Role Overview

We are conducting a global search for a Global Director of Asset Maintenance.

In this role, the Global Director of Asset Maintenance is accountable for defining and executing Hatch's global Asset Maintenance strategy, establishing technical excellence, governance, service offerings, methodologies, and delivery capabilities that support clients through the transition to operations phase of capital projects.

A critical expectation of the role is to champion Asset Maintenance as a critical component of successful project delivery, ensuring maintenance organizations, systems, work processes, spare parts, maintenance facilities, workforce capabilities, maintenance strategies, and asset data are established and ready to support safe, reliable and efficient operations at startup.

Asset Maintenance services are frequently delivered as an integrated component of Operational Readiness programs, ensuring maintenance readiness is embedded throughout the project lifecycle and integrated with commissioning, completions, and ramp-up activities. In other cases, Asset Maintenance services are delivered as standalone project-focused engagements.

Unlike traditional Asset Management advisory services that focus primarily on existing operations, organizational transformation, distressed assets, or operational performance improvement programs, the Asset Maintenance practice within CORE is principally focused on supporting greenfield developments and brownfield projects, helping clients successfully transition assets from project execution, through startup and ramp-up, into reliable and sustainable operations.

The Global Director will be responsible for ensuring alignment between Asset Maintenance and Hatch's broader CORE service lines, including Operational Readiness, Commissioning, Completions, and Ramp-up, delivering integrated solutions that support clients across the entire path to operations.

We are looking for professionals who think and act like owners, thrive on creating new approaches and improving processes, and can bridge technical execution with strategic foresight to deliver exceptional client value. Most importantly, you will inspire, develop and lead our teams with a focus on developing future great asset maintenance professionals, sustaining the growth of our expertise for decades to come.

Candidates must be willing to travel to meet teams and clients including remote project sites as required, and participate in site assignments, sometimes requiring fly-in/fly-out arrangements for periods of time.
