Bogdan Janicijevic
@bogdanjanicijevic
Planning Manager with 8+ years leading EPC scheduling and project controls for LNG, gas, petrochemical, and refineries.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Planning Manager with 8+ years’ experience delivering planning, reporting, and schedule leadership across large industrial, LNG, gas, petrochemical, and refinery projects in Europe and Russia. I’m hands-on in project controls, focused on keeping schedule integrity strong from bidding through live EPC delivery.
My core strength is EPC and construction planning capability: developing Level 3–4 Primavera P6 schedules, running critical path analysis, identifying bottlenecks, and driving congestion mitigation. I produce executive progress reporting, S- curves, and look-ahead plans to translate the plan into actionable control and clear decisions.
I also lead planning teams effectively—managing multi-project planning and reporting teams from central offices on complex, high-value programmes. I build and maintain key contract artifacts like MDR and PSR, develop tender schedules and MDR/PSR for alignment, and support stakeholders with claims documentation and cross-functional communication.
In my current role as Head of the Planning Department at LLC Velesstroy (Moscow), I control planning and reporting for projects including Ammonia and Urea projeck in Kingisepp, and ARCTIC LNG 2 Modules Fabrication in Murmansk. I bring a site-to-boardroom mindset, ensuring construction schedules, progress reporting, and client/internal presentations stay aligned to engineering and procurement milestones.
