  • Manage outsourced maintenance, repair, and reliability services to maximize equipment uptime and plant performance.
  • Coordinate vendor support for capital projects, facility improvements, equipment installations, and operational expansions.
  • Ensure contractor resources are available to support planned shutdowns, preventative maintenance programs, and production demands.
  • Partner with Engineering and Operations teams to identify external resources needed to address technical and capacity challenges.

Contract & Commercial Management

  • Lead contract negotiations, renewals, pricing discussions, and service agreements with suppliers and contractors.
  • Monitor vendor spend and identify opportunities for cost savings and value creation.
  • Ensure contractual compliance and adherence to service expectations.
  • Work closely with Procurement, Finance, and Legal teams to manage supplier agreements and mitigate commercial risks.
  • Support annual budgeting and forecasting processes related to outsourced services and contractor spend.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

  • Partner with EHS leadership to oversee contractor onboarding, training, and safety performance.
  • Monitor supplier quality metrics and work with vendors to address performance issues and corrective actions.
  • Conduct vendor risk assessments focused on operational continuity, financial stability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
