Maintenance Planning & Scheduling Specialist (Manufacturing)

Shape the schedule. Keep the lines running.

Imagine starting your day by opening Megamation, scanning the backlog, and building a clear plan that keeps high‑tech lab equipment humming. You’ll sync with Operations, Technical, and Maintenance teammates in a weekly huddle, slot preventive, predictive, and project work around production, and stage the right parts and people to minimize downtime. When weekend or major shutdowns are on the horizon, you’re the conductor—coordinating contractors, safety prerequisites, work instructions, and estimates so every minute counts.
