Reporting directly to Senior Management, you will help ensure engineering resources are effectively planned and aligned with project requirements, priorities and delivery objectives.
Some Of Your Key Duties Include
- Developing resource programmes to inform Tenders which are cost-loaded and logic-driven, showing the dependencies between activities and having the deliverables and milestone dates explicitly identified.
- Build and maintain resource plans across engineering disciplines (mechanical, process, civils, electrical, commissioning, structural, design and production), aligned to the project delivery schedule.
- Provide detailed resource extracts from master programmes to the Design, Engineering, Production & Delivery Teams.
- Incorporate Contractor, Sub-contractor, Supplier and any third-party programmes into our overall programme.
- Monitor, track and regularly update progress and status of resource programmes.
- Keep projects on track by identifying critical activities and evaluating remedial actions to help resolve constraints.
- Identify resourcing gaps, clashes and over-commitments early, and propose practical options to resolve them.
- Track utilisation, availability and the skills matrix for the engineering team, keeping planning tools current and accurate.
- Develop and maintain regular resourcing reports and dashboards for engineering and project leadership.
- Maintain and improve the resource planning tools and processes used across the engineering department.
- Attend project and engineering review meetings to keep resource plans grounded in real project status.
