Senior Planner - Data Centre

Turner and Townsend is recruiting a Senior Planner for its data centre team in Qatar, based in Doha. The role sits on the client side. The planner reviews the Primavera P6 programmes that contractors submit, checking the work breakdown, logic, constraints and resource loading against the client's specification, and recommends to the client whether to accept them.

Separate contract packages are brought together into one master programme. The claims content is direct. The postholder assesses contractors' extension of time claims, prepares the defence report and puts a recommendation to the client on each one.

The work covers critical path analysis to measure the effect of changes, the programme impact of variations and change orders, and mitigation plans. Schedule analysis uses earned value measures such as SPI and CPI. The planner also prepares resourcing plans, recommends where peaks should be levelled, and carries out progress measurement on site and verification of billing.

Turner and Townsend asks for more than ten years in project planning and scheduling and a track record on hyperscale data centre construction from inception to completion.

It wants expert use of MS Project and Primavera P3, P5 and P6, with Excel, PowerPoint and Power BI, experience of baseline management and of cost and schedule integration, and a sound grasp of construction methods and contract terms. Familiarity with PMI standards is listed. The post is permanent and full time.

The posting gives no salary and no closing date.
