SENIOR/LEAD PLANNER

Planner/Scheduler plays a critical role in planning, monitoring, and controlling project timelines, ensuring steel fabrication, erection, and finishing activities are executed on schedule while coordinating resources across engineering, procurement, and site execution.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain project schedules using Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar tools.
• Create baseline schedules covering design, procurement, fabrication, delivery, erection, and finishing.
• Prepare lookahead schedules (30-day, 90-day) aligned with site progress and material availability.
• Monitor fabrication and erection progress against milestones; update schedules with actual data.
• Identify delays and variances; perform time-impact analysis (TIA) and propose recovery plans.
• Coordinate with stakeholders (project managers, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers).
• Integrate schedules with cost control and resource planning to support earned value management (EVM).
• Ensure compliance with contractual requirements and client reporting standards.

Required Skills & Competencies

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel.
• Knowledge of Critical Path Method (CPM) and resource-loaded scheduling.
• Ability to interpret PEB fabrication drawings, erection sequences, and BOQ data.
• Familiarity with procurement cycles, logistics, and site erection workflows

Education & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering .
• Experience: 08+ in construction scheduling, preferably with steel/PEB projects.
• Certifications: Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP – AACE), Primavera P6 certification

Risks & Challenges in PEB Scheduling

• Fabrication delays due to shop drawing approvals or material shortages.
• Logistics bottlenecks in transporting steel frames to site.
• Erection sequence conflicts if cranes or manpower are not aligned.
• Weather impacts (wind, rain) affecting steel erection safety and timelines.
• Coordination gaps between design, procurement, and site execution.
