Parsons Corporation is currently looking for an experienced Planning Engineer to join their prestigious construction supervision team for the Green Riyadh Project. This role is a perfect match for professionals who want to shape large-scale urban infrastructure while working with one of the most respected names in global engineering.
Role Overview
You will be the backbone of the project schedule, ensuring that everything from the initial baseline to final delivery stays on track. This isn’t a desk job where you just look at spreadsheets; you’ll be on-site, coordinating with engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to keep progress moving.
Your primary focus will be using Primavera P6 to develop, maintain, and monitor detailed schedules. You’ll be the person the leadership team turns to for accurate progress reports and risk mitigation advice. If you enjoy solving complex puzzles and keeping multidisciplinary teams aligned, this position offers the scope you need.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Managing and updating detailed project schedules using Primavera P6.
- Reviewing contractor baseline schedules and recovery plans to ensure they actually match the reality on the ground.
- Performing critical path analysis and identifying “what-if” scenarios before they become actual delays.
- Preparing high-level reports and dashboards for project management and the client.
- Handling extension of time (EOT) evaluations and assessing how changes in project scope impact your timeline.
- Mentoring junior team members and constantly looking for ways to improve internal reporting processes.
Key Eligibility & Requirements
Parsons is looking for someone with significant field experience. To be considered, you should meet the following criteria:
- Educational Background: A Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or Project Management.
- Experience: You need at least 7 to 10 years of experience in planning and scheduling specifically within large-scale infrastructure or urban development projects.
- Software Skills: Deep expertise in Oracle Primavera P6 is non-negotiable. Strong Microsoft Excel skills are also required.
- Technical Knowledge: You must have a firm grasp of CPM scheduling, variance analysis, and how to read contractor schedules within a supervision environment.
- Bonus Points: Candidates with PMP, PMI-SP, or AACE PSP certifications, as well as experience with Power BI and Saudi Arabian government projects, will stand out during the selection process.
