Senior Operations Maintenance Planner

The Senior Operations Maintenance Planner has end‑to‑end accountability for maintenance planning, schedule integrity, and operational readiness for assigned sites or campuses. The role balances preventive maintenance requirements, vendor capacity, site risk posture, and operational constraints to ensure maintenance and drill activities are sequenced and executed safely, consistently, and without undue risk to uptime. The Planner actively challenges inputs, adjusts timing, and escalates risk based on real‑time site conditions—enforcing planning discipline, standardization, and risk‑based prioritization across internal teams and third‑party vendors to identify and support stable, predictable operations.
