Position Overview

We are seeking a Logistics Coordinator to support ongoing Turnarounds (TARs) and Maintenance Outages at one of our client’s refineries in Port Arthur, TX. This is an in-office, field-focused role requiring a hands-on, resourceful individual with strong communication skills, technical proficiency, and a deep understanding of refinery operations and the complexities of shutdown logistics.

• Adjust plans in real time as conditions change (e.g., crane availability, equipment delays)
• Support equipment moves and resource allocation with a solid mechanical understanding at the coordinator level
• Serve as the point of contact for on-site communication and issue resolution during shutdowns
• Use Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) to build schedules, run reports, and track work progress
• Leverage ERP systems (SAP preferred) to support documentation, resource planning, and logistics tracking
• Set up and manage Teams meetings and communicate effectively across digital platforms
• Provide day-to-day support to ensure the site runs efficiently through planned outages and peak shutdown activity
  
  

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience in refinery or chemical plant operations, TARs, or maintenance coordination
• Strong understanding of the constraints and demands of TARs and maintenance outages
• Mechanically inclined with the ability to manage and support field-level equipment logistics
• Proven field coordination skills—especially under pressure
• Tech-savvy, including comfort with Microsoft Office Suite, Teams, and ideally SAP or other ERP tools
• High school diploma required; college degree preferred but not mandatory
• Must be capable of setting up and running virtual meetings and managing tasks across digital tools
• Adaptable, proactive, and ready to problem-solve in dynamic environments
