Planning Engineer

Job responsibilities:

The planning engineer, project risk analysis, is responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing project schedules with a strong focus on schedule risk assessment and mitigation. The role involves applying Primavera P6 Risk Analysis (PRA) and Monte Carlo simulations to identify, quantify, and manage schedule uncertainties for large-scale EPC projects.

• Develop, maintain, and update integrated project schedules using Primavera P6 in accordance with project execution strategies.
• Perform schedule risk assessments utilizing Primavera P6 Risk Analysis (Risk Module).
• Build and maintain risk registers in coordination with project teams identifying threats and opportunities affecting project timelines.
• Execute Monte Carlo simulations to assess schedule confidence levels and probabilistic completion dates.
• Analyze risk outputs including P-values (P50, P80, P90) and critical risk drivers.
• Provide recommendations for risk mitigation strategies and schedule optimization.
• Prepare and present risk analysis reports, dashboards, and executive summaries for management and stakeholders.
• Conduct what-if scenario analyses to evaluate the impact of schedule changes, delays, and mitigation plans.
• Coordinate with engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to ensure accurate risk inputs.
• Support baseline schedule development, progress measurement, and forecasting with a risk-informed approach.
• Ensure compliance with corporate project controls standards, procedures, and best practices.

Key qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical, or related discipline).
• 5-10 years of experience in planning and project controls within EPC / oil & gas / petrochemical projects.
• Proven experience with Primavera P6 and Primavera Risk Analysis.
• Strong hands-on experience performing Monte Carlo risk simulations for project schedules.
• Solid understanding of project risk management methodologies and probabilistic scheduling concepts.
• Experience working on mega projects or international EPC projects is highly preferred.
• Primavera P6 (expert level).
• Primavera Risk Analysis (PRA).
• Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
• Schedule risk modeling and probability analysis.
• Progress measurement and forecasting.
• Advanced MS Excel (data analysis and reporting).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate complex risk data clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Excellent presentation and reporting skills.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and results-driven.
• Ability to work effectively in multicultural and multidisciplinary project teams.
• PMI-SP (Scheduling Professional) (preferred).
• PMI-RMP (Risk Management Professional) (preferred).
• AACE certification (PSP / DRMP) (preferred).
