The Maintenance Planner is responsible for coordinating, planning, and managing all nonemergency maintenance work to ensure maximum equipment reliability, asset health, and operational efficiency.

This includes preventive maintenance (PM), predictive maintenance, corrective work, and support for major outages or turnaround events.

Success in this role is measured by increased planned work, reduced reactive and breakin maintenance, improved equipment uptime, optimized labor utilization, and consistent execution of work safely, on time, and with the right resources in place.
