Plan work packages including labor estimates, material requirements, special tools, safety precautions, and permit needs. Build and maintain weekly, monthly, and outage maintenance schedules. Coordinate with Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance Supervisors to prioritize work and ensure job readiness. Support day-to-day maintenance activities and emergency work planning. OUTAGE & CAPITAL PROJECT SUPPORT – Plan for major maintenance outages including gas turbine inspections (CI, HGPI, MI), HRSG outages, and steam turbine outages. Develop outage scopes, schedules, and resource plans. Support capital projects such as equipment replacements, plant upgrades, and performance improvements. Track outage and project progress and assist with closeout documentation. Perform QAQC activities. CMMS & SCHEDULING SYSTEMS – Utilize CMMS (e.g., Maximo) to create and manage work orders and job plans, maintain equipment records and bills of materials, track labor, material, cost data, and maintain accurate preventive maintenance programs for combined cycle equipment. Use scheduling software (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) to develop and track maintenance and outage schedules. TECHNICAL & ENGINEERING SUPPORT – Support Operations and Maintenance troubleshooting. Apply mechanical and/or electrical engineering principles to develop efficient and safe maintenance plans. Review drawings, P&IDs, OEM manuals, and procedures to support work execution. Support engineering change implementation and field verification of modifications. Participate in root cause analysis and reliability improvement efforts related to turbines, HRSGs, and auxiliary systems. SAFETY & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE – Integrate safety and environmental requirements into work plans, including Lockout/Tagout, Confined space, Hot work and lifting and rigging. Ensure maintenance activities comply with OSHA regulations, plant safety policies, and applicable codes and standards. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT – Improve planning quality, schedule compliance, and job plan effectiveness. Support preventive and predictive maintenance optimization efforts. Participate in post-outage reviews and lessons learned. Required Skills / Knowledge Mechanical, instrumentation and electrical equipment knowledge is required.
