- Experience creating training materials and delivering or supporting training related to maintenance work planning, safety processes, or CMMS usage.
- Highly advanced experience developing complete maintenance work packages in a CMMS, including scope definition, task sequencing, craft resource identification, material requirements, and realistic labor duration estimates for moderate to complex work.
- Extensive experience conducting field walkdowns and technical evaluations to verify work scope, identify constraints, confirm materials and tools, and ensure the work plan accurately reflects field conditions.
- Highly advanced ability to perform hazard identification and Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) development, applying Integrated Safety Management (ISM) principles and ensuring appropriate controls, permits, and Lockout/Tagout requirements are incorporated into work packages.
- Extensive experience coordinating with craft, facility managers, engineering, and ES&H organizations to resolve technical issues, clarify scope, and ensure work packages are ready for safe execution and scheduling.
- Broad and extensive skills needed to facilitate highly complex planning discussions, job walks, and technical meetings, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and resolve differing technical perspectives to move work forward.
- Experience mentoring, reviewing, or providing guidance to other planners or technical staff, while demonstrating strong professional judgment, collaboration, and awareness of planning performance metrics and quality standards.
- Ability to independently manage multiple work packages, prioritize competing work requests, and coordinate planning activities with multiple stakeholders.
Qualifications We Desire- Experience utilizing Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) or other Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to develop and manage maintenance work packages.
