<p>During the internship, my role involved working closely with the Planning &amp; Coordination&nbsp;</p>
<p>department to prepare and manage detailed project schedules, specifically for item rate and&nbsp;</p>
<p>EPC contract projects. I collaborated with the Planning team and client representatives to&nbsp;</p>
<p>understand the project scope, key deliverables, and contractual milestones. My responsibilities&nbsp;</p>
<p>included developing resource-optimized schedules aligned with overall timelines and&nbsp;</p>
<p>execution strategies. I also planned critical pre-construction activities &mdash; such as site&nbsp;</p>
<p>mobilization, resource allocation, and enabling works &mdash; to ensure smooth sequencing and&nbsp;</p>
<p>timely project commencement. This hands-on experience strengthened my practical&nbsp;</p>
<p>understanding of project planning, scheduling, and effective on-site coordination.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&bull; Prepare the project charter, thoroughly define and validate the scope of work, and&nbsp;</p>
<p>develop a comprehensive project schedule incorporating key milestones, deliverables,&nbsp;</p>
<p>and deadlines.</p>
<p>&bull; Estimate project timelines and resource requirements, ensuring alignment with&nbsp;</p>
<p>contractual obligations and overall execution strategy.</p>
<p>&bull; Collaborate closely with the Planning department and client representatives to develop&nbsp;</p>
<p>an optimized, realistic schedule, incorporating necessary adjustments and revisions as&nbsp;</p>
<p>needed.</p>
<p>&bull; Continuously monitor client inputs, design changes, and site conditions to update the&nbsp;</p>
<p>schedule proactively, ensuring accurate reflection of project progress and minimizing&nbsp;</p>
<p>potential delays.</p>
<p>&bull; Integrate resource planning and allocation into the master schedule to optimize&nbsp;</p>
<p>workforce, equipment, and material utilization throughout the project lifecycle.</p>
<p>&bull; Support the tracking of project performance against baseline schedules, identify critical&nbsp;</p>
<p>activities, and propose corrective actions to maintain project timelines and targets.</p>
