About the role
Maintenance PlanningBuild 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 PlanningPlan 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 OwnershipAct 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 ImprovementAnalyze 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 & ComplianceMaintain 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
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
