• Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Liaise effectively with logistics contractors, equipment manufacturers, and internal plant management teams to maintain alignment and resolve on-ground challenges
• Project Scheduling & Delay Mitigation: Prepare, maintain, and track the project schedule; identify potential delays early and implement corrective measures proactively
• Commercial Invoice Evaluation: Undertake commercial evaluation of contractor invoices, verify scope alignment, and certify payments in accordance with contractual obligations
• Project Closeout Documentation: Ensure completion of all project testing, commissioning records, and formal closeout documentation per established standards

Skills Required:

• Proven expertise in the dismantling, relocation, and erection of Balance of Plant (BOP) and auxiliary industrial systems
• Strong project management acumen — ability to manage multiple workstreams, vendors, and stakeholders simultaneously in high-pressure site environments
• Solid proficiency in AutoCAD (plant layout reading, equipment positioning) and MS Project (scheduling and progress tracking)
• Excellent written and verbal communication — mandatory for stakeholder coordination, report preparation, and commercial correspondence
• Demonstrated ability to function effectively in fast-paced, high-stakes industrial environments with extended on-site presence
• Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills with the capacity to resolve technical and logistical challenges on the ground
• Collaborative orientation with the ability to work across cross-functional teams, OEMs, contractors, and client organizations

Special Requirements:

• Prior execution-level experience in industrial plant relocation is strictly mandatory — candidates without this background will not be considered
