MRO Transformation Specialist - OEM Integration

Summary

The Maintenance Integration Specialist is responsible for ensuring that all new and existing manufacturing equipment meets the company’s maintenance standards at the time of installation and handover. This role acts as the technical liaison between equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Engineering, and Site Maintenance teams to ensure that critical documentation, preventive maintenance plans, spare parts lists, and training materials are delivered, validated, and integrated into the plant’s maintenance systems (SAP, CMMS, etc.). When gaps exist, the Maintenance Integration Specialist develops and standardizes best-practice maintenance procedures, asset structures, and data standards to drive reliability and asset readiness across the network. 

Responsibilities

OEM Deliverables Management 

• Work directly with equipment suppliers to obtain complete maintenance documentation, including: 
  - Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules and checklists 
  - Spare and wear parts lists (OEM + manufacturer part numbers, descriptions, criticality, stocking recommendations) 
  - Equipment manuals, schematics, and lubrication maps 
  - Required training materials and maintenance safety documentation 
• Review OEM submissions for accuracy, completeness, and alignment to company standards. 

Standard Development & Integration 

• Develop and maintain standard templates and expectations for OEM maintenance deliverables (PM format, parts data structure, manual checklist, etc.) 
• Create standardized PMs and BOMs for integration into SAP or other CMMS systems. 
• Define and enforce maintenance data quality standards for new assets (naming, hierarchy, functional locations, planner groups, MRP settings). 
• Support the creation and governance of a Maintenance Master Data Playbook or Pillar Guide for consistent application across lines and plants. 

Asset Onboarding & Handover 

• Lead or support the Maintenance Readiness process during new line installations and equipment commissioning. 
• Verify that all documentation and data required for lifecycle maintenance are complete before handover to operations. 
• Facilitate the transfer of PMs, BOMs, and parts data into SAP with SMEs. 
• Support validation of spare parts and stocking levels. 

Continuous Improvement 

• Identify documentation or PM gaps from legacy or poorly supported OEMs and develop internal standards or plans where missing. 
• Partner with Reliability Engineers to refine PM frequencies and task content based on performance data and apply to OEM standards moving forward. 
 

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Reliability Engineering — or equivalent technical experience. 
• 3–5 years in maintenance, reliability, or engineering roles within CPG, food & beverage, or similar process manufacturing. 
• Strong understanding of preventive maintenance fundamentals, TPM, and equipment reliability concepts. 
• Experience working with OEMs and interpreting equipment documentation (schematics, parts lists, manuals). 
• Hands-on experience with SAP PM (or similar CMMS) for PM, BOM, and material master creation. 
• Excellent communication, organization, and project management skills. 
• Ability to translate complex technical information into standardized, practical maintenance deliverables.
