Responsibilities

• Manage work orders, documentation, and assets within the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)
• Responsible for initial triage of work orders including the identification of scope, validity of the work requested, appropriate level of planning required and assignment of proper codes during work identification, control, and planning phases
• Prepare work packages for all planned maintenance activities incorporating all safety requirements local to the facility and work being performed
• Identify required permits
• Determine the proper sequence of work activities
• Estimate labor hours needed to perform work
• Include estimated costs, including labor, materials, and contract services, for each work order
• Prioritize work orders in that backlog based on maintenance costs, available resources, and asset criticality
• Plan and schedule corrective and preventive maintenance activities by task and priority level, including both long- and short-range planning
• Identify and develop standard work routines and task lists
• Communicate work packages to Maintenance Supervisor via the Weekly Work Schedule
• Manage spare parts and alignment between the maintenance department and stock room
• Coordinate complex equipment/system shutdowns
• Update asset records in the CMMS as required, including entering new equipment, inactivating retired equipment, and labeling equipment in the field with asset tags
• Ensure that all job plans written in the CMMS include detailed instructions with pictures, parts, labor, craft, vendors, regulatory, and safety requirements
• Support reliability activities such as root cause analysis investigations, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and preventive maintenance optimization (PMO), as well as assist in developing and implementing precision and predictive maintenance routines
• Equipment preventative maintenance (PM) task creation and management for continuous improvement and PM optimization
• Supports process of ranking the criticality of the assets under their care, typically using Reliability Centered Maintenance approaches, and for defining the proactive maintenance approaches that are cost-beneficial to the business
• Create risk mitigation strategies for critical assets that can be deployed across the asset portfolio
• Considers impact of costs on recommended action plans for avoiding/correcting problems during the design phase or remedial action for correcting reliability problems on installed equipment; performs root cause failure analysis to help prevent failures
• Facilitates/supports operational event and equipment failure investigations to ensure that the root cause/causal factors have been identified, corrective actions prescribed, and follow-up monitoring conducted as applicable, to determine effectiveness
• Maintain complete and accurate records/plans within computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) related to equipment, specifications data, BOM, failure history, etc.
• Develop and maintain ‘Key Performance Indicators’ of equipment reliability
• Ensure that the appropriate Maintenance and Reliability metrics are in place throughout the site, (planned/unplanned work, planning/scheduling metrics, cost metrics, MTBF, replacement asset value, etc.)
• Ensure equipment history is maintained and analyzed for future trends
• Actively collaborate with Maintenance and Planning groups

Preferred Qualifications

• BS in Engineering (mechanical or electrical preferred)
• Level 1 certifications in thermography, vibration analysis, and ultrasound
• Experience in critical environments (data centers, laboratories, manufacturing)
• Knowledge of various CMMS software applications
• Experience implementing RCM and CbM/PdM methods
• Understanding of building automation and energy management systems
• Experience with root cause analysis and equipment criticality ranking
