Mainteance planner vs Project planner

Hi Ilkin

for my impression, maintenance planning is hard:
- shorter projects
- many the same time
- strong focus on resource planning
- big risk for interrupts - emergency cases, which remove personnel from planned activities

Shutdown-/ Turnaround-planning:
- Ten thousands of activities in some weeks/days
- Big risk for surprises
- Additional infrastructure, many additional persons, equipments....
- Simulations required before start

For both, your working place in inside the plant.

Projects (new buildings, plants...):
- Bigger
- More time for planning
- More time during project

Your working place is within an administration building.

So, it’s a very different style of planning. Both are challenging.

Why do you want to change? Maybe your reasons didn’t convince HR.

Dieter,

thank you so much for your response. I am trying to find job through internet, I applied for planner positions in oil&gas industry, where most of the positions are related to project and construction. I have got only 5 years experince, last 4 of them are in oil&gas industry, and it is very strong experince. However I have not got any positive pesponse from applications I have done, I saw in your profile you are also in oil&gas, could you please recommend any agencies or web sites?

regards

Ilkin

Hi Ilkin

If you’ll study some of the threads especially under this topic you’ll find some agents.
Most difficult will be a work permit. Germany is extremely restrictive for all persons from outside European Community/Union - even against Poland, who is a member. We have no chance to hire people from outside!
More liberal seem - my impression - UK, Ireland and Spain,; France just for their former colonies.
Best market for you seems the UAE.
Good luck
Dieter
