Maintenance Planner

💰 $35–$40/hour, paid weekly
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: Waterloo, IN
📋 What you'll do
Turn requests into ready-to-go work orders. Review maintenance requests in D365 daily, convert valid ones the same day, or close them out with a clear reason.
Prepare every job before it's scheduled. Assets, instructions, labor hours, parts, tools, safety requirements (lockout, permits, confined space), and downtime needs.
Get the right parts there first. Identify parts by item number, raise purchase requests early, follow up with procurement and the storeroom, and have parts staged before work begins.
Build and run the weekly schedule. Prioritize ready work against available labor, lead the weekly scheduling meeting with maintenance and production, and assign labor with the maintenance supervisor.
Keep work moving. Track jobs in progress, clear roadblocks, and spend time on the floor capturing photos, nameplate data, and lessons learned.
Close the loop. Make sure completed work orders include notes, labor hours, parts used, and downtime, and that follow-up work gets raised.
Build the system. Create job plans, checklists, and PM plans in D365, keep asset records accurate, and maintain equipment documentation and floor plans.
Plan the big events. Scope and plan annual shutdowns months ahead, and prepare the site for contractor work.
Track what matters. Report on schedule compliance, PM compliance, planned vs. reactive work, backlog, and MTBF/MTTR.
Multi-site support: Support planning at other locations remotely when needed, and take part in the monthly planner network to share standards and solutions across sites.
