Planning Engineer

• Prepare and update baseline schedules and detailed work plans for insulation, fireproofing, and scaffolding using Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or equivalent. • Develop work breakdown structures, activity logic and sequencing, durations, calendars, milestones, and resource loading based on scope, quantities, productivity assumptions, site conditions, and execution strategy. • Prepare short-term, weekly, and monthly look-aheads by discipline and work front, covering scaffold erection, modification, inspection, handover and dismantling, plus insulation and fireproofing installation and close-out. • Plan work-front readiness, including access, area release, surface and substrate readiness, preceding-work completion, permits, approved drawings or procedures, and material and equipment availability. • Coordinate with project management, construction, site supervision, engineering, quality, safety, procurement, logistics, and client teams on priorities, constraints, interfaces, approvals, and resources. • Plan manpower, equipment, and materials for all disciplines, including mobilization, delivery dates, storage and handling, transfers, and demobilization. • Coordinate sequencing and interfaces with piping, mechanical, structural, coating, and other disciplines to protect completed work, avoid rework, and enable access and handover. • Track planned versus actual progress, productivity, quantities, resource utilization, and schedule performance using project-approved progress rules and measurement units. Maintain discipline-level records. • Maintain records of completed quantities, work-front status, scaffold requests, erection and dismantling dates, inspections, handovers, changes, and constraints for progress and commercial reporting. • Include inspections, client hold points, approvals, applicable testing, handover, and close-out milestones for insulation and fireproofing, and scaffold inspection and release requirements. • Identify critical activities, access and work-front constraints, delays, productivity issues, material shortages, and resource conflicts; communicate risks and recommend corrective actions and recovery plans. • Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports, dashboards, progress curves, manpower histograms, quantity reports, and schedule narratives with traceable data. • Assess schedule impacts of scope changes, revised priorities, and site instructions; maintain records supporting variations, extensions of time, and delay assessments. • Support tenders with scope review, quantity and duration estimates, sequencing, productivity assumptions, and resource forecasts. • Coordinate planning for shutdowns, turnarounds, maintenance campaigns, and construction projects, including work windows, access readiness, shift coverage, and handback milestones. • Ensure plans reflect approved scaffold designs, safety requirements, client and site procedures, quality requirements, and project constraints; escalate unsafe or unready work fronts. • Bachelor’s degree in civil, Mechanical, Construction Engineering, or a related discipline. • Typically 3–5 years of planning or project-controls experience in industrial services or construction, preferably in oil and gas, petrochemical, power, infrastructure, or similar projects. • Planning experience covering insulation and fireproofing as well as scaffolding is preferred; for a combined-scope role, experience in at least two disciplines should be demonstrated. • Understanding of insulation and fireproofing systems, installation sequences, materials, work-front readiness, quality/inspection stages, productivity, and quantity measurement. • Understanding of scaffolding systems, erection, modification, inspection, handover and dismantling sequences, access requirements, and site logistics. • Proficiency in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel, including schedule development, updates, reporting, and resource loading. • Experience with progress measurement, quantity tracking, critical-path analysis, schedule risk identification, recovery planning, and change management. • Familiarity with project documentation and applicable client specifications, quality requirements, and safety procedures. Relevant planning, project-management, insulation/fireproofing, or scaffolding training is an advantage.
