Summary
Planning engineer with 10 years building and controlling baseline programmes for infrastructure, oil and gas and building projects up to AED 6bn. I develop resource-loaded Primavera P6 schedules, run critical-path and delay analysis, produce weekly look-aheads and monthly progress reports and prepare extension-of-time submissions that hold up under review. I translate the programme into plain decisions for project directors and site teams.
Experience
- Own the integrated master schedule (18,000 activities) for a mixed-use island development with 4 main contractors
- Recovered 11 weeks of slippage through re-sequencing, night shifts on the critical façade path and earlier MEP access
- Prepared time-impact analyses for 3 EOT claims; 94% of the time sought was awarded
- Scheduled engineering, procurement and construction for two gas-processing trains; built progress-measurement systems on earned value
- Produced monthly S-curves and dashboards for the client's PMC; reporting cycle cut from 6 days to 2
