Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your maintenance planning and coordination expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside a dedicated and collaborative team of professionals.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation and reliability of our facilities and infrastructure.

We’ll look to you for:

• Maintaining facilities maintenance plans and schedules for agreed assets.
• Coordinating planned, corrective, and shutdown maintenance activities in consultation with the Facilities Manager.
• Ensuring the accuracy of CMMS records, work orders, asset history, and maintenance backlog information.
• Preparing and issuing weekly and monthly maintenance schedules and progress updates.
• Confirming the availability of labour, tools, permits, contractors, and spare parts before planned work starts.
• Tracking maintenance KPIs and providing information for review by the Facilities Manager.
• Supporting root cause analysis and reliability improvement activities.
• Coordinating contractor access and readiness in line with site safety requirements.
• Providing input to maintenance budget forecasts, purchase requisitions, and cost tracking.
