• High school diploma or GED required; associate's or bachelor's in engineering, maintenance management, or related field preferred.
• 3–7+ years of experience in maintenance planning/scheduling, preferably in oil & gas, mining, or heavy industry (North Slope/Arctic experience highly valued).
• Prior hands-on craft experience (e.g., mechanic, electrician, or instrument tech) is often required or strongly preferred for credibility in scoping jobs.
• Proficiency with CMMS/ERP systems for work order management and planning.
• Strong knowledge of oil & gas equipment, preventive/predictive maintenance strategies, and safety regulations (e.g., OSHA, API standards).
