Break down design scope into work packages, deliverables and milestones, and link them to a clear work breakdown structure. Plan and forecast resource and man-hour requirements with discipline leads, and track resource loading against the programme. Monitor actual progress against the baseline, analyze variances and the critical path, and recommend recovery actions for delays. Coordinate with project managers, design discipline leads, sub-consultants and clients to collect progress inputs and align interdependencies, including review and approval periods. Assess the schedule impact of design changes, client instructions and scope variations, and support the preparation of related time-impact records. Prepare weekly and monthly progress reports, dashboards and presentations for project teams, management and clients. Provide early warning of schedule risks and delays to project managers and the PMO. Support the PMO in standardizing planning procedures, templates and reporting across engineering and design projects, and contribute to portfolio-level reporting. Maintain the integrity of schedule data, including baselines, updates and archived versions. Mentor junior planners and share good planning practice across the team. Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement of planning and scheduling processes. Education and Certifications: Bachelor's degree in engineering, preferably in a design discipline (for example architecture, civil, structural or MEP), from a recognized university. Professional certifications such as PMP, PMI-SP or Primavera P6 certification will be an advantage.
