Senior Planning Engineer

Presentation:

Summary

· Lead the development, integration, and control of the project schedule and planning systems across engineering, procurement, construction, pre‑commissioning, commissioning and start‑up (EPCx/CSU).

· Provide rigorous schedule analysis, progress measurement, forecasting and reporting to ensure safe, on‑time, on‑budget delivery in accordance with H2GS objectives and HSE requirements.

· Act as the planning focal point for stakeholders (Client, EPCs, OEMs, construction, CSU, operations), ensuring a single, credible source of schedule truth and timely decision support.

Objectives

· Own the integrated planning framework that underpins cost, resource, and scope control, and drive proactive schedule risk management and recovery planning.

Key Accountabilities

· Planning Leadership: Establish and maintain L1–L4/L5 schedules and the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS); define planning standards, calendars, coding structures, and rules of credit.

· Schedule Development & Control: Build and baseline the overall schedule; maintain logic, float, constraints; manage change control and scenario/what‑if analyses for mitigation and acceleration.

· Progress Measurement & Reporting: Implement physical % complete, earned value rules, quantity tracking and man‑hour curves; issue weekly and monthly progress reports, critical path and near‑critical analysis, float/contingency consumption.

· Engineering & Procurement Integration: Monitor engineering deliverables vs IFC needs; align MTO, requisitions, POs and logistics to construction/CSU need‑dates; track vendor schedules and sub‑supplier impacts.

· Construction & CSU Interface: Synchronise systemisation, subsystem handovers, punch clearance, MC/Pre‑Comm/Comm windows and RFSU milestones; ensure ePTW windows and SIMOPS are reflected in the plan.

· Primavera System Administration: Act as first‑line admin for Primavera P6: user profiles & privileges; global calendars; EPS/OBS; standard WBS/RBS, project/activity/resource codes; maintain portfolio integrity.

· Portfolio & Interfaces: Maintain inter‑project links (utilities, power, infrastructure) and alignment of external interfaces; conduct portfolio health checks and integrated impact assessments.

· Reporting & KPIs: Generate corporate and project KPIs (SPI/CPI, PPC/Last Planner, critical path stability, schedule variance, risk exposure); produce S‑curves, histograms, dashboards (Power BI/MS Excel).

· Schedule Risk: Perform qualitative and (where applicable) quantitative schedule risk analysis (QSRA/Monte Carlo); develop risk‑response and recovery plans with discipline leads.

· Governance & Assurance: Lead schedule reviews, readiness gates, and independent planning assurance; ensure compliance with contract requirements and change management processes.

People Leadership: Lead and mentor site planners/schedulers; ensure consistency with standard durations and coding structures; develop local capability.

Qualification & Experience

· Degree in Engineering or related discipline (B.Sc./B.Eng/M.Sc.). Professional membership preferred.

· 10+ years’ experience planning large industrial EPC/CSU projects (energy, process, metals); hydrogen/green steel experience advantageous.

· 5+ years Primavera P6 (incl. admin), with SAP PS exposure; evidence of integrated planning across Eng/Proc/Constr/CSU.

· Demonstrated delivery of integrated L3–L5 schedules, portfolio links, and KPI/reporting automation.

· Evidence of schedule risk analysis (QSRA), recovery planning and claims/time‑impact analysis is desirable.

· Fluency in English; Swedish is beneficial but not mandatory. Valid right to work in Sweden (or mobility pathway).
