  • Establish and maintain key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor schedule, cost, and productivity across multiple workstreams.
  • Develop and refine reporting templates and dashboards for management and executive visibility (e.g., Power BI, Excel-based reports).

Planning & Scheduling Support

  • Provide guidance in developing and maintaining comprehensive project schedules using the critical path method (CPM).
  • Review and validate project schedules for logic, sequencing, and integration of all project phases.
  • Support the Master Scheduler in resolving conflicts, identifying impacts, and performing schedule recovery analysis.
  • Facilitate cross-discipline schedule integration, including dependencies between engineering, procurement, construction, and validation.
  • Cost Control & Performance Tracking

  • Track and report project cost performance against budgets and forecasts, identifying variances and recommending corrective actions.
  • Implement and maintain earned value management (EVM) principles where applicable.
  • Assist in the development of project budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections in collaboration with finance and project teams.
  • Risk & Change Management

  • Support project risk identification, tracking, and mitigation planning in coordination with project managers.
  • Monitor and manage project change requests, ensuring proper evaluation of schedule and cost impacts.
  • Maintain change logs and provide impact assessments for decision-making.
  • Reporting, Analysis & Continuous Improvement

  • Prepare and deliver consolidated project controls reports to stakeholders, integrating schedule, cost, risk, and performance data.
  • Conduct "what-if" scenario analysis to assess potential impacts and recommend strategies.
  • Participate in lessons-learned reviews to improve future planning and execution.
  • Provide mentorship and training to project team members on project controls best practices.
  • Other :

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, business, or related field.
  • 10+ years' experience in project controls (scheduling, cost, risk, change) within engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) environments.
  • Strong scheduling expertise, including CPM and Primavera P6, with ability to provide backup support to a Master Scheduler.
  • Proven experience in cost control, earned value management, and budget forecasting.
  • Familiarity with project risk and change management processes.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Experience helping stand up or mature project controls functions in a complex project environment.
  • Knowledge of large industrial, nuclear, or regulated facilities preferred.
  • Desired Qualifications & Skills :

  • Background in engineering planning or construction management with a focus on engineering and construction planning and scheduling guidance.
