H.G.

Infra Engineering

Limited is seeking an exceptionally sharp, techno-commercial Planning Specialist to drive project scheduling, progress optimization, and commercial integration across our core infrastructure verticals—Highways, Railways/Metro, and Transmission & Distribution (T&D;).

This is not a standard scheduling role. You will act as the central brain linking engineering design, field execution timelines, and contract/commercial dynamics. The ideal candidate blends deep expertise in critical path scheduling with a keen appreciation of how engineering design choices and commercial terms impact project velocity, cash flows, and claim entitlements. Key Responsibilities

1.

Master

Planning & baseline Controls

Develop, baseline, and manage integrated Master Project Schedules (L1 to L4) across multi-modal EPC projects (Highways, Railways, T&D;).

Establish robust S-curves, resource histograms, cash flow forecasts, and critical path analysis (CPM/PERT) to ensure early identification of project risks.

Standardize planning templates, Progress Measurement Systems (PMS), and Reporting Dashboards across project sites.

- Design & Engineering Integration

Integrate Design & Engineering deliverables into the master construction schedule,



ensuring drawing releases align with site procurement and construction sequences.

Evaluate the time-impact of design revisions, GAD approvals, vendor drawings, and ROW/Authority clearances.

Work closely with design teams to flag potential bottlenecks before they cause site downtime.

- Commercial & Contractual Alignment

Interface with Commercial and Contracts teams to link project milestones with billing schedules, cash flow projections, and price variation adjustments.

Quantify delay impacts, analyze schedule variance, and build airtight technical/data-backed substantiation for Extension of Time (EOT) claims, change of scope, and variation orders.

Monitor key financial metrics linked to schedule progress, including Earned Value Management (EVM), cost performance indices (CPI), and schedule performance indices (SPI).

4.

Progress

Monitoring & Risk Mitigation

Conduct rigorous periodic reviews with site execution teams to identify productivity gaps, equipment utilization lags, and material bottlenecks.

Perform what-if scenarios and delay fragmentation analyses to suggest actionable crash programs or sequence quick-tracking.

Deliver clear, high-impact executive summaries and progress reports for senior management leadership reviews.

Required





Profile & Qualifications

Education & Credentials

Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Civil / Ops/ SCM/ Infra) from a recognized Tier-1 or Tier-2 institution (IITs, NITs, BITS, state premier colleges).

Post-Graduate Qualification: MBA / PGDOM / PGP in Industrial Management / Project Management from IIM Mumbai (formerly NITIE) is strongly preferred.

PMP, PMI-SP, or Primavera P6 certifications are an added advantage.

Professional

Experience

10 to 15 years of core hands-on planning and project controls experience in the Indian EPC / Infrastructure sector.

Proven track record in at least two of the following domains: Highways (NHAI/HAM/EPC), Railways/Metro, or Transmission & Distribution (T&D;).

Solid experience in deploying planning software at scale on large-value linear and nodal infrastructure projects. Technical & Commercial Competencies

Tools Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6, MS Project, TILOS (for linear infrastructure), and advanced Excel/Power BI dashboarding.

Techno-Commercial Acumen: Strong understanding of FIDIC / EPC contract conditions, delay analysis methodologies (Impacted As-Planned, Time Impact Analysis), and cost control frameworks.

Design Appreciation: Ability to review structural, alignment, and site execution drawings to evaluate constructability sequences.

Leadership

Traits

Strategic mindset with a strong analytical and problem-solving focus.

High balance of technical rigor with executive communication skills to engage project directors, clients, and consultants seamlessly.
