Title:  Senior Maintenance Planning Engineering Specialist

What You Will Do

Drive the connection between enterprise asset reliability strategy and field-level maintenance by converting approved strategies and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) insights into clear, actionable maintenance plans within ERP and CMMS platforms. This role emphasizes long-term asset value by designing, implementing, and governing standardized work orders, task lists, job plans, and preventive maintenance programs. The objective is to enable consistent, high-quality maintenance execution across the site network, ensuring alignment between real-world asset conditions, technical limitations, and operational priorities with the organization’s asset management goals.

• Convert approved maintenance strategies and FMEA findings into actionable plans within SAP S/4HANA EAM and APM. Develop comprehensive job plans and task lists that address identified failure modes, incorporating inspection standards, labor requirements, tools, materials, OEM guidelines, and safety considerations.
• Develop and maintain accurate CMMS asset structures, including functional locations, equipment master data, and task lists that reflect the physical asset hierarchy. Configure Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs with appropriate scheduling logic, including call horizons and cycle alignment. Ensure accurate BOM integration within work orders to support efficient parts planning, kitting, and procurement, while maintaining high-quality master data across all asset classes.
• Implement approved maintenance plans from the central repository into site CMMS systems, allowing for controlled site-level adjustments while maintaining alignment with enterprise standards. Manage deployment tracking, version control, and audit documentation across all locations and equipment groups.
• Review and audit active maintenance plans to ensure alignment with approved strategies, OEM recommendations, and operational learnings. Continuously enhance plan effectiveness by integrating FMEA updates, new equipment data, and feedback from execution, while supporting maintenance readiness during commissioning activities.
• Act as the primary liaison for site planning teams regarding job plan development and CMMS configuration. Collaborate with Supply Chain and Procurement to ensure accurate BOMs and material availability, engage OEMs for technical expertise, and partner with Reliability Engineering to prioritize updates following significant equipment failures.
• Perform other duties as required.
