Here's The Role

Do you thrive in maintaining industrial operations to run smoothly? If so, we are seeking a motivated and meticulous Mechanical Power Plant Planner to join the Maintenance Planning team at Lost Pines in Bastrop, Texas! As a power plant planner, you will drive plant efficiency by managing daily work orders, build job plans, and keep preventive maintenance on track. You will also develop estimate costs, order parts, write scopes of work, and lead outage planning to conquer the maintenance backlog. To thrive here, you will need to solve complex problems and agility to juggle shifting priorities. If you’re searching for a high-impact role where you help keep the lights on this is the job for you!

  • Collaborate with safety, environmental, and engineering groups to build and update preventative plant maintenance routines.
  • Purchase parts and tools using a company ProCard in conjunction with reviewing or approving related invoices as warranted.
  • Develop scopes of work for outside services. Evaluate bids, recommend best evaluated bidders and develop recommendations for management approval.
  • Travel independently or with other team members to various locations to identify areas which need support.

How You’re Qualified

  • Nine or more years of experience in industrial (power, petrochemical, pulp/paper, steel, etc.) plant operations, maintenance or engineering or other relevant experience.
  • A degree(s) in power generation, engineering, business, science, math or relevant field may be substituted per LCRA guidelines for certain years of experience.

How You’ll Stand Out

  • Experience in operating and maintaining conventional gas fired and combustion turbine-based power plants. Specifically, combined and simple cycle.
  • Experience in maintaining boiler pressure parts, gas and steam turbines, and process pumps.
  • Experience with Maximo.
  • Experience in maintenance planning principles, including work package development, and PM development.
