What s the role
As a Maintenance Planner (Mechanical [Static/Rotary/Turnaround] and Electrical) , you are responsible for end-to-end planning of preventive and corrective maintenance for rotary, static and electrical equipment using SAP Plant Maintenance. You develop detailed work packs based on technical documentation and site conditions, plan resources and materials, prioritize tasks, assess risks, and coordinate with cross-functional teams. The role supports remote assets, ensures compliance with Shell standards, and uses tools like Primavera for scheduling complex, multi-disciplinary scopes.
What you ll be doing
- Primary responsibility in preparing work plan/packs for daily, weekly, monthly routine planning in SAP PM Module for Rotary, Static equipment s
- Responsible for preparing/developing routine work plan with comprehensive work packs from overhaul reports, maintenance reports, general task list, equipment specific task lists, spare part list, equipment drawings, circuit diagrams, PIDs, operation and maintenance manuals of OEMs , Asset best practices , technical implementation letter (TIL) etc., for rotary equipment like pumps, compressors, turbines etc., and static equipment like columns, safety valves, PRV s/PSV s, pressure vessels, heat exchangers etc. as per Shell Standards
- Prepare Initial response, carry out assessment, ensure correct prioritization of work, troubleshoot propose technical solutions virtually, co-ordinate discussion with stakeholders, conduct Risk Assessment, ensure good QA/QC, record keeping, final job closure to enable high equipment reliability plant technical availability.
- Building library work packs include detailed description of the tasks that need to be performed for time condition-based maintenance, breakdown maintenance, ordering parts required, service or tools required, estimating time required, Estimating cost of work order, network mapping and quality check points for minimum assurance tasks.
- Plan RCM-mandated preventive (MX01, MX09) and corrective (MX04) maintenance for rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and air fans.
- Identify required materials and services, raise purchase requisitions/reservations, and coordinate with contractors for execution. Review s scope and workorders on completeness and schedule do ability, returns workorder to gatekeeper (OMC) if not complete,
- Identifies safety precautions necessary to safely perform tasks, Initiates Management of Change (MOC) process if required, Orders materials and services in GSAP. Process invoices in Track, UWL including financial close out
- Participate and comply with all safety programs. Assist with the continuous improvement and implementation of standardized work processes for effective maintenance planning. Stay current with mandatory training.
- Routine Planner should determine (in consultation with maintenance/operations) what is required in terms of resources, tools, etc.) and build the workpack /routine plan accordingly.
- The Routine plans/ workpacks are multi-disciplinary (E/I, Mechanical, scaffolding etc.); The planner will have basic multi-disciplinary knowledge; for detailed knowledge he/she should work together with colleagues from operations and maintenance.
- Job hazard assessment, setting out risks anticipated required while performing tasks and creating Permit to work.
- Planning of end-to-end work orders to enable efficient scheduling and ensure compliance of executable work orders. First level diagnosis of damage history, determining the failure mode based on anomaly reports and information given in corrective maintenance work request/ notification.
- Improving productivity by ensuring the resource, special tool, material, and service requirements availability before the job begins. Customize the equipment make and model specific work packs into site specific workpack by adding site conditions and parameters.
- Constantly engage with site maintenance leads, original equipment manufacturers, vendors and modify the workpacks as recommended/required by the site maintenance personnel.
- Anticipate plan for mandatory spares, tools and tackles and manpower required for the heavy-duty equipment based on the information extracted from maintenance manuals, collate any additional information about equipment its spares, if required from the vendors and accommodate the information in the workpack.
- Understanding the functions of the various equipment and instruments and thorough knowledge of reading/ interpreting the engineering drawings (PIDs, PEFS, PFDs).
- Shall be able to demonstrate the capabilities of supporting remote assets with their routine maintenance planning. Develop work planning through SAP with clear understanding of all required information and documentation to execute a job in the field.
- Sound knowledge on work prioritization, production critical threats, safety systems management and statutory compliances.
- The candidate should have worked in the capacity of and now be able to work closely with Engineering, Supply Chain, Scheduling to develop a plan for executing the work on field. This also involves coordination knowledge with Electrical, Instrumentation and Service Support Teams and basic idea about their work planning mechanism
- Understand the concept of work clustering for complex multi-discipline scopes using scheduling tools like Primavera to be able to optimize timeline for a shutdown or campaign.
