Location : Hybrid - Remote (work from home) with the possibility of relocation to
project site for short periods of time
Duration : Expected assignment will be from November 2025 through February 2026.
Role Purpose
The Workface Planner (WFP) is responsible for developing, packaging, and delivering Installation Work Packages (IWPs) to ensure safe, efficient, and timely execution of mechanical and piping, E&I, and Civil construction activities, respectively. The WFP acts as the integrator across engineering, procurement, and construction, driving readiness by ensuring that all resources (drawings, materials, tools, permits, manpower, and equipment) are in place before work begins. This role also emphasizes proactive constraint management, visual reporting, and integration with digital tools to improve predictability, productivity, and project outcomes for the duration of the contract.
Key ResponsibilitiesWork Package Development
- Develop, track, and refine IWPs across their full lifecycle (scope, assemble, release, execute, close-out).
- Review IFC drawings, isometrics, P&IDs, and specifications to define scope of work.
- Define job steps, manpower requirements, tools, equipment, and consumables needed.
- Ensure IWPs remain current, aligned with actual field execution plans, and not left partially complete.
- Use Virtual Construction Models and IPMS tools to generate, status, and report IWPs visually.
Resource Coordination & Interface Management
Act as interface between Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Quality teams.Actively facilitate identification and removal of execution constraints (materials, design, RFIs, permits, access, or safety).Drive the constraint removal process, escalating issues where necessary.Ensure availability of materials by coordinating with procurement, warehouse, and material control teams.Liaise with construction supervisors and foremen to confirm manpower and equipment readiness.Provide transparent visibility of material status, resource readiness, and IWP progress to leadership.Safety & Quality Compliance
Integrate safety procedures, risk assessments, and work permits directly into IWPs.Ensure all work complies with project specifications, codes, and HSE standards.Embed QA / QC requirements, ITPs, and welding procedures early into IWPs.Ensure all activities align with project quality specifications and procedures.Progress Tracking & Reporting
Produce and maintain visual dashboards showing IWP development, constraints, and execution progress.Monitor status of IWPs and report completion, hold-ups, and variances to planning / scheduling teams.Provide weekly IWP status updates to both project management and field supervision.Ensure alignment between IWP tracker, schedule updates, and construction status reporting.Support productivity analysis and progress measurement systems.Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in respective Engineering (or equivalent).5–8 years’ experience in construction planning, with specific field experience in installation, piping fabrication, erection, E&I, Civil and testing.Direct, hands-on experience with Workface Planning (WFP) / Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) processes.Experience with digital planning tools (IPMS, Virtual Construction Models, IWP trackers).Strong knowledge of P&IDs, isometrics, GA drawings, welding procedures, and piping installation processes.Proficiency with construction management software (Primavera P6, MS Project, or equivalent).Working knowledge of QA / QC and HSE practices in EPC / Oil & Gas / Power / Industrial megaprojects.Skills & Competencies
Strong planning and organizational skills.Excellent coordination and communication skills across disciplines.Ability to read and interpret complex mechanical and piping drawings.Proactive problem-solving mindset to resolve field constraints quickly.Digital fluency with planning platforms, visualization tools, and reporting systems.Predictability mindset : focus on IWPs driving measurable productivity and schedule adherence.Engagement across all phases of project lifecycle, from FEL through execution.
