Brownfield Planning and Control Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Brownfield Planning and Control Engineer to support planning, scheduling, and cost control activities on brownfield projects — modifications, revamps, tie-ins, and upgrades executed within live/operating oil & gas, petrochemical, or industrial facilities. The role requires close coordination with operations, HSE, and engineering teams due to the added complexity of working within an active plant environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules for brownfield modification/revamp works using Primavera P6
• Integrate planning with plant shutdown/turnaround schedules and operational constraints
• Monitor progress against baseline, track critical path, and highlight schedule risks related to tie-ins, permits, and plant access windows
• Coordinate closely with operations and HSE teams to align work windows with live-plant safety and isolation requirements
• Prepare progress reports, S-curves, and KPI dashboards for management and client review
• Support cost control activities — budget tracking, forecasting, variance analysis, and change management
• Conduct what-if scenario planning for shutdown/tie-in sequencing and contingency planning
• Track and report on Permit to Work (PTW) and Management of Change (MOC) related schedule impacts
• Support preparation of look-ahead schedules and resource-loaded plans for site execution teams
• Assist with delay analysis and documentation for claims related to brownfield-specific constraints (access restrictions, isolations, etc.)

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, or related discipline)
• 5–10 years of experience in planning/project controls, with specific brownfield/revamp project experience in oil & gas, petrochemical, or industrial plants
• Strong proficiency in Primavera P6; working knowledge of cost control tools/ERP systems
• Solid understanding of shutdown/turnaround planning and live-plant work constraints
• Familiarity with PTW, MOC, and isolation/lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) processes as they affect scheduling
• Advanced MS Excel skills for reporting and cost tracking

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with both planning and cost control (integrated project controls background)
• PMP, CCP, or PSP certification
• Prior experience with EPC/EPCM contractors or asset owner/operators in the Gulf region
• Familiarity with risk-based scheduling and Monte Carlo simulation tools
