Key Responsibilities

1. Project Planning and Scheduling

One of the primary responsibilities of the Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer is to develop comprehensive project plans and schedules. This includes creating detailed timelines, identifying project milestones, and ensuring all tasks are properly allocated and sequenced. The engineer uses project management software, such as Primavera P6 or MS Project, to build and maintain the project schedule. A well-defined schedule helps in monitoring progress and ensures that all teams remain on track to meet deadlines.

2. Cost Control and Budget Management

The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer is responsible for ensuring that the project stays within budget by monitoring costs and expenditures. This includes preparing cost estimates, tracking actual costs against the project budget, and reporting any variances. You will work closely with the finance team to ensure that all financial aspects of the project are properly managed and controlled. Effective cost control is essential to minimizing project risks and ensuring profitability.

3. Risk Management and Mitigation

Another key responsibility is identifying potential risks that could impact the project timeline, cost, or quality. The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer conducts risk assessments and develops mitigation strategies to minimize project disruptions. This includes analyzing risks related to resources, technology, and external factors, and putting contingency plans in place. Early identification and mitigation of risks help keep projects on schedule and prevent costly delays.

4. Progress Monitoring and Reporting

The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer plays a vital role in monitoring the progress of projects. This includes regularly tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), comparing actual performance against planned objectives, and identifying any deviations. You will prepare and present progress reports to project managers and stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is informed about the project’s status. These reports provide crucial information for decision-making and help ensure the project remains on course.

5. Coordination with Stakeholders

Effective communication and collaboration with various stakeholders are essential for project success. The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer coordinates with different teams, including project managers, engineers, contractors, and clients, to ensure that everyone is aligned with project objectives. This includes participating in project meetings, providing updates on progress, and resolving any issues that arise during the project lifecycle.

6. Change Management

During the course of a project, changes in scope, resources, or schedules may occur. The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer is responsible for managing these changes and ensuring that they are documented, approved, and integrated into the project plan. This includes assessing the impact of changes on project timelines, costs, and resources, and ensuring that stakeholders are kept informed of any adjustments. Effective change management ensures that projects adapt smoothly to changing circumstances without compromising quality or deadlines.

7. Quality Assurance

The Senior Project Control & Planning Engineer ensures that all project activities meet the required technical and quality standards. This involves monitoring compliance with industry regulations, company policies, and project specifications. You will work closely with quality control teams to ensure that all deliverables meet the required quality levels before final approval. Maintaining high-quality standards is essential for the success and credibility of the project.
