Mr. Schmid has served as both President and Director of Strategic Initiatives, with Roteck Services since July of 2017.

Rolf’s experience with turbine maintenance and his overall strategic approach to turbine servicing and technical expertise, combined with a strategic approach to long-term troubleshooting, provides the customer perspective in assessing, developing, implementing and managing combustion turbine life cycle maintenance programs utilizing OEM or aftermarket parts and service providers.

Securing approval and acceptance of internal and external stakeholders including executive management, board of directors, and property insurance carriers, as applicable, is key to program success. Once approval and stakeholder acceptance are secured, the program can be taken to market through a bid process utilizing scoping and performance specifications, bidder list development, bid evaluations, life cycle cash flow projections, capital parts life cycle cost, business plan stress testing and final contract negotiations and execution. Ongoing program management cost optimization can be through either external Asset Management services or internal client self-management with the necessary training, planning tools and parts models provided as part of an implementation program.

The collaboration provides the client with an optimized and custom tailored major maintenance program to minimize life cycle cost with acceptable risk to meet particular business objectives.
