At Tarmac, ‘who you are’ matters.  We want to get to know you.  If you share our values and are proud of a job well done, collaborative in working well with others and ambitious to make things better, then have a read of what we have on offer. 

We are currently looking for a Mechanical Planner to join our friendly team based in Dunbar Cement Plant, East Lothian. 

Here at Tarmac, we are working hard to create a dynamic and inclusive environment and it’s important that our people come from a variety of different backgrounds, therefore prior technical experience isn’t always necessary for success.

Role Responsibility

Reporting directly to the Methods Manager, as the successful candidate you will: 

• Ensure compliance with Health, Safety & Environmental Standards.
• Define the detailed methodology for carrying out mechanical execution tasks taking into account plant priorities, the required resources, skills coordination and supervision.
• Ensure that all necessary materials, spares and tools are available for planned operations.
• Prepare time and cost estimates for work orders and job plans to help optimise resource allocation.
• Draw up regular inventories of the spare parts and ensure their availability in coordination with the stores.
• Custodian of the CMMS (SAP PM) with the ability to maintain and update the preventative maintenance and spares information in the system.

• Focus on the coordination of annual major plant overhauls across all departments.
• Produce tender specifications in line with Tarmac standards for engineering services and spares
• Manage general and specific technical documentation in the site technical library.
• Manage and update equipment codification and records.
• Manage and supervise contract teams and issue permits to work as required

Site operations are 365 days, 24/7 and the role requires flexibility to ensure effective running of the plant. This will require cover through a call out rota which will involve night working, weekend and bank holidays where necessary.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate excellent organisational skills with a strong technical knowledge of mechanical equipment combined with heavy industrial plant experience. Communication and collaboration at all levels will be key aspects of this role. A good knowledge and experience of using a CMMS for the site preventative maintenance program, ideally SAP PM, will be essential. 

Qualifications:

• A level education or HNC/D in ideally Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• IOSH/NEBOSH Certification desirable
• CMMS SAP PM qualification / training
