Omega is recruiting for a newly created Maintenance Planner & Engineering Stores opportunity within a well-established, market-leading process manufacturing business, currently undergoing significant investment and transformation.

Instead, you'll have the opportunity to own the journey from engineering stores organisation through to maintenance planning, helping create structure, visibility and control across the engineering department whilst playing a key role in a major site transformation programme culminating in the launch of a new CMMS, warehouse management system and SCADA platform.

If you enjoy improving systems, creating order from chaos and influencing positive change, this could be the ideal challenge.

The Opportunity - Engineering Maintenance Planner & Stores Lead

Working alongside and reporting to the Engineering Manager, you'll become the focal point for engineering planning, stores management, contractor coordination and CMMS development.

The site is currently at the start of its maintenance planning journey, with a significant opportunity to introduce best practice, improve work scheduling, increase planned maintenance activity and develop a world-class engineering stores function. You'll be joining at an exciting time with ££multi- million of site investment planned and major upgrades scheduled across operations.
