EPC Planning Engineer

Key Responsibilities * Develop and maintain integrated EPC project schedules covering engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and handover. * Prepare Level 1–4 baseline schedules, detailed work programmes, WBS, activity codes, calendars, milestones, and resource plans. * Review project contracts, scope of work, BOQ, drawings, specifications, and contractual completion requirements. * Coordinate with engineering, procurement, construction, QA/QC, HSE, commissioning, subcontractor, and project-management teams. * Collect progress information from discipline engineers, site engineers, vendors, subcontractors, and supervisors. * Monitor engineering deliverables, document submissions, client reviews, approvals, and IFC drawing releases. * Track material submittals, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, vendor drawings, manufacturing, inspections, expediting, shipping, and site deliveries. * Monitor construction activities, manpower, equipment, quantities, productivity, and subcontractor performance. * Prepare engineering, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, and handover look-ahead schedules. * Attend client, consultant, progress, technical, procurement, and site coordination meetings. * Present schedule status, critical activities, delays, risks, and recovery actions to project management and clients. * Conduct regular planning meetings with project engineers, site engineers, discipline leads, supervisors, and subcontractors. * Update project schedules using actual start and finish dates, remaining durations, progress percentages, and forecast completion dates. * Perform critical-path, float, schedule variance, resource, and productivity analysis. * Prepare S-curves, manpower histograms, progress dashboards, KPI reports, and planned-versus-actual comparisons. * Develop progress measurement systems and weightages for engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning activities. * Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports for internal management, clients, and consultants. * Identify schedule delays, constraints, interface issues, and potential risks and recommend mitigation measures. * Prepare recovery, acceleration, and catch-up schedules when project progress falls behind the approved baseline. * Coordinate with procurement and vendors to ensure long-lead materials align with construction priorities. * Support resource loading, resource levelling, cost loading, cash-flow forecasting, and earned-value analysis. * Maintain delay registers, constraint logs, risk registers, milestone trackers, and action lists. * Review and evaluate subcontractor baseline schedules, progress updates, recovery plans, and extension-of-time submissions. * Support delay analysis, impact assessments, extension-of-time claims, variations, and change-control documentation. * Ensure schedule changes and approved variations are incorporated into the project programme. * Coordinate testing, pre-commissioning, commissioning, punch-list closure, documentation, and final handover schedules. * Maintain accurate planning records, schedule narratives, progress evidence, and historical project data. Requirements * Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or a related engineering discipline. * Minimum 4–7 years of experience in EPC project planning and scheduling. * Strong knowledge of Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel, and project-reporting tools. * Experience in oil and gas, petrochemical, power, industrial, infrastructure, MEP, or construction projects. * Good understanding of engineering deliverables, procurement cycles, construction sequencing, and commissioning activities. * Knowledge of critical-path method, earned-value management, delay analysis, cost control, and progress measurement. * Ability to prepare professional progress reports, dashboards, S-curves, and management presentations. * Strong client interaction, communication, coordination, analytical, reporting, and problem-solving skills.
