- Maintain realistic schedule forecasts and ensure the schedule remains aligned with project milestones and execution requirements.
- Review, challenge, and integrate contractor and supplier schedules into the overall project master schedule.
- Assess contractor sequencing, durations, logic, and progress to ensure schedules are realistic, achievable, and aligned with the project’s critical path.
- Update the schedule and support the development of S-curves, manpower curves, progress reporting, and schedule KPIs.
- Work closely with Project Controls to support analysis of planned versus earned hours, progress measurement, and overall schedule performance.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, contractors, and project controls to maintain an accurate and executable project plan.

Your Profile:

- 8+ years of experience in project planning and scheduling, including at least 5+ years of Primavera P6 experience.
- Strong experience on large mining, heavy industrial, EPC, EPCM, processing plant, infrastructure, or major construction projects.
- Demonstrated ability to build detailed Primavera P6 schedules from the ground up, including when engineering and project information are incomplete or still evolving.
- Strong understanding of how work is executed in the field, with the ability to translate engineering scope and construction requirements into realistic activities and sequences.
- Proven experience integrating engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning into an integrated master schedule.
- Strong understanding of schedule quality, including activity logic, constraints, lags, float, durations,



and critical path analysis.
- Experience with S-curves, manpower curves, progress measurement, planned versus earned hours, and schedule KPIs.
- Ability to review and challenge contractor schedules constructively, ensuring alignment with project milestones and the overall execution strategy.

You are:

- A creative and autonomous planner who can develop a plan without waiting for every detail to be provided.
