Loughborough, UK | January 2024 – Present

Project Brief: Supporting planning and project controls across a £22M UK commercial and defence construction portfolio delivered under NEC4 contract conditions.

• Develop and maintain logic-linked Level 3/4 Primavera P6 programmes, managing over 1,200 resource-loaded activities across three active project environments.
• Build and manage programme WBS structures by building zone, trade and construction phase, integrating subcontractor programmes into the master schedule and monitoring progress against key milestones.
• Apply architectural and construction knowledge to review drawings, assess buildability, validate construction sequences and challenge activity durations, methodologies and programme assumptions.
• Undertake critical path, float and delay analysis, identifying programme risks, assessing the impact of design changes and late information, and recommending mitigation and recovery measures.
• Prepare 4-week lookahead programmes and coordinate weekly progress reviews with five multi-trade subcontractor teams, resolving sequencing, access, logistics, material delivery and interface constraints.
• Monitor site progress, analyse planned-versus-actual performance and produce fortnightly reports, S-curves and resource histograms using Excel, maintaining reliable programme and delay records in line with relevant SCL Delay Protocol recommendations.
• Support NEC4 contract administration through CEMAR, providing programme evidence and time impact assessments for Early Warnings and Compensation Events, including as-planned versus as-built delay assessments.
• Develop Power BI progress dashboards from P6 data and support tender/pre-construction planning through construction sequencing, duration assessments, resource productivity and logistics reviews.

• Assisted the Senior Planner with critical path reviews, programme variance analysis and what-if scenario assessments, evaluating the potential impact of design changes and construction constraints on planned activities.
• Prepared 4-week lookahead programmes for site teams, coordinating subcontractor activities, material deliveries, temporary works and site access requirements.
• Maintained contract communications and change-control records through CEMAR, tracking Early Warnings, Compensation Events, submissions and contractual response deadlines under NEC4 procedures.
• Updated progress records using daily site reports and subcontractor returns, helping maintain accurate programme records and identify causes of delay.
• Assisted with planned-versus-actual performance reporting, including S-curves and CPI/SPI metrics, providing progress information to the Senior Planner and Project Manager.
• Coordinated with subcontractors, design consultants and site teams to resolve programme interfaces, sequencing issues and delivery constraints.

Brief: Design-to-construction scheduling for multidisciplinary industrial plant developments (Water/Gas/Pet Drink facilities).

• Managed regular schedule updates within Primavera P6 from design through to mechanical completion and final commissioning across civil, structural, and process MEP disciplines (380+ activities per project).
• Optimized critical path logic pipelines under the direction of the Senior Planner to accelerate execution, supporting handovers 10 days ahead of target baselines and capturing £50,000 in operational cost avoidance.
• Produced comprehensive architectural drawing layouts in AutoCAD and Revit, intentionally syncing design release packages with site installation logic to minimize on-site rework.
• Monitored site progress through weekly visits, adjusting short-term look-ahead programs based on actual productivity rates and emerging constraints.

Project Brief : Multi-site high-end residential housing and regional infrastructure developments.

• Produced comprehensive architectural drawing packages and coordinated technical design information across structural, civil, and MEP disciplines to ensure site readiness.
• Assisted Senior Planners in translating architectural concepts and design logic into practical construction sequences, helping draft WBS frameworks and activity strings within Primavera P6.
• Conducted daily site inspections to verify that physical construction progress accurately matched the design intent and master program parameters.
• Tracked material procurement timelines, design release dates, and information required dates, compiling field data to support monthly S-curve progress updates.
• Gained foundational on-site experience in traditional, reinforced concrete (RC), and masonry sequencing that underpins current capabilities in engineering logic and look-ahead planning.
