Develop and maintain detailed project schedules using tools like Primavera P6, incorporating resource allocation, milestones, and critical path analysis.
Monitor project progress through Earned Value Management (EVM) techniques, analyzing variances in cost and schedule to implement corrective actions and optimize performance.
Coordinate with engineering, procurement, production, and quality assurance teams to resolve technical issues, manage change orders, and ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASME, API, ISO).
Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies to address potential delays, supply chain disruptions, or safety concerns in fabrication processes.
Foster strong relationships with clients, vendors, and internal stakeholders through regular communication, status updates, and performance reporting.
Oversee budget management, including cost forecasting, invoice approvals, and financial reporting to maintain profitability.
Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations, promoting a culture of zero incidents across projects.

Minimum of 8–10 years of experience in project management within the pipe fabrication, manufacturing, or heavy industrial sectors.
Proven expertise with Primavera P6 for project scheduling and resource management.
Strong understanding of Earned Value Management (EVM) principles, including the ability to interpret EVM metrics and apply them to real‑time project adjustments.
Demonstrated leadership experience managing multidisciplinary teams in a fabrication or construction environment.
In‑depth knowledge of pipe fabrication processes, materials (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel), and welding techniques.
Proficiency in Primavera P6, Excel, and other project management software; familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., SAP or Oracle) is a plus.
Excellent communication, negotiation, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to handle high‑pressure situations.
Commitment to safety protocols and quality management systems, with certifications such as Six Sigma being advantageous.
