• Own the stewardship of the maintenance backlog (Outstanding Work Count), ensuring aging is controlled and reduction targets are met.

• Track and report on backlog age, corrective-to-preventive ratio, and workforce utilisation.

• Prioritise backlog items in line with operational impact, complexity, and risk.

KPI Stewardship & Reliability Focus

• Steward the planning contribution to the Client’s top MT KPIs: Productivity, Outstanding Work Count, MTTR, MTBI, SHE-Critical PM Compliance, and Production Efficiency.

• Generate weekly and monthly performance reports for project leadership and Client stakeholders.

• Use CMMS data to identify bad actors, repeat failures, and improvement opportunities; partner with reliability and discipline supervisors to close the loop.

CMMS & Master Data Integrity

• Manage the updating and integrity of maintenance plans, task lists, equipment hierarchy, and Material Master Data within the CMMS.

• Ensure work order coding, completion data, and history capture are accurate to support reliability analysis.

SHE Leadership

• Ensure 100% adherence to Critical Procedures, Safe Job Plans, and PTW requirements for all high-risk work identified during planning.

• Champion SHE-Critical PM compliance and ensure these tasks are never deferred without proper risk assessment and Client endorsement.

Team Leadership

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of planners, ensuring competency, workload balance, and succession.

• Interface daily with the Deputy PM, CSR offshore representatives, discipline supervisors, and Client maintenance and operations leads.

• Represent the planning function in daily, weekly, and monthly governance meetings.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: B.Sc. in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Instrumentation, or Control Engineering.

• Experience: 10+ years in maintenance planning for offshore oil & gas (FPSO experience strongly preferred), including at least 3 years in a team lead or supervisory role.

• Technical Skills: Expert-level proficiency in SAP PM and IPES CMMS is mandatory. Strong command of Excel and reporting tools (Power BI / Tableau a plus).

• Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of preventive, corrective, and condition-based maintenance strategies; familiarity with PTW, isolation management, RBI, and SHE-Critical safeguards.

• Maintenance Transformation: Awareness of modern maintenance philosophies (worklist vs. complex work, urgency-based prioritisation, reliability-centred KPIs) is highly desirable.

• Communication: Excellent written and spoken English; able to manage complex technical and contractual interfaces between Client, and sub-contractor teams.

• Soft Skills: Strong leadership, organisational, and stakeholder management skills; able to operate calmly under pressure and drive accountability across distributed teams.

Key Performance Targets (KPIs)

The Planning Team Leader will be measured against the following:

• Work Order Completion Rate – % of scheduled WOs completed in the period (target ≥ 90%).

• SHE-Critical PM Compliance – % of SHE-Critical PMs completed by LACD (target ≥ 95%).

• Outstanding Work Count (Backlog) – Reduction trend month-over-month against agreed baseline.

• Backlog Aging – % of backlog items older than 90 / 180 / 365 days, with reduction targets.

• Corrective-to-Preventive Ratio – Trend toward a healthier preventive-dominant mix.

• Schedule Compliance – % of weekly scheduled work executed as planned (target ≥ 80%).

• Planning Accuracy – Variance between planned vs. actual man-hours and materials per job pack.

• Workforce Utilisation – Productive use of contracted manpower aligned with system tracking

• Data Quality – CMMS completion accuracy, history capture, and master data integrity audits.
