Job Description/Specification:
Mind Stream is hiring a Planning Engineer for a 6-month construction project in Wakrah, Qatar. The role will focus on developing and controlling the baseline programme for a tanks-focused construction package, covering concrete works, pits and sumps, embedded steel, metal works, epoxy coating, painting, leak testing, chemical disinfection, and underground/aboveground piping.
The successful candidate will manage project schedules, monitor progress against the approved baseline, identify critical-path risks, and coordinate recovery actions to maintain project milestones and completion targets.
About This Role
You will be responsible for project planning, scheduling, progress measurement, critical-path analysis, look-ahead planning, and client-facing progress reporting. Strong experience with Primavera P6, construction planning, S-curves, resource loading, and baseline programme management is highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the baseline programme for tank concrete works, pits/sumps, embedded steel, metal works, coating/painting, and UG/AG piping to termination points.
- Develop detailed pour-sequence logic covering formwork, reinforcement, curing periods, and embedded-steel installation.
- Manage critical QA/QC hold points for tank leak testing and chemical disinfection.
- Prepare rolling 2–4 week look-ahead schedules and monitor planned versus actual progress.
- Measure physical progress and prepare S-curves, milestone reports, forecasts, and management/client progress reports.
- Perform critical-path and float analysis to identify delays and potential schedule risks.
- Develop recovery plans and coordinate sequencing between tank ring drains, UG piping, PC installation, concrete, and metal works.
- Update schedules for epoxy coating and painting works following structural completion.
- Monitor material deliveries, manpower, equipment, and resource loading against programme requirements.
- Coordinate with construction, QA/QC, engineering, and subcontractor teams to identify and resolve schedule clashes.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline.
- Proven experience in construction planning and project scheduling.
- Hands-on experience with baseline programme development, progress measurement, and schedule control.
- Experience with tank construction, concrete works, piping, or related infrastructure projects is preferred.
- Experience managing pour sequences, curing periods, and construction hold points.
- Ability to conduct critical-path analysis and prepare S-curves and progress reports.
- Understanding of QA/QC release requirements for leak testing and chemical disinfection.
- Strong coordination and communication skills for client-facing project reviews.
- Immediate availability is required.
