Requirements

Strong proficiency in Primavera P6; working knowledge of MS Project or similar scheduling tools.
Strong understanding of EPC project sequencing (engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning) and interdependencies.
Ability to develop, monitor, and interpret schedule performance metrics (critical path, float, SPI, earned value).
Experience integrating contractor, vendor, and supplier schedules into master schedules.
Strong proficiency with project controls functions such as earned value management (EVM), schedule performance index (SPI), cost control, risk management, and reporting.
Excellent organizational and time-management skills with attention to detail.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the capacity to identify schedule risks and recommend recovery strategies.
Capability to clearly communicate complex scheduling data to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This includes the capability to create and update schedule scenarios in real time during scheduling workshops.
