About the Role

We're looking for a Maintenance Planner to keep our facilities and production line equipment running. You'll plan preventive maintenance, schedule repairs, track parts, and make sure the right technician has the right job at the right time. This role resides within the maintenance/facilities team — if a line goes down, or output stops, your planning is what keeps things moving.

What You’ll Do

Build and maintain preventive maintenance schedules for facilities systems (HVAC, electrical, building infrastructure) and production line equipment

Turn maintenance requests into work orders — prioritize by urgency, safety, and impact on production
Track parts and spares inventory for production equipment, and order what's needed before it runs out
Coordinate with technicians, vendors, and outside contractors to schedule work around production schedules with minimal downtime
Maintain accurate records in the CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) work orders, asset history, downtime
Track maintenance costs and flag equipment that's costing more to fix than replace
Run weekly planning meetings with maintenance and production leads to review backlog and upcoming work

What You’ll Bring

3+ years in maintenance planning or scheduling, ideally in a manufacturing or production environment
Experience with a CMMS (MaintainX, Maximo, SAP, or similar)
Comfortable reading equipment manuals and basic mechanical/electrical schematics
Strong organizational skills; juggling many work orders and know which one matters most today
Clear communicator; you'll be the point of contact between technicians, vendors, and production leaders
Equipment spare parts BOM experience
Spare parts crib management knowledge

About the Team

The Facilities and Maintenance team is responsible for keeping Base Factory 1 running safely, reliably, and efficiently every hour of every shift. As Base scales production of home battery systems, this team builds the maintenance programs, reliability systems, and facility infrastructure that prevent downtime before it happens and enable manufacturing to meet growing customer demand. You'll have the opportunity to establish the foundation for a world-class maintenance organization—from preventive maintenance and spare parts strategy to equipment reliability and facility operations—rather than inheriting legacy systems. If you're excited by the challenge of building systems from the ground up, solving complex operational problems, and seeing the direct impact of your work on production output, quality, and company growth, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a rapidly scaling factory.
