• Lead implementation of the site's Permit to Work and Lockout/Tagout programs, including permit workflows, isolation processes, switching protocols, and associated documentation.
• Support commissioning activities through participation in system walkdowns, PSSRs, first-fire events, synchronization, performance testing, and turnover inspections to verify system readiness and isolation boundaries.
• Collaborate with EPC contractors, Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, Safety, and construction LOTO personnel to coordinate work authorization, equipment isolations, and safe execution of commissioning activities.
• Establish permit authorization processes, isolation standards, equipment labeling, lockout/tagout documentation, and contractor coordination procedures to support safe plant operations.
• Maintain Permit to Work, Lockout/Tagout, and commissioning documentation to support a safe transition from EPC construction to commercial operations.

Your scope of responsibility as PTW Supervisor includes the following primary functions:

• Administer and continuously improve the site's PTW and LOTO programs by coordinating permitting, conducting classroom and hands-on PTW/LOTO training for site personnel with support from the Training Supervisor, and ensuring work is properly authorized, equipment is safely isolated, and site procedures and safety requirements are met.
• Coordinate permit issuance, equipment isolations, lockout/tagout activities, switching, and work authorization for maintenance, construction, commissioning, and plant operations while ensuring effective communication among Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and contractors.
• Maintain PTW and LOTO procedures, isolation plans, switching orders, equipment status records, and program documentation to reflect plant modifications, operating experience, and industry best practices.
• Facilitate safe work execution by providing guidance on permit requirements, isolation boundaries, hazardous energy control, confined space entry, hot work, and other site permitting processes while supporting regulatory compliance.
• Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the PTW and LOTO programs through field observations, audits, incident reviews, and performance assessments, implementing improvements to strengthen safety and operational excellence.
• Support plant startup, shutdown, commissioning, testing, and routine operations while providing Shift Supervisor relief coverage and reinforcing operational standards, procedural compliance, and safe work practices.
• Collaborate with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Safety, contractors, and OEMs on event investigations, corrective actions, Management of Change (MOC), and continuous improvement to ensure PTW and LOTO programs remain aligned with plant operations.
