Senior Planning Engineer – Smart City / Infrastructure Projects

Job Description

The Senior Planning Engineer is responsible for developing, managing, and monitoring the overall project schedule for large-scale infrastructure and technology integration projects under the Smart City program. The role requires close coordination with multidisciplinary teams (civil, MEP, ICT, OT, and system integrators) to ensure that project timelines, milestones, and deliverables are achieved. While previous Smart City experience is an advantage, candidates with strong planning and scheduling expertise in large infrastructure or MEP projects are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities :

• Develop and maintain the Master Project Schedule (resource and cost loaded) using Primavera P6, covering all project phases from design to handover.
• Integrate and align schedules from various subcontractors and vendors to ensure logical sequencing and visibility of dependencies.
• Identify and monitor critical paths, risks, and milestones, and proactively recommend mitigation measures.
• Collaborate with project managers, engineers, sub-contractors and track owners to ensure accurate progress updates and forecasts.
• Prepare and present weekly and monthly progress reports, including delay analysis and progress variance summaries.
• Update and maintain the approved project baseline to reflect actual progress and incorporate verified weekly updates received from subcontractors and track owners.
• Communicate any delay events to the relevant stakeholders in a timely manner and ensure such events are properly documented and recorded through official channels.
• Support the project management and contracts team in developing delay analyses and EOT submissions.
• Participate in weekly progress meetings, planning meetings, design reviews, and coordination workshops with internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure all schedule updates, baselines, and revisions are properly documented and controlled.
• Adopt a proactive approach in identifying potential schedule risks, constraints, or resource bottlenecks early and propose corrective actions to prevent delays
