  • Analyze and manipulate large data sets from Maximo and spreadsheets to support inventory and maintenance decisions

  • Help establish minimum and maximum inventory levels for spare parts using historical usage and technician input

  • Assist with developing maintenance dashboards and performance metrics (e.g., maintenance KPIs)

  • Support spare parts organization by helping design layouts for warehouse and point-of-use storage areas

  • Draft and document standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to maintenance and inventory processes

  • Participate in hands-on field activities alongside Maintenance Technicians, including documentation and organization support

  • Assist with improvement projects such as process mapping, plant layout updates, data analysis, and operational problem-solving

  • Conduct observations and time studies as needed to support engineered standards and efficiency improvements

What We're Looking For

 

  • Currently enrolled Junior or Senior pursuing a degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience

  • Strong ability to work with and analyze large data sets using spreadsheets and systems

  • Comfort learning and using enterprise software tools, with interest in CMMS systems

  • Ability to collaborate with technicians, engineers, and cross-functional partners

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

  • A problem-solving mindset with curiosity and willingness to learn in a hands-on manufacturing environment

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with CMMS systems such as IBM Maximo or SAP

  • Exposure to 2D/3D CAD tools, MiniTab, or quality tools (e.g., problem-solving methods, PFMEA)

  • Experience building dashboards or extracting data using tools such as Power BI

  • Familiarity with line design, process improvement, or statistical analysis
