  • Help project teams identify and quantify float and extensions of time
  • Maintain resource-loaded programs and support resource planning across the portfolio
  • Prepare program documentation for tender submissions, head contract requirements and client reporting

About you

  • Strong proficiency in Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or an equivalent platform
  • Solid understanding of construction methodology, trade sequencing and critical path analysis
  • Experience programming design and construct and general contracting projects
  • A tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Engineering or a related field
  • A logical, disciplined approach and strong analytical skills
  • Good working relationships with delivery teams and the ability to get realistic program inputs from them
  • The ability to explain complex schedule logic clearly to non-technical stakeholders
