Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a leading manufacturer to recruit a Maintenance Planner for their site in Selby.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mechanically or electrically biased engineer looking to move away from a hands-on maintenance role into a structured, desk-based engineering planning position.

The successful Maintenance Planner will take ownership of maintenance planning, CMMS control, engineering data accuracy and contractor scheduling to help improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime across the site.

Benefits of the Maintenance Planner role:

• Company pension

• Help roll out structured criticality-based maintenance strategies
• Produce downtime, compliance and engineering KPI reports
• Analyse recurring equipment issues to support continuous improvement projects
• Ensure contractor work schedules and service agreements support business demand
• Train and support engineers on correct CMMS usage and system discipline

This Maintenance Planner position is a key role within the engineering function and will suit someone who understands how poor planning can quickly lead to lost production time, rising maintenance costs and avoidable breakdowns.

The successful candidate will need:

• Mechanical or electrical engineering maintenance background
• Previous experience in a Maintenance Planner, Engineering Planner, Engineering Co-Ordinator or similar role
• Experience working within similar manufacturing, FMCG or another process-led environment
• Strong working knowledge of CMMS systems

• Strong IT skills including Excel, Word and reporting tools
• Ability to generate maintenance reports, KPI data and equipment performance analysis
