• Coordinate spare parts availability with the storeroom and raise reorder points as usage data builds.
• Plan outages and turnarounds, including contractor scope packages.
• Report maintenance metrics covering schedule compliance, wrench time, backlog and preventive maintenance completion.

Required Qualifications

• Five or more years of maintenance planning in a process plant, or maintenance craft experience plus planning training.
• Strong CMMS competence.
• Ability to read drawings and build detailed job plans.
• Organized, systematic working style.

Preferred Qualifications

• Craft background in mechanical or instrumentation maintenance.
• Turnaround planning experience.
