo asset hierarchy, ensuring accurate status for active and decommissioned assets.
• Ensure all materials, parts, tools, permits, and required documentation are available before work is scheduled.
• Work with Trades, Supervisors, and internal customers to define corrective maintenance, planned repairs, and small project scopes.
• Maintain CMMS data integrity by verifying all inputs related to PMs, job plans, assets, and work order documentation.
• Apply best maintenance planning practices to improve safety, reliability, equipment uptime, and work quality.

Scheduling & Coordination

• Create weekly maintenance schedules that optimize labor utilization, minimize downtime, and ensure PM compliance.
• Coordinate all PM and CM work with Trades, Operations, Maintenance Supervisors, and other stakeholders.
• Schedule and manage vendor-maintenance services such as generator inspections, racking inspections, and substation electrical maintenance.
• Align scheduled maintenance windows with operational requirements to ensure safe and efficient execution.
• Sequence work to balance priorities, resource availability, materials readiness, and safety considerations.

Compliance, Safety & Reliability

• Ensure all planned work complies with legislative, regulatory, and code requirements (electrical code, fire code, building code, insurance standards).
• Support ESA inspections and ensure electrical standards are maintained.
• Utilize CMMS reporting to monitor planning and scheduling performance—including PM compliance, backlog, labor utilization, and planned vs. unplanned ratios.

Continuous Improvement & Support

• Plan and optimize annual preventative maintenance, rebuild, and overhaul programs for equipment and facility systems.
• Support capital projects, building initiatives, and cross-functional meetings as required (e.g., Think-box, stakeholder meetings).
• Retain and coordinate contractors as authorized by the Maintenance Manager.

Qualifications:

Any of the following
