Job Description Summary
The Lead Engineering Planner will be responsible for developing, integrating, and maintaining high-quality engineering project schedules across HDNU Gas Power Engineering. This role supports proposal, contract, and execution phases, ensuring schedule rigor, transparency, and alignment with business objectives. The position plays a key role in improving planning maturity, schedule quality, and delivery performance across projects and portfolios.
Job Description
Engineering & Project Scheduling
• Develop, release, and maintain complex, integrated engineering project schedules using Primavera P6, ensuring alignment with scope, execution strategy, and contractual requirements.
• Execute project schedules for assigned Gas Power Business scopes (including Gas Turbine/Generator/Steam Turbine/HRSG and Balance of Plant engineering), ensuring schedule integrity throughout the project lifecycle.
• Convert proposal and tender schedules into fully integrated contract schedules, adjusting activity logic, durations, and sequencing based on finalized engineering scope.
• Prepare and manage Tender Time Schedules (TTS), Overall Time Schedules (OTS), Master Time Schedules (MTS), System Time Schedules (STS), and portfolio-level schedules as required.
• Establish and maintain baseline schedules, manage revisions (Rebaseline), and control schedule changes through formal change logs.
Proposal & Contract Support
• Partner with ITO and Proposal teams to define engineering support requirements, develop schedule assumptions, scope matrices, and delivery sequences.
• Participate in deviation and clarification meetings, supporting schedule alignment during proposal and contract finalization.
• Provide schedule inputs for contract negotiations and support preparation of contract documentation.
Schedule Control & Performance Monitoring
• Monitor, update, and control project schedules based on engineering progress inputs (including PLM interfaces).
• Identify and analyze critical and near-critical paths, float consumption, and schedule risks; proactively recommend mitigation and recovery actions.
• Evaluate schedule impacts resulting from customer-requested scope changes and support Extension of Time (EOT) and "as-impacted" schedule analyses.
• Perform micro-planning for critical or delayed work packages and develop "what-if" scenarios to support recovery planning.
Reporting, Analytics & Communication
• Prepare and release project dashboards, KPIs, progress reports, and management presentations for steering committees and senior leadership.
• Develop and maintain S-Curves, progress measurement systems (Earned value management), and forecast completion metrics for engineering scopes.
• Issue weekly look-ahead schedules, monthly progress reports, and on-time delivery (OTD) performance reports.
• Track and report engineering and customer deliverable milestones (LD).
• Clearly communicate schedule status, risks, and recovery plans to cross-functional stakeholders.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
• Partner with senior engineering planners to define and continuously improve planning standards, templates, and data management practices.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, and external vendors to maintain schedule rigor and execution discipline.
• Capture lessons learned and planning best practices during project close-out to support continuous improvement across HDNU Gas Power Engineering.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical , Electrical or Civil engineering.
• Experience in Engineering Planning, Project Planning, or Equipment Planning within complex industrial or EPC environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Primavera P6 scheduling and reporting. Desired Characteristics
• Demonstrated leadership in planning, scheduling, and cross-functional coordination.
• Proven expertise in baseline management, float analysis, schedule optimization, and risk- based planning.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex schedule data into actionable insights.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; confident presenting to senior leadership and customers.
• High energy, self-starter mindset with a consistent track record of delivery and execution excellence.
• Experience supporting proposal, contract, and execution phases in large-scale power or industrial projects.
• Demonstrated behaviors aligned with The Vernova Way.
