About your opportunity

As a Strategic Maintenance Planner at Seqwater, you will be responsible for shaping the way maintenance is planned and executed across a diverse asset base. This role is focused on the development of clear, precise, and standardised strategic and tactical maintenance plans that support and are underpinned by Seqwater's Asset Class Plans, while enabling optimised asset performance, reliability, and lifecycle value.

You will play a key role in translating asset management objectives into actionable maintenance strategies, ensuring that maintenance activities are well-documented, repeatable, and aligned with operational realities.

• Create and maintain maintenance schedules within Seqwater's Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS), ensuring they reflect operational requirements and support consistent execution of maintenance activities.
• Develop operational and maintenance task instructions that are practical, repeatable, and aligned with best practice maintenance methodologies.
• Analyse internal and external factors—including asset performance data, stakeholder feedback, and industry benchmarks—to identify opportunities for improvement and optimisation.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure the timely and effective planning of maintenance activities, particularly for new or modified assets, while considering resource availability and operational constraints.
• Participate in asset register reviews and updates, ensuring asset data is accurate, complete, and supports effective maintenance planning.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across maintenance planning processes, documentation, and systems to enhance reliability, efficiency, and value delivery.
