Published: 11 days ago

​Own integrated planning, cost, and risk for brownfield tie-ins and small projects ($10–$80m) across gathering stations/CPFs. You’ll set baselines, keep the critical path honest, and drive clear, no-fluff reporting to the Project Manager.

What you’ll do

  • Build & manage L1–L4 schedules in Primavera P6; track critical path, slippage, and recovery plans.

  • Run cost control: budgets, commitments, VOWD, accruals, forecast to complete; align with Finance on closes.

  • Chair monthly cycle: progress S-curves, EV (CPI/SPI), risk register, and change control.

  • Partner with Construction, SCM/Contracts, QA/QC, and HSE to validate vendor progress and variations.

  • Keep data clean across P6 + cost tool (EcoSys/Prisma/SAP/Excel); enforce document control handshakes.

  • Support claims/time-impact analysis with Contracts when needed.

You bring

  • 12+ years in project controls on onshore O&G (brownfield preferred).

  • Strong P6 + cost/risk fundamentals, comfortable in lean teams (no big PMO).

  • Clear English reporting; Arabic a plus. Degree in Engineering/QS/Construction or similar.

Location & conditions

  • Basra base with site travel; secure camp/transport provided.

  • Rotation 28/28 (resident possible). H2S/BA, medicals required.
