Senior Maintenance Scheduler

A growing energy operator is seeking a Senior Maintenance Scheduler to join its Planning & Scheduling team at a large, modern facility in Brownsville. This is a hands‑on, high‑visibility role at the center of day‑to‑day maintenance execution, with the chance to help shape how the scheduling function is built and run.

This is a maintenance scheduling position, not a turnaround or project scheduling role. Work is continuous, with no fixed start or end date. The Scheduler keeps that work moving by balancing a rolling backlog against a fixed pool of craft labor, ensuring the right work is done by the right people at the right time.

• Build and manage maintenance schedules for preventive, corrective and routine work, working in rolling one‑week blocks over a six‑week horizon
• Extract and sequence work from SAP, balancing demand against available craft labor and batching work for efficiency
• Screen work orders and confirm all work meets scheduling criteria before release
• Review completed work, roll forward any outstanding items and keep the backlog under control
• Partner with operations, reliability, engineering and the trades to minimize production impact
• Prioritize work based on safety, criticality and operational impact
• Report on schedule compliance, maintenance performance and KPIs
• Contribute to the development of scheduling processes, procedures and CMMS optimization

• Maintenance scheduling experience in oil and gas, LNG, petrochemical or a comparable process facility
• Strong working knowledge of SAP (PM module and S/4 HANA a plus)
• Solid understanding of maintenance execution and reliability practices
• A trade background in instrumentation and controls, mechanical or electrical is highly regarded
• Typically 5 to 10 years of relevant experience, with flexibility for the right candidate
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to coordinate across the crafts and adapt as priorities change
• Eligibility for a TWIC card
• Experience with Prometheus Scheduler, Primavera P6 or MS Project is beneficial
• Turnaround experience is welcome but not essential
