About the Opportunity

Our client—a household-name snack producer based in Brisbane—is shifting its maintenance model from reactive to proactive. With multiple high-speed production lines and a clear focus on uptime, reliability and safety, they’re upgrading systems and processes to reduce downtime and extend asset life. This Maintenance Planner role will establish and embed planning frameworks that support operational targets.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you will own the planning function end-to-end. You’ll develop and maintain preventive-maintenance schedules, coordinate work orders, plan shutdowns and liaise with production, stores and trades to align maintenance activities with operational needs. You will also manage data quality in the CMMS and drive maintenance KPI reporting.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, document and maintain short-term work orders and long-term preventive-maintenance schedules
• Facilitate a weekly maintenance-scheduling meeting and issue the upcoming week’s work schedule

• Liaise with stores to manage parts masters, inventory levels and procurement lead times
• Capture and document follow-on tasks as discrete work orders to maintain CMMS data integrity
• Perform ongoing SAP PM data-quality checks and support user adoption
• Track maintenance KPIs—planned-vs-reactive ratio, work-order completion rate and backlog age—and drive corrective actions
• Identify continuous-improvement opportunities, prepare business cases and oversee project implementation
• Ensure all planning activities comply with WH&S and quality standards
