The position plays a key role in improving planning maturity, schedule quality, and delivery performance across projects and portfolios.

Roles and Responsibilities

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 or Electrical 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.
