For your organization specifically, I would make this a “Planning & Project Control Engineer” rather than only “Planning Engineer,” because you need someone who can connect planning + site progress + quantities + billing + material/machinery planning + management reporting. This would be more useful across your road, building, dam/anicut, earthwork and industrial civil contracts.
