What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Senior Planning Engineer, Planning Manager, or Lead Planner role in construction, civil, MEP, data centers, or infrastructure projects.

At Corodex Industries LLC, I develop contractual baseline and target-completion schedules in Primavera P6 for two concurrent infrastructure projects. I also prepare look-ahead schedules and variance reports to help management make corrective decisions.

At Binladin Contracting Group LLC, I developed schedules for Sharjah International Airport’s New Passenger Terminal Building and residential infrastructure projects. I prepared testing and commissioning schedules and supported EOT claims and delay-impact analyses.

Across construction, MEP, and oil and gas projects, I’ve worked on schedule development, delay analysis, and progress reporting. My work has included projects such as Dubai Creek Harbour, Tilal Al Ghaf, and GASCO Ruwais, using Primavera P6, MS Project, and MAXIMO.
