Shutdowns


As part of our broader maintenance operations, SKILLED Services offers comprehensive shutdown solutions. Working closely with either our own maintenance services teams or the client's maintenance engineers, our dedicated shutdown teams are able to plan and execute complex or unique shutdown projects on-time, on-budget and most importantly, safely.

Our overall belief in preventative maintenance is evident in our shutdown operations and a willingness to review and assist your maintenance engineers in meeting cycles and targets.

Commitment to Permanent Teams

Our commitment to delivering the highest quality Shutdown outcomes to our clients is underscored by our approach to planning operations and retaining skilled employees in our dedicated shutdown teams.

Through partnering with clients to review their shutdown schedule and access to a pool of highly skilled trades people, we are able to plan resources and deliver the most suited, professional and technically skilled shutdown team every time.

By permanently employing our Shutdown teams and implementing various retention strategies we have access to an integrated and trusted group of professional trades people. Our approach of establishing permanent shutdown and maintenance teams to encourage trust and team work between our employees achieves the highest quality results and most efficient outcomes for our clients. An example of our commitment to quality is our highly qualified mining industry Flying Squad of 150 employees with skills across all disciplines and the ability to be deployed to shutdown or project works anywhere in Australia at short notice.

Retention=Efficiency=Savings

High levels of employee retention allow us to pass on the benefits of increased productivity. Our employees take pride and a sense of ownership in their maintenance work. They work well in teams and have respect for safe behaviour and quality performance.
  • Very low Injury and Incident Rates - High rates of employee retention help to decrease the numbers of new personnel on site who are most at risk of incident/injury.
  • Increased productivity - Permanent employees and teams allow our shutdown supervisors to accurately match skills with work tasks. Employee Site and task familiarity allow for greater workloads.
  • Increased quality - Regular Shutdown Teams completing recurring planned outages on your site means our employees gain a sense of ownership of the maintenance task, increasing care, quality and loyalty to our clients' operations.
  • Reduced training costs - Training is often the hidden cost involved with new starters. High rates of employee retention can provide savings of around $1000 per return employee plus time and management costs, and allows for shorter lead times to man up large shutdowns.
