Job description

Job Title- MEP Planning Engineer/ MEP Planner Industrial Construction

Reports to: Project Manager/ Planning Manager/ Project Director

Job Purpose

To develop, monitor, and control integrated MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing/Firefighting) schedules for industrial construction projects, ensuring ontime delivery, optimal resource use, and compliance with contract milestones and client requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Planning & Scheduling

• Prepare baseline and updated MEP schedules (Level 3/ Level 4) covering engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover.
• Develop logiclinked, resource and costloaded programmes in Primavera P6/ MS Project, aligned with the main construction master programme.
• Define work breakdown structure (WBS), activity codes, and calendars specific to industrial MEP scopes (HVAC, piping, electrical, instrumentation, fire protection, etc.)
• Prepare lookahead plans (24 weeks) for site execution teams and subcontractors.

2. Progress Monitoring & Control

• Track physical progress vs baseline; update schedules weekly/ monthly and generate Scurves, histograms, and progress reports.
• Conduct site visits to verify installed quantities, sequences, and constraints; reconcile with subcontractor returns.
• Perform critical path analysis and highlight activities impacting project completion.
• Identify delays and risks; propose mitigation and recovery plans (resequencing, additional shifts, logistics changes).

3. Coordination & Interface Management

• Coordinate with design, procurement, construction, QA/ QC, HSE, and commissioning teams to ensure accurate activity sequencing and realistic durations.
• Align MEP schedules with civil/ structural and process equipment milestones to avoid clashes and site congestion.
• Support material procurement planning by linking longlead items and delivery dates to the schedule.

4. Reporting & Documentation

• Prepare weekly/ monthly progress reports, including:
• Planned vs actual progress
• Milestone status
• Manpower and equipment histograms
• Forecast completion dates and critical issues.
• Maintain planning records: programme narratives, change logs, delay event logs, and correspondence related to time impacts.
• Support claims and variation analysis with schedule impact assessments where required.

5. Commissioning & Handover Support

• Integrate testing and commissioning activities into the MEP schedule (precommissioning checks, systemwise commissioning, client walkdowns).
• Track punch list and snag closure activities for MEP systems to support timely handover.

Key Deliverables

• Approved MEP baseline schedule and periodic updates (P6/ MSP files + PDFs).
• Lookahead schedules for site teams and subcontractors.
• Progress reports (weekly/ monthly) with Scurves, histograms, and narrative.
• Critical path and delay analysis reports.
• Manpower/resource forecasts and cashflow inputs for MEP scope.
• Commissioning and handover schedules for MEP systems.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/ Electrical/ Electrical & Electronics/ HVAC/ Building Services Engineering (or related).
• 8-15 years of planning experience in industrial construction/ EPC/ infrastructure, with at least 5–10 years focused on MEP (factories, plants, warehouses, process facilities, large industrial buildings).
• Strong exposure to main contractor environment and multidisciplinary industrial projects.

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6 and/ or MS Project; strong Excel skills for data analysis and reporting.
• Ability to read and interpret MEP drawings, specifications, BOQs, and method statements.
• Understanding of industrial construction sequences: underground services, pipe racks, equipment setting, cable trays, HVAC ducting, substations, etc.
• Familiarity with FIDIC/ standard construction contracts, milestones, and delay analysis concepts is preferred.
• Knowledge of BIM/ Navisworks for coordination is an advantage (not mandatory).

Behavioral Competencies

• Strong analytical and problemsolving skills.
• Good communication and coordination abilities with site and office teams.
• High attention to detail and data accuracy.
• Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
• Proactive, solutionoriented approach to delays and bottlenecks.
