Key Responsibilities Develop, maintain, monitor, and update detailed project schedules using Primavera P6. Prepare the Baseline Programme / Baseline Schedule in line with contractual requirements, project milestones, scope, and execution strategy. Develop project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), activity coding, calendars, relationships, constraints, milestones, and activity sequences. Prepare Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and detailed execution schedules as required. Establish project timelines covering engineering, procurement, fabrication, material delivery, construction, installation, erection, testing, commissioning, and handover. Prepare and maintain Master Programme, Detailed Programme, Recovery Programme, Catch-Up Programme, Revised Programme, Target Programme, and Look-Ahead Schedules. Monitor planned versus actual progress and identify schedule deviations, delays, slippages, and critical activities. Perform Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis and monitor critical path, near-critical activities, float, constraints, and key project milestones. Update Primavera P6 schedules based on actual site progress, engineering status, procurement status, fabrication progress, material delivery, and installation activities. Collect progress information from Project Engineers, Site Engineers, Construction Teams, Fabrication Teams, Procurement, Engineering, and Subcontractors. Establish and maintain progress measurement systems and project performance indicators. Prepare Daily, Weekly and Monthly Progress Reports and management dashboards. Develop and monitor S-Curves, Progress Curves, Manpower Histograms, Productivity Reports, Planned vs Actual Reports, and KPI Dashboards. Track Physical Progress, Engineering Progress, Procurement Progress, Fabrication Progress, Delivery Progress, Installation Progress, and Overall Project Progress. Prepare Weekly Look-Ahead Plans and coordinate with project teams to identify upcoming activities, priorities, constraints, and required resources. Monitor manpower, equipment, materials, productivity, and resource requirements against the approved project plan. Perform resource loading, resource leveling, manpower planning, and resource forecasting. Identify schedule risks and potential delays and provide mitigation, recovery, and acceleration plans. Prepare Delay Analysis, Time Impact Analysis (TIA), Extension of Time (EOT) support, Delay Events, and Schedule Impact Assessments when required. Maintain accurate records of baseline changes, schedule revisions, approved variations, delays, disruptions, and project milestones. Assist the Project Manager and Project Controls Manager in developing recovery strategies and corrective action plans. Coordinate with commercial and contracts teams regarding variations, claims, delays, disruption, EOT, and contractual milestones. Review subcontractor and supplier schedules and monitor their progress against approved programmes. Analyze subcontractor performance and identify schedule slippage and productivity issues. Prepare Earned Value Management (EVM) reports including PV, EV, AC, SPI, CPI, ETC, and EAC, where applicable. Monitor Planned Value (PV), Earned Value (EV), Actual Cost (AC), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Cost Performance Index (CPI). Assist in forecasting project completion dates, manpower requirements, resource requirements, and schedule risks. Ensure project schedules are aligned with contractual milestones, client requirements, IFC drawings, procurement schedules, fabrication schedules, and site execution plans. Participate in project progress meetings and present schedule status, progress updates, critical activities, delays, risks, and recovery actions. Maintain project control documentation and ensure timely submission of planning deliverables to management, consultants, and clients. Support the preparation of Project Execution Plans (PEP), Planning Procedures, Progress Measurement Procedures, and Project Control Procedures. Coordinate with engineering teams to monitor drawing submissions, approvals, RFIs, technical submittals, and engineering deliverables. Track procurement activities including material requisitions, purchase orders, material approvals, manufacturing, inspection, delivery, and site availability. Monitor construction activities such as fabrication, steel erection, installation, cladding, façade, aluminium works, PEB, structural steel, metal works, fit-out, and associated site activities. Maintain effective communication with project stakeholders to ensure timely identification and resolution of schedule constraints.
