About Us:
At Nelson-Jameson, we’ve been a trusted partner in the food manufacturing industry since 1947. We provide high-quality products and innovative solutions that help businesses maintain top standards in quality, safety, and compliance. As a family-owned company, we believe in accountability, teamwork, and growth—for our people and the business. We take pride in our close-knit, supportive culture where every team member has a voice and the chance to grow. If you're looking for a rewarding career with a team that works hard and stays optimistic, we’d love to have you join us!
Job Summary:
The Industrial Maintenance Coordinator / Planner Scheduler is responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordinating service and repair work across Nelson-Jameson’s Service & Repair function, which provides maintenance, repair, and preventative services to food, beverage, and dairy manufacturing facilities. This role helps ensure service work is properly planned, parts and materials are identified and available, technicians are scheduled appropriately, and work orders and service records are accurate and complete.
Unlike a traditional plant-based maintenance role, this position supports service operations across a multi-site customer base. The role works closely with Project Managers, field technicians, customers, vendors, and procurement to coordinate upcoming work, identify parts and equipment needs, maintain preventative maintenance schedules, and manage service information within CMMS and ERP systems.
This position combines maintenance planning and scheduling with strong administrative, systems, and coordination responsibilities. You don't need to have held the title of Planner/Scheduler to be successful in this role. Experience in maintenance administration, CMMS administration, industrial or MRO parts, manufacturing support, service coordination, maintenance planning and scheduling, or a similar environment may all translate well.
We're especially interested in candidates who are familiar with industrial equipment and parts and have the organization, systems skills, and attention to detail needed to keep service work moving. If you can use equipment information and documentation to understand or identify parts and components, maintain accurate information within a system, and coordinate the details needed to get maintenance work completed, we'd encourage you to apply.
Key Responsibilities:
- Service Planning & Scheduling
- Plan and coordinate service, repair, and preventative maintenance work across multiple customer locations.
- Build and maintain detailed work orders, including scope of work, parts and materials, labor needs, timelines, and service documentation.
- Coordinate technician schedules, service timelines, parts availability, and customer needs to help ensure work is ready for execution.
- Use familiarity with industrial equipment, parts, and maintenance terminology to support accurate work orders, parts identification, and service planning.
- Support the development and maintenance of service and preventative maintenance programs, including service offerings, parts, job plans, and related system information.
- Support Project Managers by keeping upcoming service work organized and moving forward, particularly while they are traveling or working on-site.
- Parts, Equipment & Service Support
- Identify and document industrial parts and components needed for service and repair work.
- Work with technicians, Project Managers, vendors, and procurement to determine parts and material needs and ensure availability before scheduled work.
- Research replacement parts and components using equipment information, manufacturer documentation, service history, part numbers, and other available resources.
- Maintain accurate part numbers, equipment information, service history, and related documentation within CMMS and ERP systems.
- Help ensure planned labor, parts, materials, and other service information are accurately documented to support quoting and invoicing.
- CMMS, Data & Asset Management
- Create and maintain asset hierarchies, equipment locations, preventative maintenance schedules, work orders, and related information within CMMS and ERP systems.
- Maintain accurate service data, including labor, materials, equipment information, service history, and customer interactions.
- Maintain and improve job plans, service templates, workflows, and documentation to drive consistency and efficiency.
- Support reporting and dashboards used to track service activity, upcoming work, and operational needs.
- Help maintain the quality and consistency of data used by Project Managers, technicians, and other Service & Repair team members.
- Service Execution & Continuous Improvement
- Review completed service work to identify opportunities to improve future planning, scheduling, job plans, and documentation.
- Apply lessons learned from completed jobs to improve the accuracy and efficiency of future service work.
- Support quoting and invoicing within ERP systems, including P21 or similar systems, to help ensure planned and completed work aligns with billing.
- Contribute to budget adherence and accurate service reporting.
- Provide occasional on-site support for service work, equipment documentation, or customer audits based on experience and business needs.
