MAINTENANCE PLANNER
You Keep Every Machine Ready Before It's Needed
Full-Time
ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING
Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Maintenance Planner works hand-in-hand with Brewing and Production leadership to keep every piece of equipment running reliably — before problems happen, not after.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As Octopi scales production for Asahi Super Dry and our contract clients, we need a Maintenance Planner who can turn reactive fixes into proactive planning — keeping our equipment, budgets, and preventative maintenance schedule running like clockwork.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT
• Real ownership over a 3-year preventative maintenance schedule and how our equipment budget gets spent
• A high-visibility role bridging Maintenance, Production, and Brewing leadership
• Lead projects and shape how our maintenance systems run — not just execute tasks
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own and refine our 3-year preventative maintenance schedule, working directly with Brewing Process and Production leadership
• Generate work orders, build out full work packs (permits, parts, instructions), and align PM tasks with OEM recommendations
• Manage spare parts inventory and budget alongside the Maintenance Inventory Coordinator
• Lead root cause analysis on equipment issues and drive continuous improvement across maintenance activities
• Coordinate outside vendors and contracted work, including support during emergency downtime
WHAT YOU BRING
Must-haves:
• 5+ years of general technical or maintenance experience, including prior planning experience (production or services)
• High degree of mechanical aptitude, with the ability to interpret drawings and technical specifications
• Strong organizational, time management, and project leadership skills
• Comfortable working with ERP systems and electronic data
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs, and bend, twist, and turn as needed
Nice-to-haves:
• Bachelor's xzgxqkn degree in mechanical engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience
• Experience using AutoCAD
• Experience in the food or beverage industry
BENEFITS & PERKS
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%
• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)
• A free beer after shift, because you earned it
PAY
• Pay: $90,000–$100,000 annually
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm
Full-time, exempt
Compensation details: 9 Yearly Salary
