Main Function
The Maintenance Readiness Planner operates within the Maintenance Readiness &
Assurance team.
Unlike a routine execution planner, this specialized role bridges the gap between the project EPC phase and the ultimate operational asset lifecycle.
The primary mandate is ensuring that all necessary asset data, preventative maintenance (PM) strategies, vendor documentation, and critical spare parts frameworks are seamlessly loaded into the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM/CMMS) environment well ahead of mechanical completion, plant pre-commissioning, and commercial startup.
The Maintenance Readiness Planner is responsible for developing, coordinating and maintaining maintenance readiness deliverables required to support safe and reliable start-up and operations of the Company Train 7 facilities.
The role provides planning, scheduling, CMMS (SAP S4HANA) data development and maintenance work management support, ensuring that maintenance strategies, work instructions, preventive maintenance plans, bills of materials and resource plans are fully developed and operationally ready prior to handover.
Ensure that work is properly scoped, resourced, scheduled and executed safely and efficiently, while supporting high equipment availability, cost control and compliance with company procedures
Task And Responsibilities
Critical Spares Lifecycle Prep: Support the review of Capital Spare Parts Lists (CSPL) and Operational Spare Parts Lists (OSPL/SPIR). Link required spares to associated asset records and build standard Bills of Materials (BOMs).
Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning Planning: Coordinate dynamic work packages specifically for the pre-commissioning, commissioning, and initial startup sequences of complex systems.
Preservation Management: Create and oversee the asset preservation schedule for heavy rotating machinery, cryogenic valves, and instruments while in storage or sitting idle during the construction-to-turnover tail-end phase.
Technical Data Handover: Extract, compile, and format critical manuals, vendor specifications, and regulatory documentation to populate the centralized digital twin or technical document management platform.
Support the development of short-, medium- and long-term maintenance plans in coordination with CMMS lead, Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Procurement, Warehouse and HSE.
Prepare and update Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, SAP PM/S/4HANA or other approved planning and scheduling systems, as applicable.
Participate in daily and weekly planning meetings and provide clear updates on progress, constraints, priorities and recovery actions.
Track actual work progress, productivity, labour hours, equipment utilisation and schedule deviations.
Maintain accurate planning data (manpower, leave), equipment history, job plans, task lists and work-order information in the CMMS.
Coordinate with Asset CPM (procurement and warehouse) teams to ensure timely availability of materials and services.
Identify schedule risks, bottlenecks and potential delays and develop mitigation or recovery plans.
Ensure all planned work complies with company HSE requirements, approved procedures, statutory requirements, and relevant industry standards.
Analyze planning and maintenance KPIs and recommend improvements to planning effectiveness, equipment reliability, and maintenance delivery.
Promote continuous improvement in work management, planning quality, schedule compliance and maintenance execution.
