PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

The Maintenance Planner is responsible for ensuring that all preventive and corrective maintenance activities are planned, scheduled, and executed effectively to support equipment reliability and asset care strategies. This role plays a critical function in maintaining data accuracy in CMMS, supporting Heineken Asset Care System (HACS) initiatives, and optimizing resource utilization across daily operations, PM days, and plant shutdowns.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Safety & Quality

• Ensure all maintenance plans and tasks are aligned with SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment) policies.
• Include risk assessments, LOTO, and work permit requirements in all plans.
• Promote a safety-first mindset across planning and execution teams.
• Ensure tasks support quality compliance and reduce risks of equipment-related quality issues.

Maintenance Planning & Scheduling

• Develop and manage daily, weekly, and monthly preventive maintenance schedules for mechanical and electrical systems.
• Coordinate with technicians and production teams to ensure timely execution with minimal disruption to operations.
• Plan and prepare job packages (task list, tools, spare parts, safety precautions) for scheduled work.

PM Day Planning & Reporting

• Prepare detailed PM Day plans, including manpower, task lists, materials, and coordination with operations.
• Monitor execution progress on PM days and generate reports on task completion, issues found, and follow-up actions.
• Analyze performance of PM Day activities to propose improvements.

CMMS System & Data Management

• Create, assign, and close work orders in Maximo system, ensuring accuracy in task description, labor hours, parts usage, and failure reporting.
• Maintain and update asset and maintenance history records regularly.
• Monitor backlog and overdue tasks and follow up with technicians or team leads to resolve.
• Maintain high CMMS data quality by gatekeeping Service Requests (SR) in CMMS, ensuring correct asset tagging, task categorization, and data consistency before work order generation.

Shutdown Planning & Execution

• Lead shutdown maintenance planning, including activity scope, task sequencing, resource allocation, and critical path identification.
• Coordinate across departments to align on scope, safety measures, and timelines.
• Track shutdown progress and provide post-shutdown reporting and analysis.

Spare Parts & Inventory Coordination

• Collaborate with engineering stores to ensure availability of critical spares before PM or shutdown work.
• Forecast spare part usage and raise requests based on planning requirements.

HACS Support & Data Improvement

• Support HACS (Heineken Asset Care System) data update initiatives, including task standardization, asset verification, and BOM (Bill of Materials) improvements.
• Review and update maintenance master data and PM checklists based on performance feedback.
• Work closely with reliability engineers to align HACS with actual field practice.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Generate weekly and monthly maintenance performance reports (OTIF, backlog, MTTR, etc.).
• Analyze breakdown trends and maintenance KPIs to suggest improvement actions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives such as RCA, Kaizen, and TPM activities.

Organization & People Management

• Provide support and guidance to technicians and team leaders in executing planned maintenance effectively.
• Coordinate technician assignments during PM days and shutdowns.
• Work collaboratively with production, stores, and engineering to resolve planning-related issues.

Continuous Improvement

• Analyze maintenance data and trends to recommend changes in frequency, scope, or methods of maintenance tasks.
• Participate in Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and cross-functional problem-solving sessions for repeated or high-impact failures.
• Propose improvements to PM plans, checklists, spare parts strategies, and job plans based on field feedback and equipment history.
• Support TPM and HACS initiatives through data-driven planning and coordination.
• Contribute to APM initiatives by supporting equipment criticality assessments, performance reviews, and reliability improvement actions.
• Provide insights from CMMS data and field reports to help improve asset lifecycle strategies and reduce overall maintenance cost.
• Perform additional duties commensurate with the current role, as and when requested by management

• Must have a degree in BE/B.Tech (Mechanical/Electrical/Mechatronic)
• Minimum 2–3 years in maintenance planning or technician coordination roles in a manufacturing or brewery environment.
• Hands-on experience in CMMS (preferably Maximo), including work order management and master data handling.
• Familiarity with maintenance KPIs such as OTIF, MTBF, MTTR, and backlog.
• Experience with preventive maintenance planning, shutdown planning, and asset care strategy.
• Exposure to HACS or structured asset care models is a strong advantage.
• Able to communicate in both English and Local Language.
