Assistant Planning Manager @ Red Sea Global
About
With over 12 years of experience in project planning and controls, I’ve worked on large-scale infrastructure and real estate developments in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. My involvement spans the full project lifecycle — from design and procurement planning to execution and handover. Currently contributing to a giga-project at Red Sea Global, I’m responsible for managing integrated schedules, supporting tender evaluations, and aligning contractor progress with project goals. I work closely with both the construction delivery team on site and the TPMO team, maintaining a strong balance between day-to-day site coordination and central program management direction. I lead Lean Planning and scrum sessions to keep teams aligned and focused, and I stay continuously engaged with design, procurement, and site teams to ensure the schedule remains practical and delivery-driven. I also manage change control, assess the impact of variations on the master schedule, and support risk identification and mitigation. My role includes preparing high-level presentations and progress reports that support senior management in making timely and informed decisions.
