Drive project delivery and adherence to the Project Principles of delivering a safe, in time, on budget and to quality project. Contribute to delivery of standard, consistent and realistic project plans reflecting the assessed risk parameters of the project. Responsible for the planning activities and deliver together with the other planning resource. In the Project Services team you report to the Lead planner.
Accountabilities can be summarized as follows:
* Identify, implement and maintain the complete planning controls structure needed, including Key
Performance Indicators for the project based on the contracting strategy, execution plan and the identified
risks.
* Contribute to Employer Contractor reporting requirements in the contracts to enable an efficient planning
control structure to stay on top of project development and provide early warnings of contractors / suppliers
getting behind on progress as per plan.
* Understand the list of plans required to execute the project sub-elements and their interface to other subelements. Develop the activities, logic, resources, and progress for the project sub-elements, leading to the
creation of the baseline schedule and its subsequent maintenance.
* Develop, implement, and comply with the planning and progress monitoring procedures.
* Review, assess, challenge approve Contractors' Planning and Progress Measurement & Monitoring procedures.
* Review Contractors' updated work program showing actual progress and identify areas of weakness and
propose/advise means and methods for recovery, if any, as well as new critical activities.
* Drive, manage and ensure completeness of the development of the activities, logic, resources and progress for
the integrated project schedule, leading to the creation of the baseline and its subsequent maintenance.
* Conduct the schedule monthly progress update, forecast, critical path, and trend analyses for assigned
elements, including any impact from interface areas. Implement and maintain the status reports. Provide
regular and comprehensive schedule status reports for Project and sub-elements and relevant input for the
monthly project report.
* Assess and incorporate the impact of approved changes and any deviations from the key project targets and
milestones, including productivity monitoring and identification of alternate approaches to optimize the plan.
* Liaise with and challenge Package leads, Project Engineering personnel to ensure proper understanding of the
key schedule sensitivities and drivers
* Translate the project's risk profile into the (probabilistic) risk analysis and understand the output, including the
key risk drivers for the possible range of schedule completion dates. Track the criticality of the main paths to
completion and float consumption.
* Work closely with the Project team to assist them in considering risks, opportunities and uncertainties in
decision making and with other Project Services team members to ensure that quantitative assessments of
risk are the basis for regular probabilistic cost and schedule analysis during the Execute phase.
* Work closely with the Contracting & Procurement team and Package Managers to ensure commitments are
clear and closely monitored and imbedded in the project controls.
* Establish good working relationships with the relevant suppliers to stay on top of cost developments,
commitments, schedule development and risks.
