Summary

I am a result-driven Project Planner & Scheduler with over 5 years proven experience in developing and managing integrated project schedules across complex engineering and construction environments. I have expertise in creating and maintaining contract-compliant programmes, developing Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), establishing contract-compliant baselines, and applying Critical Path Method (CPM), resource loading, and CTR principles to optimize project performance while meeting client expectations. I continuously monitor progress against baseline plans, focusing on critical and near-critical activities to proactively identify risks, mitigate delays, and implement effective recovery strategies. I work collaboratively with project managers, engineers, procurement teams, subcontractors, and logistics functions to coordinate activities, resolve issues, and ensure smooth project execution. My strengths include schedule analysis, progress tracking, change impact assessment, and producing clear, data-driven reports such as S-curves, bar charts, and network diagrams to support stakeholder decision-making. I actively contribute to planning reviews, quality processes, and milestone tracking, ensuring projects remain aligned with key gateways and delivery objectives. With a strong analytical mindset, I apply structured methodologies and engineering principles to solve complex planning challenges, ensuring compliance with industry standards and continuous improvement across project delivery.
