A turnkey statementworX project solution turns manufacturing around.

A scientific illustration.

Kelly® Engineering provides an agile statement of work (SOW) project delivery solution for the maintenance of chemical plants. Services include a SME coordinator and experts to ensure rapid deployment and scalability.


The challenge:

Productivity sabotaged by a lack of organization.

A top Fortune 100 multinational chemical industry leader needed support in securing and managing experienced talent for capital construction projects, maintenance, and turnaround activities. But the company lacked the organizational structure to coordinate the experts needed for multiple sites throughout North America. In addition, their inability to increase and decrease on-site talent, their loss of critical process knowledge due to inconsistent personnel, market demand, and rising retirement rates all contributed to the company’s inefficiency.

The solution:

A centralized turnkey, full-service program.

Kelly Engineering became a full-service turnaround program partner for the chemical company. Through the partnership, Kelly developed a statementworX project delivery solution that minimized onboarding and ramp-up times. It also retained vital internal process knowledge, mitigated turnover, and set up a scalable active talent pool.

The program also monitors performance, adjusts resources based on this data, and forecasts future talent needs. In addition, Kelly established a dedicated subject-matter expert position who acts as a single point of contact. He oversees the redeployment of talent, and collaborates with local sites to support daily and unplanned events, or organize travel and housing for employees.

The value:

Efficient and scalable with expert talent.

Kelly Engineering rapidly deployed 24 high-level experts with experience in activity coordination, planning, scheduling, QA/QC support, and construction management. The Kelly team’s implementation of a single point of contact streamlined the management and deployment of talent for capital construction projects, maintenance, and turnaround activities.

The solution provided scalable support for the deployment of teams to 12 sites throughout North America, including the Gulf Coast of the United States. This deployment covered unplanned activity such as outages caused by freezing temperatures during the winter months. Kelly continues to support the chemical company with engineering roles through its centralized, turnkey, full-service program.
