• Support site outage and turnaround planning
• Lead root cause analysis and failure investigations for recurring or critical equipment issues
• Create and maintain equipment files, technical documentation, and a documentation storage methodology at each facility
• Define baseline maintenance and reliability key performance indicators (KPIs) — e.g., PM compliance, backlog aging, planned-vs-reactive work ratio, downtime, and establish a regular reporting cadence to leadership
• Facilitate knowledge-sharing and adoption of best practices across facilities
• Partner with the Operations team to define and achieve maintenance, plant performance, and reliability objectives
• Develop processes and train personnel on fiscal planning, budgeting, performance tracking, and forecasting for equipment maintenance, including quantifying deferred maintenance and capital needs and building business cases for investment
• Partner with the Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) team to identify and close existing maintenance-related compliance gaps
• Ensure ongoing maintenance processes meet OSHA, environmental, and DOT bulk-loading requirements
• Assess current maintenance workforce skill levels across facilities and ensure proper onboarding, coaching, training, and development — including building structured skills-development pathways — for personnel performing maintenance tasks
