Job description

Guildhall is running this search for a large EPC main contractor delivering government infrastructure works in the UAE, on a multi-year civil infrastructure contract in Abu Dhabi. The project has reached mobilisation stage and the client needs a planner in seat now, before works ramp up — notice period is the deciding factor.

Senior Planning Engineers on Abu Dhabi infrastructure contracts typically own the Primavera P6 baseline schedule for a single project, reporting into the project or commercial lead. On government-facing civil infrastructure works — roads, drainage, marine and rail — the role covers progress monitoring, delay analysis and support for EOT or claims positions. Demand for planners with strong P6 skills and GCC site experience tends to spike when large contractors mobilise new fixed-term contracts and need a schedule baseline set before works ramp up.
