Asset Reliability Planner (CMMS/PM)

At Stryten Energy’s Milwaukee, WI injection molding and terminal facility, we manufacture plastic components for automotive batteries for a stable, expanding customer base. We’re seeking a self-starting Asset Reliability Planner to elevate maintenance planning, improve equipment uptime, and sustain data quality in our CMMSwhile partnering closely with Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering.

Morning standups align cross-functional teams on a ready-to-execute weekly plan. You validate job plans on the floor, confirm parts and tools, and ensure safety requirements and procedures are in place. Midday, you analyze downtime and work order history to spot repeat failures and coordinate permanent corrective actions. In the afternoon, you finalize next week’s schedule, update CMMS data (equipment profiles, BOMs, PM/PdM routes), and publish KPI dashboards on PM and schedule compliance.

• Plan and sequence skilled maintenance labor for PM/PdM, planned repairs, shutdowns, and safety-critical work. Note: the Maintenance Supervisor directs and manages maintenance personnel.
• Use the CMMS to manage PM planning and scheduling, MRO and work orders, and preventive/predictive activities; ensure data quality across equipment records, BOMs, job plans, labor estimates, required parts, and work history.
• Build, prioritize, and maintain the maintenance backlog by Safety, Quality, Delivery/Production, and Cost impact, factoring in backlog age and work readiness.
• Develop the weekly maintenance schedule with Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering; confirm work packages are fully prepared before scheduling.
• Define comprehensive work scopes including labor, parts, tools, drawings/procedures, safety/lockout needs, contractor support (as needed), and time estimates.
• Establish and maintain critical spares lists, equipment BOMs, and min/max levels; surface availability risks before they affect production.
• Review downtime and work order trends to identify recurring failures; collaborate with Maintenance and Engineering on corrective and preventive measures, including continuous improvement, quick-change modular setups, and setup time reduction.
• Ensure significant work orders are closed with failure/cause codes, corrective action, labor hours, parts usage, and downtime to enable reliability analysis.
• Track, analyze, and report KPIs: PM compliance, schedule compliance, planned vs. unplanned work, backlog age, repeat failures, and critical spare availability.
• Support budget objectives by increasing planned work, optimizing MRO usage, and driving cost-reduction opportunities.
• Perform hands-on field verification to keep job plans, PM procedures, parts, and work instructions aligned with equipment conditions.
• Author PM procedures in the CMMS; schedule PM and planned work and produce timely status/report-outs.
• Complete additional assignments as needed (including 5S cleaning), attend scheduled meetings and training, comply with Quality Systems, applicable codes, and plant safety, health, and personnel policies.

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field preferred; equivalent experience in maintenance planning, reliability, or CMMS administration considered.
• At least 3 years of experience in industrial maintenance planning, maintenance operations, reliability, or mechanical/electrical maintenance (or a combination of education and experience).

• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; experience with maintenance management software/CMMS.
• Solid grasp of maintenance principles, practices, and procedures; strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Self-starter with excellent organization, communication, and multi-tasking; collaborative and team-oriented.

• Role is fully on site at our Milwaukee, WI facility.
• Occasional standing, sitting, walking, bending, and twisting.
• Comfort working safely around operating machinery to inspect conditions and verify PM effectiveness.
• Exposure to hot, cold, and humid conditions.
• Occasional lifting from very small items up to 50 lbs.

• Greater than 10% travel may be required.
