Planner

1. Project Programme & Baseline Management • Develop and maintain detailed project schedules using Primavera P6and Microsoft Project. • Prepare programmes covering tender, initial concept, construction, testing, completion and handover stages. • Build clear work breakdown structures, activity logic, key milestones and critical paths for building, civil, foundation, maintenance and project works. • Estimate the duration of major activities based on work scope, quantities, construction methods, productivity and site constraints. • Establish, update and control approved project baselines in accordance with contract and Client requirements. • Maintain proper schedule revision and change-control records. 2. Resource Planning& Deployment • Prepare daily manpower, plant, equipment and material deployment plans in coordination with the project team. • Develop resource-loaded schedules and short-, medium- and long-term resource forecasts. • Compare planned resources against actual deployment and highlight shortages, over-allocation or low productivity. • Recommend resource levelling, resequencing or recovery actions to support project milestones. • Prepare two-week, four-week and monthly look-ahead plans for site execution. 3. Progress Monitoring & Reporting • Collect and update actual site progress against the approved baseline and current work plan. • Prepare daily, weekly and monthly reports with schedule updates, progress curves, manpower histograms and milestone status. • Analyse planned versus actual progress, schedule variance and critical-path movement. • Provide early warning of delays and constraints that may affect completion. • Prepare and monitor recovery or acceleration plans with the project team. • Present schedule and progress updates during internal and Client meetings. 4. Delay Analysis, Recovery Planning & EOT Support • Maintain records for delays, disruptions, Client instructions and scope changes. • Assess the impact of design changes, late information, access restrictions and other constraints. • Support EOT claims with delay chronology, impacted activities, schedule analysis and evidence. • Coordinate timely notices and complete EOT submissions with Project and Commercial teams. • Prepare recovery schedules and track agreed corrective actions. 5. Tender Planning, Site Coordination & Handover • Prepare tender programmes, planning narratives, resource plans and other scheduling-related technical submissions. • Review tender drawings, specifications, scope and proposed construction methods to develop realistic durations and sequences. • Coordinate with Project, Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Commercial, subcontractors and Client representatives on schedule requirements and interfaces. • Monitor site implementation and ensure work is carried out according to the agreed sequence and priorities. • Update completion, testing, punch-list and handover activities and ensure they are properly planned and monitored. • Maintain clear and accurate planning records for project close-out and lessons learned. QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE • Bachelor's degree, Diploma or Nitec in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or an equivalent qualification. • Minimum three to six years of planning and scheduling experience in the construction or process industry. • Proficient in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, including development of project schedules and preparation of planning and progress reports for Clients. • Experience in construction planning and scheduling for civil-related facilities, building works, foundation works or process-industry projects is preferred. • Able to read drawings, understand construction methods and translate project scope into practical activity sequences and resource requirements. • Good analytical, reporting, coordination and communication skills, with the ability to work closely with site and office teams.
