Planning Engineer - High-Voltage Transmission Lines

About the role

This Planning Engineer position covers the scheduling and progress control of high-voltage overhead transmission line projects, from engineering and procurement through tower erection, conductor/OPGW stringing, testing and commissioning. The role supports the Project Manager with schedule analysis, progress measurement and recovery planning.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and update the detailed project baseline schedule using Primavera P6 or equivalent.
• Plan and monitor engineering, procurement, civil works, tower erection, conductor/OPGW stringing, testing and commissioning activities.
• Monitor actual progress against the approved baseline, identify delays, critical activities and schedule risks, and prepare recovery programs and mitigation plans.
• Coordinate with construction, engineering, procurement and project management teams, and with subcontractors and suppliers, to collect accurate progress information.
• Prepare weekly and monthly progress reports, schedule updates, look-ahead schedules and schedule analyses (productivity, critical path, schedule variance).
• Maintain accurate project records and planning documentation.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of planning experience on similar high-voltage overhead transmission line projects; 400 kV experience highly preferred.
• Immediate availability is mandatory.

Required skills

• Strong proficiency in Primavera P6 or equivalent.
• Good understanding of OHL construction activities (foundations, tower erection, conductor/OPGW stringing, testing and commissioning).
• Strong knowledge of progress measurement, critical path analysis, schedule control and delay analysis.
• Excellent analytical, coordination and reporting skills.
