Job description

About the role

Own and administer the Primavera P6 environment for the project - EPS and OBS structure, WBS, calendars, activity codes, user accounts and access rights, layouts, filters and global change rules. This is the system-administration role for P6 on the project. Deliver the approved P6 integration programme against fixed milestones: deploy and configure P6 within the first 45 days; validate the existing spreadsheet metrics and build the high-level automated roll-up timelines in months 2 to 3; establish the Level 1 baseline with predictive updating and critical path tracking in months 3 to 4. Build and maintain the project master schedule in P6 - baseline, recovery, look-ahead and detailed construction schedules - and keep it as the single source of programme truth for the project.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the project scheduling cycle in Primavera P6, including collecting site progress data, updating schedules, analyzing variances against baseline plans, and reporting critical path and float status.

• Review and evaluate contractors’ schedules, updates, recovery plans, and time-related claims to ensure compliance with contractual requirements, schedule logic, constraints, calendars, and resource assumptions.

• Analyze project delays and schedule impacts, including interface delays between contractors and work packages, and provide assessments using recognized delay analysis methodologies.

• Prepare schedule reports, progress updates, delay analyses, and recovery recommendations for project and senior management to support informed decision-making.

• Coordinate with contractors and project stakeholders on schedule compliance, progress recovery, and delay mitigation, while maintaining accurate records of schedule changes, delays, and instructions affecting project completion.

About you

• Demonstrable hands-on Primavera P6 experience as the schedule owner, not as a user of someone else's file. The candidate must have personally built, baselined and maintained a P6 schedule on a live construction project

• P6 system administration: EPS and OBS design, WBS structuring, activity coding, calendars, user and access administration, layouts, filters, global change, and import and export of XER and XML files

• Oracle Primavera P6 certification, or equivalent formal P6 training with evidence of completion

• 8 to 15 years of relevant experience in project planning and scheduling for large-scale construction projects, of which at least 5 years using Primavera P6 as the primary tool

• Experience in multi-prime, complex construction projects involving multiple contractors, trade packages and critical interfaces, including interface delays where responsibility has been contested

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, critical path methodology, schedule management, delay analysis and construction project controls

• Experience in reviewing and assessing EOT claims, delay claims, recovery schedules, acceleration measures and other time‑related contractual matters
