Outage Planner

* Develop and implement detailed outage plans for critical WtE systems (combustion chambers, boilers, turbine generators, ash handling systems, etc.).
* Coordinate outage activities across multiple plants, ensuring alignment with project timelines, budgets, and resource allocations.
* Adjust resource allocation (labor, materials, vendors) to ensure tasks are completed on schedule and within scope.
* Lead internal and external teams, ensuring adherence to safety protocols, efficient resource management, and timely project execution.
* Monitor costs during outages, identify budget overruns, and recommend corrective actions or cost-saving measures.
* Perform risk assessments and manage potential project delays, safety hazards, or environmental concerns.
* Develop and manage comprehensive project schedules to ensure the timely and successful completion of outage projects.
* To minimize downtime, establish preventive and corrective maintenance strategies for key WtE plant systems.
* Ensure all maintenance activities follow best practices and project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall).
* Identify project risks and implement mitigation plans to ensure on-time, on-budget execution.
* Ensure outage work adheres to Reworld’s safety policies, environmental regulations, and industry standards.
* Lead compliance efforts to maintain air quality and meet air pollution control standards during outages.
* Conduct hazard analysis and risk assessments to ensure the safety of personnel during outage operations.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams, contractors, and vendors to procure resources for outage projects.
* Develop and manage outage project budgets to ensure cost efficiency and effective resource use.
* Track project expenses, ensuring alignment with budgetary constraints, and provide recommendations for cost optimization.
* Maximize plant uptime and minimize downtime to optimize overall operations and project outcomes.
* Identify opportunities for equipment upgrades, process improvements, and operational efficiencies.
* Apply Lean Six Sigma principles to improve operational performance and reduce downtime.
* Ensure full compliance with environmental regulations, including emissions standards and waste disposal practices.
* Prepare and maintain detailed reports on outage activities, regulatory compliance, and performance metrics.
* Report project status, progress, and any potential challenges to senior management.
* Serve as the primary point of contact for outage-related communications, providing timely and clear updates to all stakeholders.
* Coordinate with senior management, vendors, contractors, and internal teams to address outage-related inquiries and issues.
* Conduct post-outage reviews to assess the success of planning and execution and identify areas for improvement.
* Develop and implement strategies for continuous improvement in outage management and execution.
* Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
* Proven project management experience, ideally in outage planning and coordination within the WtE industry.
