Purpose:

Plant and equipment Shutdowns or Turnarounds are a critical success factor in the delivery of safe production to plan, and an important continuous improvement opportunity. Our planned Shutdowns account for a significant percentage of planned downtime and if not managed optimally will lead to value leakage and safety incidents.

Similarly Operational Readiness is critical in ensuring safe production to plan through effective handover of Shutdowns and Projects to operations, and the inclusion of all Asset Management requirements.

This role will establish and develop a Shutdown Management and Operational Readiness Authority to ensure strategies, standards, best practices, and the latest technology are developed and implemented to optimise shutdown durations and to minimize ramp-up and return-to-operations durations, while ensuring zero harm (safety), and quality in delivery at optimal cost.
