Responsibilities

Our newest opportunity is for a talented Senior Planner to join our team based in Dubai, UAE.

We envisage success in this role to include:

• Planning, costing, and scheduling metrics and tools (work breakdown structure), collecting performance data (installed quantities, expended labor hours, and other progress measurements for direct hire and subcontract labor), tracking data (daily cost compilation and monitoring), analyzing and reporting (earned value, productivity, and risk analysis).
• Developing project master schedules, updating, monitoring, and reviewing contractor construction schedules, submittals, material delivery, procurement logs, and daily follow-up, in addition to necessary productivity measurement studies and associated corrective measures.
• Implementing ‘Work Order’ procedures in conjunction with QA/QC staff.
• Identifying and tracking changes, actual and potential, to the project scope, ensuring estimates of cost changes and schedule impacts are communicated to the client and project management.
• Participating in contract administration.
• Reviewing and approving contractor’s work program submissions.

Qualifications

To be successful in this dynamic opportunity, we envision that your career journey to date will include 12 years of work experience partnered with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering.

Experience gained from working on large-scale infrastructure-related projects in UAE is preferred.

We are excited to hear how you can partner with our award-winning team. All expressions of interest will be treated confidentially.
