Job Description
Maintenance Planning
- Build and maintain detailed work order packages for all preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance activities — including job steps, labor estimates, parts list, tools, permits, safety requirements, and equipment isolation requirements.
- Ensure all work orders are planned to a level where the maintenance technician can execute without further investigation, parts hunting, or rework.
- Plan corrective work orders against criticality, operational impact, and resource availability.
- Develop and maintain equipment-specific preventive maintenance programm — frequency, scope, and content — informed by manufacturer recommendations, operational context, and failure history.
Maintenance Scheduling
- Build the weekly maintenance schedule in close coordination with Operations Section Heads, balancing planned maintenance against vessel schedules, operational throughput, and equipment availability windows.
- Track and report weekly schedule attainment against target (industry benchmark: 85%+ schedule attainment).
- Manage the maintenance backlog — sized, aged, prioritized, and trended weekly — preventing both backlog growth and reactive firefighting.
- Coordinate daily T-card or stand-up meetings between operations, maintenance execution, and stores.
Shutdown & Turnaround Planning
- Plan and coordinate equipment shutdowns and major turnarounds — scope definition, critical path scheduling, resource loading, contractor coordination, and risk assessment.
- Develop the shutdown work plan, sequence, and timeline; manage the shutdown work execution tracking; lead the post-shutdown review and lessons learned.
- Identify and plan opportunistic maintenance work to be executed during shutdown windows.
CMMS Ownership
- Act as the primary owner and power user of the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) — SAP PM, IBM Maximo, AMOS, ERPplus Maintenance Module, or equivalent.
- Maintain CMMS data integrity — equipment master, BOM, PM strategy, work order history, and failure codes.
- Generate maintenance KPI reports — schedule attainment, PM compliance, MTBF, MTTR, backlog, planned vs. emergency work ratio — for the Maintenance Manager and terminal leadership.
Spare Parts Coordination
- Coordinate with Stores to align spare parts and consumables with the maintenance plan; ensure critical spares are identified, stocked, and protected from operational depletion.
- Drive the critical spare parts list review and update process in coordination with Maintenance Engineers.
- Trigger procurement of long-lead-time parts in advance of planned maintenance windows.
- Reliability & Continuous Improvement
- Analyze equipment failure history and trends to identify chronic problems, recurring failures, and opportunities for PM optimization.
- Support Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) reviews and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for critical assets.
- Recommend changes to PM strategy, frequency, or content based on data and reliability analysis.
Documentation & Compliance
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation of all maintenance plans, schedules, work orders, and shutdown records.
- Ensure all planned work integrates safety requirements — permits, risk assessments, isolation requirements, and PPE.
- Support compliance with ISO 55001 (asset management), ISO 9001 (quality), and ISO 45001 (HSE) requirements as applicable to the maintenance function
Job Requirements
- At least 2–3 years in a dedicated Maintenance Planner role required. Candidates without a dedicated planning role in their CV should not apply.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Industrial, or related) from a recognized university
