Construction Planning Engineer

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Construction Planning Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in construction planning, scheduling, progress monitoring, and project controls, together with practical knowledge of Primavera P6. The role reflects the emphasis commonly placed in current Bahrain job postings on P6 scheduling, baseline programmes, critical path analysis, progress reporting, and recovery planning. Responsibilities include developing, maintaining, and updating detailed construction schedules using Primavera P6; preparing baseline programmes, work breakdown structures, milestones, master schedules, and look-ahead schedules; monitoring actual project progress against approved schedules; collecting progress updates from site teams and preparing weekly and monthly reports; identifying delays, critical activities, schedule risks, and potential project slippage; conducting critical path and planned-versus-actual progress analysis; preparing recovery schedules and recommending corrective actions for delayed activities; coordinating with Project Managers, Site Engineers, quantity surveyors, subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers; tracking manpower, materials, equipment, procurement, and subcontractor progress; preparing progress reports, S-curves, and planning updates; assisting with delay analysis, extension-of-time documentation, and claims-related planning when required; attending project progress meetings and providing scheduling updates; and maintaining accurate planning records to ensure that activities are properly sequenced. Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a related field and have 3 to 5 years of experience as a Planning Engineer in the construction industry, with strong experience in building, civil, commercial, or residential construction projects. Excellent practical knowledge of Primavera P6 is required, while knowledge of MS Project and advanced MS Excel is an advantage. Candidates should have a good understanding of work breakdown structures, the critical path method, baseline schedules, critical path, float, and construction sequencing, as well as experience in progress monitoring, schedule updates, recovery planning, and delay analysis. They must be able to read and understand construction drawings, bills of quantities, and project specifications, and should possess strong analytical, communication, coordination, and reporting skills, with the ability to work under pressure and meet strict project deadlines. GCC construction experience is preferred, and Bahrain experience is highly preferred. Candidates must be locally available in Bahrain, and immediate joiners are strongly preferred. Candidates with cancelled or transferable visas, or valid local status, are preferred. The ideal candidate should have practical site experience rather than being limited to administrative planning, and should be confident in Primavera P6, construction scheduling, progress tracking, critical path analysis, recovery planning, and coordination with site teams.
