Project Planning and Scheduling:

• Develop, maintain, and update comprehensive project schedules for steel fabrication and construction projects.
  
• Utilize project planning software (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project) to create detailed timelines and work breakdown structures (WBS).
  
• Coordinate with various departments (design, procurement, production) to ensure accurate project milestones and deliverables.
  
• Ensure that all project schedules align with the contract’s scope, specifications, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
  

Resource Allocation:

• Assess and allocate resources, including labor, materials, and equipment, to meet project requirements.
  
• Work closely with the production and procurement teams to ensure resource availability and avoid delays.
  
• Monitor labor and material usage, providing forecasts and updates to the project team.
  

Project Monitoring and Progress Tracking:

• Track and report project progress against the schedule, ensuring key milestones are achieved.
  
• Update the project schedule regularly and communicate any deviations to the project team and stakeholders.
  
• Analyze critical path activities and float values to identify potential risks or delays.
  
• Implement recovery plans to mitigate the impact of delays and keep the project on track.
  

Cost Control and Budgeting:

• Assist in developing project budgets, focusing on resource costs and timeframes.
  
• Monitor project costs against the approved budget and highlight any discrepancies.
  
• Provide cost-related reports to management and offer suggestions for improving cost efficiency.
  

Risk Management and Problem Solving:

• Identify risks related to project timelines, materials availability, and resource constraints.
  
• Develop contingency plans and take proactive measures to address potential issues.
  
• Collaborate with the project team to resolve on-site challenges that may affect the schedule.
  

Coordination with Stakeholders:

• Work closely with project managers, site engineers, production teams, and clients to ensure clear communication of project progress.
  
• Attend regular project meetings and provide updates on the status of scheduling, resource management, and potential risks.
  
• Liaise with contractors and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of materials and services.
  

Quality Assurance and Compliance:

• Ensure that all planning processes comply with the company’s standards, client specifications, and relevant industry codes.
  
• Support quality control teams by integrating quality milestones into the project schedule.
  
• Document and report any non-conformities or deviations from the project plan.
  

Reporting and Documentation:

• Prepare regular progress reports, including schedule updates, resource reports, and risk assessments, for senior management and clients.
  
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of project schedules, milestones, and resource allocations.
  
• Provide documentation and feedback on lessons learned at the end of each project.
