about the role
Strategic HQ Planner (Office-Based)
Program Development: Lead the creation of master work programs during the tender and pre-construction stages, ensuring competitive yet realistic SCOD (Scheduled Commercial Operation Date) targets.
Integrated Strategy: Collaborate with Engineering, Procurement, and Finance to align long-lead procurement (Modules, Inverters, BESS) with technical milestones.

System Optimization: Continuously enhance planning protocols and mentor site-based teams on MS Project best practices.
Execution Site Planner (On-Site)
Physical Progress Tracking: Drive daily and weekly planning activities at the project site, ensuring the physical "boots-on-the-ground" progress matches the baseline.
Subcontractor Control: Oversee subcontractor schedules for civil, structural, and electrical works, identifying potential bottlenecks before they impact the critical path.
Risk & Mitigation: Proactively identify site-specific constraints—such as weather patterns, soil conditions, or logistical delays—and develop recovery schedules to maintain project continuity.
TNB/ST Liaison: Prepare accurate progress reports required for regulatory audits and Interconnection Facility (IF) milestones.
Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil/Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent.
Experience: 3–8+ years in construction planning, with a strong preference for candidates with experience in Utility-Scale Solar or Power Infrastructure.
