Our Planning Expertise
Turnaround Planners

Turnaround planners develop and manage shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages (STOs) to ensure operational continuity. They oversee scope development, scheduling, and resource management, ensuring all activities align with project objectives. From initial planning to final execution, turnaround planners work to minimize downtime, optimize cost efficiency, and enhance safety compliance.

They also manage job package development, procurement coordination, and contractor oversight, incorporating emerging work orders (EWOs) without disrupting schedules. Their collaboration with project controls and operations teams ensures all regulatory and safety requirements are met.

Maintenance Planners

Maintenance planners focus on preventive and corrective maintenance planning to keep industrial assets operational and reliable. By analyzing work scopes, resource requirements, and job prioritization, they develop schedules that enhance equipment performance and reduce unplanned downtime.

Their expertise includes workflow optimization, backlog management, and field walk-downs to validate job scopes. Using advanced planning software such as SAP, STOplanner, and Primavera, maintenance planners ensure all tasks are properly tracked and executed.

Capital Project Planners

Capital project planners manage the engineering, procurement, and construction phases of large-scale projects. They create detailed project schedules, identify resource needs, and mitigate risks to optimize execution.

Their role includes cost estimation, budget forecasting, and coordination across multiple project teams. By leveraging industry-leading tools such as Primavera P6, SAP, and Microsoft Project, they maintain alignment between project objectives and execution strategies.
