- Assist with regular progress updates, look-ahead programmes, and prospective delay analysis
- Participate in planning meetings, take minutes, and track follow-up actions
- Help compile progress reports and dashboard updates for internal and external stakeholders
- Assist in the coordination of subcontractor and supplier inputs into programmes
- Share this post

- Familiarity with planning software such as Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project is desirable (training can be provided)
- Good understanding of construction processes and sequencing
- Strong IT skills (MS Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
