THE OPPORTUNITY

Tridyne Projects is looking for a Senior Planner to support the planning, development, monitoring and reporting of project schedules across engineering and energy projects.

You’ll work closely with project managers, engineering leads, project controls and other stakeholders to develop and maintain integrated schedules that reflect project scope, deliverables, priorities and contractual milestones. You’ll help teams understand where projects stand, what’s coming next and where schedule risks need attention.

This role calls for more than updating dates in a schedule. You’ll need to understand how engineering deliverables, procurement activities, reviews, approvals and downstream project activities connect, and how changes in one area can affect the overall plan.

We’re looking for someone who can work independently, ask the right questions, challenge assumptions when needed and turn schedule data into information that helps project teams make better decisions.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop, integrate and maintain EPC project schedules covering engineering, procurement and construction-related activities, deliverables and milestones.
• Build and manage work breakdown structures, activity logic, sequencing, durations, dependencies and critical paths.
• Work with engineering leads, project managers, procurement and other disciplines to establish realistic schedules and confirm activity dates, interfaces and deliverable requirements.
• Maintain baseline schedules and regularly update forecasts to reflect actual progress, approved changes, emerging constraints and revised project priorities.
• Monitor schedule performance, identify variances and assess the impact of delays, changes and missed milestones on downstream activities and overall project delivery.
• Identify critical path issues, schedule risks and potential bottlenecks early, working with project teams to develop practical mitigation and recovery plans.
• Analyze schedule trends, float, dependencies and progress to provide clear insight into project status and potential impacts.
• Prepare schedule reports, progress curves, milestone forecasts and variance analyses for project managers, leadership and clients.
• Support progress measurement and reporting by validating schedule updates against information from project teams and other relevant sources.
• Assess proposed scope changes and schedule revisions, identifying potential impacts to project timelines and commitments.
• Participate in project planning and progress meetings, clearly communicating schedule concerns, priorities and actions required to keep work moving.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline
• 10+ years of experience in project planning, with at least 5 years in a project lead role within EPCM or major capital projects.
• Proficient in Primavera P6 (preferable) and/or MS Project
• Strong understanding of project delivery models and contracting strategies in the oil & gas or infrastructure sectors.
• Experience in resource loaded schedules a benefit, and a good understanding of earned value and forecasting
• PMP, CCP, or related certifications are advantageous.
• Demonstrated experience developing and maintaining integrated schedules for complex, multi-discipline projects.
• Strong knowledge of scheduling fundamentals, including work breakdown structures, activity logic, critical path analysis, float management, baselines and schedule forecasting.
• The ability to assess schedule performance, identify emerging risks and develop practical recommendations to address delays or constraints.
• Experience preparing schedule reports, progress updates, forecasts and variance analyses for project stakeholders.
• Confidence working directly with project managers, engineering teams and other stakeholders to obtain accurate updates, challenge assumptions and resolve scheduling issues.
• Clear communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to explain schedule impacts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
