Project Manager — Turnarounds, Shutdowns & MOC

Plan, resource, and execute turnarounds, major shutdowns, and Management of Change (MOC) activities within fixed, non-negotiable time windows. Full accountability for ensuring manpower, equipment, and materials are secured and mobilized ahead of execution — zero tolerance for schedule slippage.

Key Responsibilities

•Own the master schedule as an immovable constraint — critical path, contingency planning, daily/weekly progress tracking, immediate escalation of any deviation.

•Build and validate resource-loaded plans (manpower, equipment, materials) for every turnaround/shutdown/MOC scope: craft labor by discipline, cranes/scaffolding/specialty equipment, long-lead materials and spares — confirmed and on site before mobilization.

•Run formal readiness reviews (e.g. 100/60/30/14-day) to verify resources are fully secured ahead of the fixed execution date.

•Lead/coordinate MOC packages (risk assessment, documentation, approvals) so changes are resourced and closed out within the turnaround timeline, not as an afterthought.

•Coordinate Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, HSE, Procurement, and Contractors into one integrated execution plan; manage contractor mobilization, site logistics, and budget.

•Maintain HSE and quality standards without compromise, even under schedule pressure

Rigorous front-end planner with a strong risk/contingency mindset; decisive under pressure; disciplined, transparent communicator; uncompromising on safety.

• All candidates must have prior experience working in the Saudi market, preferably on Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power, or Industrial projects.
• Experience with Saudi Aramco, JIGPC, or Royal Commission projects is mandatory for key positions and highly preferred for all others.
