Maintenance Planner

As a Tesla Maintenance Planner, you will ensure the operational availability of remanufacturing and test equipment by setting up, maintaining, and continuously improving the site's Maintenance Management System — including work order planning, preventive and autonomous maintenance plans, scheduling, compliance audits, and skills & training matrices — guided by the 8 Pillars of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). You will drive the shift from reactive to preventive maintenance, targeting reductions in Unplanned Downtime (UPDT), Mean Time To Repair/Respond (MTTR/R), and improvements in Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), while reducing cost and increasing safety and quality. You will also design KPI dashboards and control systems for real-time maintenance performance visibility, as well as managing inventory, spares, and purchasing processes to enable effective execution across all teams.

• Establish and continuously improve the Maintenance Management System — including work order workflows, preventive and autonomous maintenance programs, scheduling, and compliance audits — while deploying the 8 Pillars of TPM (Autonomous Maintenance, Planned Maintenance, Quality Maintenance, Focused Improvement, Early Equipment Management, Training & Education, Safety/Health/Environment, and Administrative TPM)
• Coordinate and plan maintenance activities across organizational boundaries — including vendor support, resource balancing, and equipment availability — and support training programs and operator competency growth aligned with TPM
• Serve as Procurement Lead for the Maintenance Team, managing end-to-end sourcing, ordering, and delivery of tools, materials, and services, including purchase order justification and approval
• Manage the Spare Parts Management System within the CMMS — including inventory strategy, min/max stock levels, reorder points, and vendor lead times — ensuring critical spares availability while streamlining administrative maintenance processes
• Design, maintain and monitor KPI dashboards and control systems tracking UPDT, MTTR/R, MTBF, OEE, PM, safety & compliance, training skill levels, schedule adherence, backlog health, and maintenance cost, with established reporting cadences to drive actionable improvements
• Implement and sustain 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) across maintenance workshops, spare parts areas, and tool storage — establishing visual standards, conducting regular audits, and driving a culture of workplace organization that supports safety, efficiency, and equipment reliability

• Experience within industrial manufacturing in coordination and execution of detailed maintenance job plans
• Experience setting up or improving Maintenance Management Systems, including PM programs and autonomous maintenance, with knowledge of TPM principles and practical experience with one or more of the 8 pillars
• Proficiency with CMMS for work order management, spare parts tracking, and maintenance scheduling, plus common workplace software (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Demonstrated ability to build KPI dashboards and reporting tools tracking maintenance performance metrics (UPDT, MTTR/R, MTBF, OEE, PM compliance, cost) to drive data-informed decisions
• Robust technical background in Electrical, Electronic, and Mechanical systems, including energy isolation, LOTO, and electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic troubleshooting
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure in a fast-paced environment, communicating and collaborating effectively with engineering disciplines, vendors, craft experts, and executives
• Physically able to climb stairs, stand for extended periods, perform frequent bending and lifting, and safely lift up to 25 kg
