Turnaround Planner

We are seeking a Turnaround Planner to support the planning, coordination, and execution readiness of shutdowns, outages, turnarounds, and other major maintenance events within a heavy industrial operation. This individual will lead long-range planning activities for complex maintenance scopes, ensuring work is appropriately defined, resourced, sequenced, and ready for safe execution. This role is focused on major maintenance events and extended-lead planning activities rather than routine daily maintenance scheduling.

Assist with scope development, work-list review and cleanup, work-order setup, and planning-readiness activities. Build and organize job packages that address labor, materials, contractor requirements, tools, permits, equipment access, and execution considerations. Coordinate planning inputs across maintenance, operations, engineering, warehouse, supply chain, contractors, and leadership. Track readiness milestones, action items, risks, open issues, materials status, contractor needs, and planning progress. Participate in turnaround planning meetings, readiness reviews, pre-event coordination, and execution support. Help identify and remove bottlenecks that could affect planning quality, schedule readiness, or event execution. Support planning discipline and standardization for major maintenance work. Assist with post-event closeout, documentation, lessons learned, and improvement opportunities for future events. Track and report metrics related to planning readiness, material availability, action-item completion, and turnaround preparedness. Use the site CMMS to support work-order development, scope definition, work package preparation, and maintenance-event readiness. Qualifications High school diploma or GED required; associate degree or technical certification in industrial maintenance, operations, engineering technology, or a related field preferred.

Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with field personnel, contractors, and leadership. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and related business tools. Familiarity with Maximo or another CMMS platform. Preferred Experience Five or more years of experience in turnaround planning, shutdown coordination, maintenance planning, industrial maintenance, or a related discipline. Experience planning or supporting turnarounds, outages, shutdowns, or major maintenance events in a process manufacturing environment.
