About Jerritt Canyon The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies. Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations. The Opportunity The Process Maintenance Planner is responsible for planning, coordinating, and optimizing maintenance activities for processing plant equipment and associated infrastructure within a mining operation. This role ensures maintenance work is executed safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively to maximize equipment reliability, plant availability, and production performance. Working closely with operations, maintenance supervisors, reliability engineers, procurement, and warehouse personnel, the Process Maintenance Planner develops detailed work plans, schedules resources, coordinates materials and contractor requirements, and supports preventive and predictive maintenance programs. The role promotes safe work practices, compliance with site standards, and continuous improvement across the processing plant. Responsibilities Develop detailed maintenance work plans, job packages, and schedules for planned, preventive, corrective, and shutdown maintenance activities. Prioritize maintenance work based on equipment criticality, operational requirements, safety risks, and production impact. Coordinate weekly and daily maintenance schedules with operations and maintenance teams to minimize production interruptions. Identify resource requirements, including labor, tools, equipment, specialist services, and contractor support. Ensure work orders are properly scoped, estimated, planned, and ready for execution. Plan maintenance activities for processing plant equipment, including crushers, conveyors, feeders, screens, pumps, flotation equipment, thickeners, mills, slurry systems, and other fixed plant assets, as applicable to the operation. Develop job plans that include work instructions, labor estimates, equipment isolation requirements, tooling, spare parts, and technical documentation. Review equipment history, maintenance records, inspection findings, and failure reports to identify recurring issues and improve maintenance plans. Coordinate planned maintenance activities with production teams to optimize equipment availability and minimize downtime. Identify and verify spare parts, consumables, and materials required for scheduled maintenance work. Coordinate with procurement, inventory control, and warehouse teams to ensure materials are available before work is scheduled. Identify long-lead items, repairable components, and critical spares that may affect maintenance execution. Ensure maintenance work packages include accurate material lists, specifications, and equipment documentation. Maintain accurate work orders, job plans, equipment records, maintenance schedules, and material requirements in the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), such as SAP PM, IBM Maximo, or an equivalent platform. Monitor work-order status, backlog, schedule compliance, planned maintenance performance, and work readiness. Prepare maintenance planning reports and provide updates on upcoming work, resource requirements, and schedule constraints. Ensure completed work orders are closed out with accurate labor, material, failure, and equipment history information.
