NU-Project Execution Lead Planner

Job Description Summary The Lead Engineering Planner will be responsible for developing, integrating, and maintaining high-quality engineering project schedules across HDNU Gas Power Engineering. This role supports proposal, contract, and execution phases, ensuring schedule rigor, transparency, and alignment with business objectives. The position plays a key role in improving planning maturity, schedule quality, and delivery performance across projects and portfolios. Job Description Engineering & Project Scheduling •    Develop, release, and maintain complex, integrated engineering project schedules using Primavera P6, ensuring alignment with scope, execution strategy, and contractual requirements. •    Execute project schedules for assigned Gas Power Business scopes (including Gas Turbine/Generator/Steam Turbine/HRSG and Balance of Plant engineering), ensuring schedule integrity throughout the project lifecycle. •    Convert proposal and tender schedules into fully integrated contract schedules, adjusting activity logic, durations, and sequencing based on finalized engineering scope. •    Prepare and manage Tender Time Schedules (TTS), Overall Time Schedules (OTS), Master Time Schedules (MTS), System Time Schedules (STS), and portfolio-level schedules as required. •    Establish and maintain baseline schedules, manage revisions (Rebaseline), and control schedule changes through formal change logs. Proposal & Contract Support •    Partner with ITO and Proposal teams to define engineering support requirements, develop schedule assumptions, scope matrices, and delivery sequences. •    Participate in deviation and clarification meetings, supporting schedule alignment during proposal and contract finalization. •    Provide schedule inputs for contract negotiations and support preparation of contract documentation. Schedule Control & Performance Monitoring •    Monitor, update, and control project schedules based on engineering progress inputs (including PLM interfaces). •    Identify and analyze critical and near-critical paths, float consumption, and schedule risks; proactively recommend mitigation and recovery actions. •    Evaluate schedule impacts resulting from customer-requested scope changes and support Extension of Time (EOT) and “as-impacted” schedule analyses. •    Perform micro-planning for critical or delayed work packages and develop “what-if” scenarios to support recovery planning. Reporting, Analytics & Communication •    Prepare and release project dashboards, KPIs, progress reports, and management presentations for steering committees and senior leadership. •    Develop and maintain S-Curves, progress measurement systems (Earned value management), and forecast completion metrics for engineering scopes. •    Issue weekly look-ahead schedules, monthly progress reports, and on-time delivery (OTD) performance reports. •    Track and report engineering and customer deliverable milestones (LD).
