EXPERIENCE

SINOHYDRO Saudi Arabia

Planning Engineer – Jafurah Industrial Support Facilities Project

Jafurah, Saudi Arabia Sep 2025 – Present

• Developed and maintained master baseline schedule using Primavera P6 for industrial support facilities (workshops, warehouses, utilities, access roads), integrating civil, structural, and MEP scopes across 500+ activities with critical path tracking.

• Issued 3-week and 6-week look-ahead schedules to construction teams, proactively identifying resource conflicts and preventing delays before impacting critical path.

• Implemented weekly progress measurement using earned value management (EVM) with S- curves and SPI/CPI analysis, generating daily/weekly/monthly reports for Saudi Aramco client.

• Coordinated with procurement and logistics to align material delivery schedules with construction sequences, eliminating idle time and optimizing manpower/equipment allocation.

• Conducted root cause analysis for schedule deviations, proposed recovery plans (crashing/fast- tracking), and maintained change management logs for variations.

• Integrated subcontractor schedules (MEP, fire protection, HVAC, earthworks) into master plan, resolving inter-trade sequencing conflicts.

• Prepared time impact analyses for variation orders and submitted revised baselines for client approval while maintaining as-built records.

Power Construction Corporation of China Ltd

Planning Engineer – Tarbela Dam T5 Extension Project (1,530MW Hydropower)

Swabi, Pakistan October 2021 – June 2023

• Developed and maintained master baseline schedule using Primavera P6 and MS Project for 1,530MW hydropower extension, integrating civil works (intake, tunnels, power house) and electro-mechanical scopes (turbines, generators, switchyards).

• Monitored critical path for penstock installation, turbine-generator assembly, and grid synchronization, ensuring adherence to power commissioning deadlines for client (WAPDA).

• Implemented earned value management (EVM) to track planned vs. actual progress, calculating SPI and CPI weekly, providing early warning of deviations.

• Issued 3-week and 6-week look-ahead schedules to civil and E&M teams, flagging resource constraints and inter-discipline dependencies.

• Conducted delay analysis for schedule slippages (concrete curing, equipment delivery), proposing recovery strategies including resource reallocation and sequence adjustments.

• Generated daily/weekly/monthly progress reports (S-curves, bar charts) for internal management and WAPDA.

• Developed detailed schedules for E&M installations: cable tray/conduit routing (500+ fixtures), grounding/bonding/generator testing, and fire detection system (200+ detectors, NFPA 72).

• Prepared time impact analyses for variation orders and maintained as-built records in Unifier and Aconex.

• Key Achievement: Reduced schedule slippage by 15% through proactive look-ahead planning and resource leveling for E&M installations.
