i was asked to attend to a situation some while ago, where leaking sink appeared at the premises. i told the lady that what she actually need is not a planner but a plumber.
i do mainteance planner in the first 2 years of my career , now transfer to project planner /scheduler at 3 years ago .
Hi Ilkin
If youll study some of the threads especially under this topic youll 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
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
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.
Regards
Dieter
