Canfor is seeking a motivated and experienced Maintenance Planner to join our Intercontinental Pulpmill team. In this key role, you will leverage your knowledge of pulp mill processes, equipment, and mechanical trades to plan, schedule, coordinate, and monitor all aspects of regular and project maintenance activities. Safety is our top priority, and you will coordinate with multi-trade crews to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations.

A Day in the life of a Maintenance Planner includes:

  • Plan, schedule, and coordinate maintenance activities to maximize asset reliability and operability.
  • Use maintenance management systems to coordinate work orders and manage the maintenance backlog.
  • Organize and facilitate Planning, Scheduling & Optimization (PS&O) meetings.
  • Create and maintain work packages, area outage schedules, and ensure preventive maintenance is prioritized.
  • Act as Repair Coordinator for your area and support all maintenance processes, including shutdowns, break-in work, and emergencies.
  • Promote a safe and positive working environment, ensuring safety and cost performance objectives are consistently met or exceeded.
  • Provide leadership, guidance, and open communication for all employees under your direction.
  • Collaborate closely with the Operations Maintenance Coordinator (OMC), Maintenance Supervisor, and area specialists.
  • Facilitate daily and weekly meetings, backlog reviews, and outage planning.
  • Maintain clear communication with operations, engineering, purchasing, and reliability teams.
  • Participate in and lead continuous improvement initiatives (5S, root cause analysis, work standardization).
  • Ensure compliance with safety, housekeeping, and collective bargaining agreements.
  • Track and report on key performance indicators (e.g., schedule loading, PM/CM %, cost, labour, materials, backlog accuracy).

For this role, you'll come equipped with:

  • Post-secondary education in a technical field or trade qualification (welding/pipefitting preferred).
  • 3–5 years of maintenance planning and scheduling experience, ideally in a pulp mill or similar industrial environment.
  • Supervisory experience with strong planning, organizational, and computer skills.
  • Excellent communication and leadership abilities.
  • Flexible and adaptable to changing priorities.
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety and continuous improvement.

You also have a knack for meeting short term maintenance goals along with keeping the longer range challenges in focus.

The salary range for this position is: $90,300.00-$129,000.00

Please Note: The range provided is for base salary only. In addition to base salary, Canfor proudly offers its employees a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package.
