Role Purpose This role owns the health of the maintenance work management process at the Raritan CAR-T site: how work is identified, planned, scheduled, executed, documented, and closed. The site operates 24/7 and is scaling manufacturing starts through 2027, which makes asset uptime and slot availability the binding constraints on the business. Weak work management shows up as unplanned downtime, schedule break in, and late PM completion, and each of those consumes manufacturing slots. The successful candidate is a practitioner who has built and run planning and scheduling discipline in a regulated, high-uptime environment, and who is measured on process outcomes rather than transaction volume: schedule compliance, PM compliance, planned work percentage, backlog weeks by craft, break-in rate, and work order documentation quality at first pass. Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities A. Work Execution and Work Order Management (approximately 50%) Own the weekly work management cycle end to end: backlog review, work identification, planning, scheduling, daily execution coordination, and post-week schedule compliance review. Run the scheduling forum with maintenance leadership and production planning. Bring the schedule, the constraints, and the tradeoffs. Drive a committed schedule out of the room, not a wish list. Build and maintain job plans that are executable: scope, task sequence, craft hours, tools, permits, parts and kitting requirements, and GMP documentation requirements. Improve plans based on actual execution feedback. Establish and enforce work order lifecycle standards, including work request intake, priority assignment, planning gates, ready-to-schedule criteria, and closeout requirements. Manage break-in work and emergency work as an exception process with a measured rate, a documented cause, and a feedback loop into planning. Coordinate parts and materials readiness with stores and procurement so scheduled work is not released without kitted parts. Support work execution remediation commitments, including CAPA-driven improvements to maintenance work management procedures, and partner with Legend Biotech maintenance leadership on shared execution processes. B. CMMS Data and Configuration Integrity (approximately 30%) SME support for CAR-T facilities, maintenance operations and quality organizations. Serve as the site subject matter expert for maintenance work management and CMMS process during internal audits, regulatory inspections, and quality investigations. Own asset hierarchy, criticality assignment, and PM program structure in the CMMS. Ensure new and modified assets enter the system with correct hierarchy, criticality, PM coverage, job plans, and spare parts linkage before GMP release. Define and audit CMMS data standards. Run periodic data quality reviews against those standards and drive correction at the source rather than by mass cleanup. Own the work order documentation quality process: define GDP expectations for maintenance records, review for compliance, trend first-pass quality, and close gaps through technician coaching and job plan improvement rather than end-of-line correction. Build and deliver training on work management process and CMMS use for planners, technicians, and engineers. Maintain the training material as process changes. Partner with Project Engineering and Commissioning & Qualification on asset turnover, so capital and modification projects hand over assets that are CMMS-complete and maintenance-ready at GMP release. Support the CMMS platform migration from Maximo to SAP S4HANA: data readiness, job plan and PM library conversion, master data mapping, and process re-design in the target system. C. Reporting, Metrics and Continuous Improvement (approximately 20%) Own the work management metric set and its definitions. Publish on a fixed cadence with interpretation and recommended action, not raw output. Analyze execution data to identify bad actors, recurring failures, and planning defects, and route findings into the reliability engineering RCA and FMEA processes. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a technical discipline preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered in place of a degree. Knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) is required. Direct experience working under GMP in a regulated manufacturing environment, including audit and inspection support, is required. Minimum 7 years in CMMS operations, work order management, or maintenance planning and scheduling within a regulated manufacturing environment, including at least 4 years in a dedicated work management, planning, or scheduling role. Demonstrated hands-on ownership of a CMMS as a practitioner, not an end user. including work order type and status configuration, priority schemes, job plan and PM library structure, asset hierarchy, and report or query building. IBM Maximo strongly preferred; SAP PM and/or Blue Mountain RAM acceptable. Demonstrated ownership of the work order lifecycle end to end: request intake and screening, priority and work type assignment, planning gates, ready-to-schedule criteria, execution status discipline, and closeout including GDP documentation review. Job plan authorship: writing and improving executable job plans covering task sequence, craft hours, tools, permits, parts and kitting requirements, and documentation requirements. Fluency in work management metrics and their definitions: schedule compliance, PM compliance, planned versus reactive work, wrench time, backlog weeks, break-in rate. Preferred Qualifications Cell therapy, biologics, sterile fill, or aseptic manufacturing experience. Reliability engineering competency: root cause analysis, FMEA, criticality assessment, PM optimization, and maintenance strategy development CMMS data governance experience: defining master data standards, auditing against them, and correcting at the source Experience through a CMMS migration Experience standing up a work management process where none existed or remediating one following an audit or CAPA finding. Experience running a scheduling cadence in an operation with production constraints on asset access.
