Support change control, risk/opportunity planning, and scenario modelling
Coordinate with commercial and project management on impacts to cost, resource and delivery dates
Maintain programme governance, assumptions, and audit trail

Proven P6 planning experience on construction projects (civils, M&E in water)
Solid understanding of construction sequencing, constraints, and permits/access
Strong stakeholder management with PMs, site teams, and subcontractors
Confident producing clear programme narratives, not just schedules

Nice to have
