The Reliability and Maintenance Planner is responsible for ensuring the efficient and effective planning and scheduling of maintenance activities to maximise equipment reliability and minimise downtown.

What we will achieve together
- Maintenance Planning: Develop and maintain a comprehensive maintenance plan by analysing equipment data, historical maintenance records, and industry best practices. Identify critical equipment and establish appropriate maintenance intervals and procedures to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Undertake preventative maintenance activities on mechanical or electrical instruments and/or equipment.
- Work Order Management: Receive and review work requests, prioritize tasks, and create detailed work orders. Collaborate with maintenance technicians, operations teams, and external vendors to coordinate and schedule maintenance activities, ensuring all necessary resources and materials are available. Keep records relating to spare parts stocks and engineering consumables.
- Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program: Develop and manage a preventive maintenance program to proactively address potential equipment failures. Establish PM schedules, procedures, and checklists to ensure regular inspections, lubrication, calibration, and other preventive maintenance tasks are performed in a timely manner. Perform work to the relevant standards and codes where applicable.
- Spare Parts Management: Collaborate with procurement and stores to maintain an accurate inventory of critical spare parts. Ensure parts availability for planned maintenance activities and establish reorder points to prevent stockouts. Monitor and identify obsolete items, and recommend adjustments to optimize coverage.
- Reliability Analysis: Utilize reliability engineering techniques, such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and root cause analysis (RCA), to identify recurring equipment failures and develop strategies for improvement. Analyse equipment performance data to identify trends, patterns, and opportunities for reliability enhancement. Other reasonable and relevant tasks completed as required from time to time.
- Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of maintenance activities, including work orders, equipment histories, and maintenance schedules. Generate and interpret reports on maintenance performance, equipment reliability, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress and communicate with stakeholders.
- Continuous Improvement: Actively participate in cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement initiatives related to maintenance processes, procedures, and systems. Propose and implement innovative ideas to enhance equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall operational efficiency.

What makes you stand out
- Bachelor's degree in engineering or trade certification in mechanical or electrical is essential.
- Competent in maintenance management and planning.
- In depth experience with industrial process equipment.
- Previous work experience in Manufacturing and Food Processing would be advantages.
