Maintenance Planner aka Tetris Champion Wanted - Now Accepting Applications in Real Life!
Were you the type of kid who could spin and drop a perfect Tetris block under pressure? Did lining everything up just right bring you satisfaction no joystick could contain?
If you've been unknowingly training your whole life for a role where precision, planning, and problem-solving meet head-on… your next level is here.
We’re looking for a Maintenance Planner who thrives on order, thinks five moves ahead, believes every piece (or part) has a place, and has the technical skills and abilities to support as well . At Dieffenbach’s Snacks, our Maintenance team is the heart of our operation, and we need a player who can keep the beat going strong.
What You’ll Be Doing (a.k.a. Your Mission):
Work closely with the Maintenance Manager to plan and schedule repairs and preventive maintenance like a pro-level strategist.
Build weekly maintenance schedules that actually work and keep the team in sync.
Plan for equipment shutdowns like you're defusing a time bomb... with calm, cool confidence.
Track downtime, parts, and performance using systems like QuickBase and Excel (don’t worry, no cheat codes required).
Coordinate parts orders, verify shipments, and keep our inventory system tighter than your Tetris high score.
Keep the parts room so organized it makes Marie Kondo weep with joy.
Jump in to support the team as needed, because we’re all in this game together.
What You’ll Need to Bring to the Console:
High school diploma or equivalent (bonus points if you’re inventory/project planning software fluent)
Maintenance planning or inventory experience (food manufacturing is a win!)
Microsoft Office skills, especially Excel (our love language is conditional formatting)
A detail-oriented brain and a self-starter mindset
Industrial Maintenance Technician experience/training is a strong plus.
A commitment to workplace safety (because game over isn’t an option here)
Physical + Mental Requirements (We keep it real):
This role is as much brain as it is body. You’ll be walking, talking, standing, organizing, and solving like a legend. Lifting up to 50 lbs occasionally. Reasoning, remembering, and collaborating continuously. If you like your workday with variety and purpose, you’ll thrive here.
