Operations and Engineering planning for SAPREF Refinery

All planning functions required to setup the Refinery Shutdown and Start Up schedule. Liason with Operators and analysis of the shutdown and start up procedures and producing a meaningful schedule for this.

I moved to the Engineering department after the Turnaround and proceeded to produce planning for a number of small projects that were being executed throughout the refinery

<Turnaround Lead Planner> I am currently a Turnaround Planner for SAPREF in Durban, South Africa and previously I was with Sasol Synfuels in Secunda also in South Africa. My main role is to create sub-schedules and master schedules. This role involves planning, resourcing, scheduling, integrate maintenance & project scopes and leveling the schedule. This is then followed by publishing histograms required for execution. During execution phase, I update the schedule and create progress reports mainly S-curves, Alerts and Look-Aheads.
