Maintenance Systems and Inventory Specialist

 

The Role

 

The Maintenance Systems & Inventory Specialist plays a key role in managing the company-wide Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), standardizing inventory practices, and supporting site-level maintenance operations across cultivation and manufacturing facilities. This position ensures consistency and accuracy in preventive maintenance, work order tracking, and parts inventory while also supporting project tracking and purchasing coordination. This role may require increased travel during the initial ramp-up period as systems are standardized, and site-level training and auditing are performed. As the company continues to grow, this role may evolve to include additional administrative and system-based responsibilities at the corporate level.

 

Essential functions:

 

CMMS Oversight:

· Administer and support the CMMS platform across all company facilities (e.g., eMaint).

· Audit CMMS usage at the site level to ensure consistent data entry, PM scheduling, and asset management.

· Work with site maintenance teams to standardize workflows and system configurations.

· Provide training, documentation, and ongoing support to maintenance personnel on CMMS best practices.

Inventory Control & Purchasing Support:

· Oversee and maintain accurate parts inventory data within the CMMS across all locations.

· Audit physical inventory and reconcile discrepancies between stock and system records.

· Establish and monitor reorder points and coordinate with procurement when restocking is needed.

· Collaborate with site teams and purchasing to ensure critical spare parts are available when needed.

Documentation & Reporting:

· Develop and maintain SOPs, work instructions, and user guides related to CMMS usage and inventory processes.

· Generate regular reports on preventive maintenance compliance, parts usage, inventory levels, and downtime trends.

· Assist in maintaining audit-ready documentation for regulatory compliance and internal quality standards.

Project Coordination Support:

· Stay current on site-level maintenance-led projects and track progress, milestones, and deliverables.

· Act as a liaison between corporate leadership and site teams to ensure clear communication and alignment.

· Support project documentation, material coordination, and data entry as needed in the CMMS.

· Support the development of new administrative processes, tools, and reporting mechanisms as corporate maintenance operations mature.

· Be adaptable to take on additional duties related to systems administration, compliance tracking, or data consolidation as directed by corporate leadership.

Travel & Site Support:

· Travel to cultivation and manufacturing facilities to conduct audits, deliver training, and support implementations (approx. 25–40%, with potential for more frequent travel during onboarding or project rollout periods).

· Participate in on-site reviews of maintenance and inventory practices to identify gaps and improvement opportunities.
