Maintenance Operations Planner, Driveline Manufacturing

Our mission

Keep world‑class driveline manufacturing running smoothly. At Dauch—recognized globally for conventional, all‑wheel, and electrified drive systems used by more than 90% of the world’s automakers—you’ll turn data and discipline into uptime and reliability.

Your impact

From the first week, you’ll immerse yourself in plant rhythms: mapping preventive work, sequencing overhauls, and ensuring statutory inspections are locked in. By partnering with production, engineering, and HSE, you’ll balance cost, time, and quality so assets perform when they’re needed most.

• Plan with purpose: Build and maintain schedules for routine maintenance, overhauls, and required inspections; assign resources and monitor execution to match plant goals.
• Improve with evidence: Assess maintenance returns and metrics; capture out‑of‑cycle activities; maintain precise equipment histories; translate data into better planning decisions.
• Document and comply: Enforce maintenance procedures and regulatory expectations; curate files, correspondence, and key records; deliver concise visual reports for stakeholders.
• Be there when it counts: Support troubleshooting and emergency repairs; assist preventive tasks; track multi‑use components (motors, pumps, etc.) with accurate tagging and histories; contribute to projects by executing assigned tasks per established procedures.
• Connect the dots: Resolve complex internal customer questions about maintenance policies/processes; keep internal communication channels current; collaborate cross‑functionally to raise asset reliability.
• Lead with safety: Follow Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols; identify risks and escalate unsafe conditions; stay abreast of industry standards and technology.
