About The Role

In your role as a Senior Forensic Planner, you will play a key role in investigating delays, disruptions, and deviations across the various EPCI packages of the Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm Project. In parallel, you will act as a senior project planner where necessary, supporting the wider PMO planning function and collaborating closely with package teams to ensure robust schedule management and project controls.

Key Responsibilities 

In this capacity, you will be responsible for:

• Conducting detailed forensic investigations of project schedules to identify critical path delays, disruption events, and out-of-sequence work.
• Performing root cause analysis on deviations from planned schedules, evaluating their contractual and operational implications.
• Assessing the impact of delay events on key milestones, completion dates, cost exposure, and the overall critical path, including evaluation of concurrent and compensable delays.
• Leading the preparation, validation, and substantiation of Extension of Time (EoT) claims in accordance with contractual mechanisms and evidentiary standards.
• Producing high-quality forensic reports and technical documentation outlining delay analyses, event causation, and mitigation strategies.
• Coordinating with legal, commercial, and package teams to support claims preparation and defense; participating in dispute resolution proceedings and, where necessary, providing expert input or testimony.
• Maintaining an auditable trail of schedule changes, delay events, and assumptions used for forensic analysis.

General Senior Planning Support:

In addition to the above responsibilities, you will be expected to support the planning team in day-to-day schedule management and project controls activities where necessary, including but not limited to:

• Reviewing and challenging Contractors’ schedule submissions for technical accuracy, realism, and compliance with contractual requirements.
• Maintaining and continuously improving Hai Long’s internal master schedule, ensuring full integration of all package schedules into the overall program timeline.
• Managing baseline schedule updates, schedule trend tracking, and progress analysis—including milestone tracking, float erosion, and critical path development.
• Conducting scenario planning and what-if analyses to support risk-based decision-making by the project management team.
• Supporting cost control and commercial teams by correlating schedule delays to financial impacts such as productivity losses, standby costs, or contract exposure.
• Coordinating time management resources and ensuring schedule alignment with project governance policies and management expectations.
• Developing tailored milestone schedules and progress updates for internal leadership and external stakeholders.
• Ensuring timely and accurate reporting on schedule status, progress curves, and forecast deviations.
• Facilitating alignment across package teams by securing schedule interfaces and dependencies between scopes (e.g., onshore and offshore substations, WTG, commissioning, handover).
• Leading schedule review sessions and contributing planning expertise across all phases of the project lifecycle.

Qualifications & Key Skills

• BSc or MSc degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field.
• Significant experience in project planning roles on large-scale infrastructure projects, preferably within the offshore wind, power generation, or energy sector.
• Proven track record in forensic delay analysis, claims preparation, and dispute resolution support.
• A team player with ability and motivation to work in a diverse environment with people of different cultural backgrounds.
• Strong understanding of dispute resolution processes
