COMPA Industries is seeking an experienced Senior Work Control Planner to support complex operational and maintenance activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In this role, you'll be a key contributor to the safe, efficient, and compliant execution of high-consequence facility work - developing, reviewing, and closing high-quality work packages that uphold rigorous safety, regulatory, and quality standards.

This is a senior-level, largely independent role for a seasoned work control professional who brings deep expertise in complex facility environments and can hit the ground running with minimal oversight.

• Extensive experience creating and closing work packages for complex, regulated, or high-hazard facilities
• Deep understanding of work control, safety practices, and lock-out/tag-out for mechanical and/or electrical systems
• Demonstrated ability to independently plan, develop, and manage complex maintenance or modification activities

• Prepare, review, and issue work packages - corrective, preventive, and modifications - for complex activities in full compliance with applicable regulations
• Write detailed step-by-step instructions for isolation, containment, and de-energization of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and/or radiological systems
• Analyze and estimate time, labor, and material requirements for complex projects
• Manage work package priorities to ensure timely and accurate execution
• Ensure compliance with Laboratory, industry, legal, and environmental requirements throughout all work phases
• Perform related administrative tasks including permits, testing requirements, documentation, records management, and training coordination
• Validate that all materials, processes, and results meet established quality and safety specifications
• Prioritize safety and security at all times - with the authority and responsibility to halt work if either is compromised

Required:

• Extensive experience in complex work control, materials management, and/or mechanical maintenance
• Advanced knowledge of safety practices, hazardous operating configurations, and lock-out/tag-out procedures in complex facilities
• Proven ability to interpret mechanical and electrical drawings, blueprints, and schematics
• Proficiency with computerized work management systems
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to independently prepare and present work control documentation and reports
• U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a DOE Q Clearance

Preferred:

• Broad work control experience across unique or specialized complex facilities
• Strong organizational skills with experience managing competing priorities
• Effective collaboration with maintenance, operations support, and engineering, and facility staff

Education:

• Bachelor's degree and 12 years of directly related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Post-graduate coursework may be expected

• Supervision received: Minimal day-to-day direction - this role operates with a high degree of independence
• Supervision exercised: May provide direction to maintenance, operations support, or clerical staff
• Key contacts: Frequent interaction with management, engineers, technicians, and operational staff

For over 30 years, COMPA has delivered on its commitment to partnership, progress, and national security - providing best-in-class technical and professional services for mission-critical government and industry programs. This role offers:

• Highly competitive compensation ($79-$85/hr)
• A senior, autonomous role with real influence over facility safety and operations
• Long-term assignment potential at one of the world's premier scientific institutions
• A collaborative culture that values expertise and invests in its people
