Burrow Global, LLC•Houston, TX

6h•Onsite

About The Position

Burrow Global is seeking an experienced Rotating Equipment Planner to support a critical outage on a large reciprocating compressor system. This role focuses on planning, scheduling, and coordinating activities for a major overhaul of the 1st (axial), 2nd, and 3rd (centrifugal) stage compressors. The successful candidate will work closely with the Maintenance, Engineering, Outage, and Contracting teams to ensure safe, reliable, and on-time execution. Candidates will work a 40 hour shift schedule until the TAR begins in the fall and them work a 7/12 schedule until the TAR is completed.

Requirements

Minimum 5–7 years of rotating equipment planning/maintenance planning experience in petrochemical, refining, or heavy industrial environments.
Demonstrated experience planning and executing outages involving major compressor packages (reciprocating and/or centrifugal stages).
Strong knowledge of rotary equipment (pumps, turbines, compressors), mechanical integrity, LOTO, PTW, RCA, and safety best practices.
Proficiency in planning tools and scheduling software (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project, SAP PM, and CMMS). Strong ability to build and maintain credible work packs and look-ahead plans.
Familiarity with major overhaul workflows: disassembly, inspection, component refurbishment/replacement, alignment, clearances, lubrication systems, seals, couplings, valves, instrumentation.
Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills; ability to work with cross-functional teams and subcontractors.
Ability to read mechanical, P&ID, electrical, and control system drawings; BOMs and spare parts catalogs.
Knowledge of Permits-to-Work, LOTO, hot work, confined space, and other safety processes.
Willingness to work a site-based schedule, with potential long hours during critical outage windows; occasional travel to supplier sites as required.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Maintenance Engineering, or a related technical field preferred; equivalent experience considered.

Responsibilities

Develop, maintain, and optimize detailed outage work packs for the major overhaul, including 1st (axial), 2nd, and 3rd (centrifugal) stage compressor components.
Create and manage the outage schedule, work breakdown structure, critical path, and resource loading (crafts, materials, tools, and spare parts).
Identify, sequence, and prioritize maintenance tasks (inspection, disassembly, refurbishment/replacement, reassembly, testing) and ensure proper logic for dependencies.
Coordinate with Engineering for technical scope, drawings, Bill of Materials (BOM), and special tools required for the overhaul.
Ensure all planning activities align with Company QA/QC, HSE, mechanical integrity, and regulatory requirements.
Prepare and issue work packages, permits to work, lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures, and risk assessments.
Engage with procurement to ensure timely availability of parts, consumables, and tooling; track long-lead items and vendors.
Manage change control, deviations, and field changes; maintain accurate progress reporting and metrics (progress vs. plan, earned value, look-ahead schedules).
Collaborate with outage lead, maintenance supervisors, and craft supervisors to optimize manpower and equipment utilization.
Provide pre-outage planning deliverables (pre-job packs, risk assessments, spare parts lists) and post-outage closeout documentation.
Lead or participate in daily planning/coordination meetings, facilitating clear communication between company stakeholders, vendor, and client teams.
