Title
Addition of A Power Plant Maintenance Planner Position to the Occupational Index (B)
Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) is requesting to add a Power Plant Maintenance Planner position to the Occupational Index at Pay Grade M ($47,031.15 to $58,078.77) of the CWA Skilled Craft/Technical Pay Plan.
Explanation
The normal practice in operating a power generating plant is having a dedicated Power Plant Maintenance Planner, who is responsible for scheduling and planning routine maintenance, coordinate personnel and resources during unplanned outages or incidents. This position is also responsible for inventory and procurement services of the plant, coordination of work orders, providing management with reports for decision making, and coordinating with outside vendors to ensure that plant maintenance is completed in a timely manner and is currently within the department's budget.
GRU has used personnel classified as operators or mechanics for this work, which removes them from the regular work force that performs the actual maintenance. In the past few years, the plants have become more technical and it has become evident that a dedicated maintenance planner is required to coordinate and facilitate this work to free up other resources, as well as provide a greater level of control and oversight of the plant maintenance. In addition, the use of modern computer-based maintenance management systems (CMMS) requires increased knowledge of data-based management systems, the use of integrated automated purchasing and ordering systems such as the MIMS systems, currently used by GRU. The recommended salary range for the Power Plant Maintenance Planner classification to the Occupational Index is Pay Grade M ($47,031.15 to $58,078.77) of the CWA Skilled Craft/Technical Pay Plan.
