Overview
The Operations Division is in a transformative state as it invests in technologies, processes and resources to implement asset / lifecycle-based management practices over its major investments in buildings, building systems, automated systems controls and major equipment components.
The Facilities Planner / Scheduler (the Planner) is a key player in this process. He/She will apply outstanding leadership and influencing skills in collaboration with Facilities, Capital Programming, and Engineering colleagues to identify and implement short and long-term facilities plans with respect to capital asset renewal and capital program turnover to facilities, the establishment and management of preventive maintenance programs for critical investments in building systems and ongoing plannable incoming work-orders. Once such programs are developed, the Planner will provide leadership and input pertaining to staffing, resource scheduling and load balancing, service level agreements, asset criticality rules and customer satisfaction measurements.
What You'll Do
Using all applicable data pertaining to asset management systems and processes, the Planner develops monthly and weekly workplans and work-outlooks in collaboration with Facilities Zone Managers. Plannable work includes preventative maintenance, planned maintenance and recurring inspection programs as well as ongoing facilities-based project activities. The Planner ensures that work is planned and deployed such that reasonable service levels are attained, that work is properly prioritized and that resources are deployed in the most effective way possible in accordance with division policies, procedures and safety protocols.
The Planner is a key contributor to CMMS systems development, reporting and enhancements. The Planner determines reporting and accountability KPI’s from which to measure and evaluate facilities performance and plays a leading role in providing a balanced program of ‘checks and balances’ from which to assist Zone Managers in holding facilities services accountable to Division strategies and customer service goals and objectives. The planner also adjusts CMMS systems to reflect current and continuously evolving plans while ensuring upstream and downstream systems (e.g. BIM 360, Maximo) reflect up to date changes and improvements.
He/She collaborates with Business and Technology Support teams to continuously improve usability of CMMS systems to support program goals, regularly reviews preventative tasks and cost data and recommends corrective actions to reduce costs and to maximize effectiveness.
