Senior Technical Planning Engineer

The Senior/Technical Planning Enineering will be responsible for carrying out the technical planning, programme, developing methodolgoies for technical submission for tenders. The role requires a deep understanding of construction methodologies, efficient planning, and the ability to coordinate across multiple disciplines to enhance tender proposals:
**Duties and Responsibilities**

**1. Tender Document Review & Technical Analysis**
- Carry out detailed technical review of tender documents, including drawings, specifications, and contract conditions.
- Identify technical risks, constructability challenges, and opportunities for optimization.
- Identify and prepare the design feasibility and buildability scores, and evaluate various construction methodologies for each tendering project to find the best competitive and compliant methods.

**2. Strong communication with internal and external parties**
- Work closely with Quantity Surveyors, consultants, and the design team to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring a coordinated approach in tender preparation.
- Collaborate with inter-department to develop construction sequencing models and optimize site logistics.
- Engage with subcontractors and suppliers to assess alternative construction methodologies and cost-saving opportunities for value engineering solutions.

**3. Feasibility & Constructability Assessments**
- Develop and prepare technical feasibility studies to assess constructability, engineering practicality, and indentify site constraints.
- Attend site showround, to evaluate site conditions and provide practical solutions for efficient site planning and logistics.

**4. Risk Identification & Mitigation Planning**
- Identify and assess potential technical risks associated with the project scope.
- Ensure that risks are clearly communicated to the tender team, allowing proactive planning and solutions.

**5. Preparation of Method Statements & Quality Proposals**
- Develop comprehensive method statements detailing the proposed construction methodology and execution plan.
- Prepare high-quality technical proposals that align with project requirements, ensuring compliance with industry requirements and practices, safety regulations, and client expectations.
- Work with the BIM team to transform construction methodologies into visualized BIM models for better communication of construction concepts.

**6. Tender Programming & Construction Planning**

Develop detailed construction programs, including:

- Critical activities affecting the programme planning.
- Construction planning and coordination among different work disciplines.
- Productivity-driven sequencing is used to enhance efficiency and identify the activities that could potentially cause project delays.
- Resource planning to optimize workforce, materials, and equipment usage.
- Ensure that all project constraints, site access limitations, and logístical challenges are incorporated into the construction program.

**7. Tender Preparation and Presentation**
- Prepare internal tender briefings for new tenders to review the scope of work, challenges, risk factors, suitable construction sequences, and timeline.
- Ensure that the tender team is fully aware of the technical approach, potential obstacles, and mitigation plans.
- Develop and present site logistics plans and construction sequencing.Indentifiy project challenges, risk mitigation plans, and construction techniques and methodologies.

**8. Site Planning & Construction Methodologies**
- Consider site constraints, material storage areas, access points, and traffic management plans to ensure efficient site planning.
- Implement good industry practices and leverage past experience to optimize project execution and constructability.

**9. Integration with BIM & Digital Technologies**
- Work closely with the BIM team to develop 3D and 4D visualizations showcasing construction methodology, sequencing, and planning.Utilize digital construction tools to improve project execution strategies and enhance decision-making in tender submissions by integrating the use of technology.

**Required Qualifications**:

- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
- A minimum of 8 years of experience in project planning and management within the construction or engineering industry.
- Proficiency in project management software (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project, poweroint).
- Strong understanding of engineering principles, construction methodologies, and project management best practices.
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Desired Skills and Attributes:

- Strong leadership and team management skills.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Strategic thinker with a proactive approach to project planning and risk management.
- Commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
