Senior Engineer - Planning

Technical scope and responsibilities :

• Develop coded project WBS, activity dictionaries and schedule levels (executive milestones through detailed contractor/discipline activities) tied to measurable physical scope.

Build an integrated Primavera P6 master schedule covering design coordination, statutory approvals, tendering, vendor onboarding, piling, substructure, floor-by-floor RCC cycles, faade, MEP, finishes, amenities, commissioning and handover.

• Apply realistic construction logic, calendars, constraints and productivity assumptions; verify critical/near-critical paths, activity float, dependencies and interface milestones.

• Develop floor-cycle plans, zones/work fronts, resource and manpower histograms, equipment requirements and a phased logistics/long-lead procurement programme.

• Coordinate with the QS to map BOQ quantities and budget values to schedule activities for physical progress measurement, planned value, S-curves and project cash-flow forecasting.

• Obtain and integrate consultant deliverable dates, drawing review/approval cycles, vendor fabrication lead times, site constraints and inspection/approval milestones.

• Establish baseline-control protocols; maintain versions, progress cut-off dates, look-ahead plans (2/4/6 weeks), actual starts/finishes and auditable progress evidence.

• Prepare weekly and monthly variance analysis, slippage summaries, schedule-risk registers, root cause analysis and achievable mitigation/recovery plans.

• Support EVM indicators, physical versus financial progress, procurement trackers, executive dashboards and schedule impact assessment for changes.

• Coordinate progress data with site and contractor engineers and challenge unsupported percentages or unrealistic completion forecasts. Essential skills and standards •

Advanced Primavera P6: activity logic, baselines, layouts, calendars, critical path analysis, updating and reporting; MS Project working knowledge.

• Advanced Excel; practical Power BI skills desirable for S-curves, KPI reporting and dashboards.

• Good understanding of high-rise construction methods, floor-cycle productivity, scheduling of MEP and finishing work fronts, and contractor programme review.

• Understanding of schedule quality, look-ahead/constraint planning, progress measurement rules, earned value and change-control procedures.
