Project Overview:

We are building high performing teams to deliver engineering, procurement and construction management for complex heavy civil projects and looking for motivated, hands-on, collaborative innovators, doers, and problem solvers. The projects are hydropower generation facilities with scope including dams, spillways, tunnels, inlet/outlet structures, hydromechanical equipment, mechanical and electrical systems, and site facilities and buildings. This is your opportunity to be part of history-making projects.

Job Summary:

The 4D / SYNCHRO Planner will support project planning, construction sequencing, and schedule visualization through the development, maintenance, and analysis of integrated 4D models using SYNCHRO 4D and related planning tools. This role bridges traditional project controls scheduling with digital construction planning by linking the project schedule to 3D design models to support constructability reviews, execution planning, stakeholder communication, and progress analysis.

The successful candidate will work closely with project controls, construction, engineering, field supervision, digital delivery, and project management teams to create accurate, meaningful, and actionable 4D planning deliverables that improve schedule certainty, construction sequencing, interface management, and overall project execution performance. #LI-ML1

Major Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and update 4D construction models using SYNCHRO 4D by linking approved project schedules with 3D models.
• Integrate schedule activities with model elements to visualize construction sequence, workface planning, installation logic, and project execution strategy.
• Support the creation of baseline, forecast, and scenario-based 4D simulations.
• Support schedule reviews by identifying logic gaps, sequencing issues, access constraints, interface conflicts, and constructability concerns.
• Provide visual schedule analysis to support mitigation planning, recovery plans, and project management decision-making.
• Contribute to schedule risk discussions by providing visual insight into critical path, near-critical activities, congestion, and execution constraints.
• Facilitate 4D planning workshops with project stakeholders, including construction, engineering, procurement, subcontractors, and client representatives.
• Support integration with other digital tools, including Primavera P6, Navisworks, BIM platforms, reporting tools, and project data environments.
• Performs schedule monitoring, including identifying critical activities and updating functions for specific applications, disciplines, or specialties
• Develops critical path schedule reports and schedule performance metrics
• Determines critical-path activities for assigned discipline or specialty work activities supporting interdisciplinary requirements

Education and Experience Requirements:

• Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) in engineering, construction management, business or related field and 10-13 years of relevant experience or 14-17 years of relevant work experience
• Demonstrated experience with SYNCHRO 4D or similar 4D planning software

Required Knowledge and

Skills:

• Advanced level of knowledge of engineering, procurement, contracts, construction, and startup work processes, as performed by Bechtel
