Tajdar Ahmed Siddiqui

Directing end-to-end project controls, master scheduling baselines, and predictive macro cost engineering ecosystems for mega-scale railway networks and Royal Commission industrial infrastructure portfolios. Serving as a strategic technical interface between ground execution teams and C-suite leadership. Key Outcomes & Functions: Governance Architecture: Authored and deployed customized corporate Project Controls Plans (PCP) defining baseline WBS/CBS frameworks, scheduling workflows, and executive validation rules. EVM Data Modeling: Engineered integrated Earned Value Management (EVM) data tracks to isolate cost/schedule variances early, creating predictive mitigation protocols to protect project margins. Claims Defense: Analyzed complex disruptions via forensic delay metrics and Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to successfully build, defend, and secure critical Extension of Time (EOT) submittals. Commercial Protection: Directed the validation of complex contractor payment streams and provided expert analytical support during variation order assessments and final commercial negotiations. Interface Synchronization: Managed critical path dependencies between heavy civil structures, railway signaling networks (ERTMS/ETCS), telecommunications, and government municipal permits. Executive Business Intelligence: Built interactive automated performance dashboards via Power BI, providing senior executives with real-time forecast-to-complete metrics and project risk indicators. Flagship Portfolios Commanded: Signalling & Telecommunications Works (STW-230): Mainline transit network expansion for Saudi Arabia Railway (SAR). Camel Crossing Bridges Portfolio: Structural safety bridges over active SAR rail tracks (Hail & Al Jouf Corridors). Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) Infrastructure: Comprising Dareen Beach Phase II, City Centre (Markaz Al-Idari) Site Development, and Downstream Site Development plots.

Commanded PMC-side project planning, independent baseline verification, and progress validation controls for high-volume public transit and railway structural overpass infrastructure works. Key Outcomes & Functions: Baseline Integrity Assessment: Evaluated and verified main contractors' baseline target schedules using Critical Path Method (CPM) analytics to preserve national milestone delivery windows. Progress Validation Audits: Conducted rigorous independent project progress audits, mitigating schedule constraints and preventing delivery drift. Constraint Resolution Coordination: Spearheaded technical liaison loops with engineering and field execution squads to systematically clear site bottlenecks and generate optimized look-ahead matrices. Flagship Portfolios Commanded: Railway Road Over Bridge (ROB) Ventures: Multi-site heavy structural overpass networks managed across regional logistics lines.

Executed fundamental project controls, structural scheduling, and pre-operational cost estimation workflows for a diverse portfolio of heavy civil engineering, metro rail systems, and urban infrastructure developments. Key Outcomes & Functions: Pre-Ops Value Engineering: Developed tender-stage master schedules, resource-loaded baseline paths, complex Bills of Quantities (BOQ), and cost estimates based on technical engineering drawings. Site-to-Office Data Integration: Standardized monthly and weekly look-ahead metrics, establishing field-data aggregation loops that improved reporting precision. Project Footprint: Contributed to the Jaipur Metro Rail Project (underground/elevated transit) and formulated master tender float control documentation for 11 Indian Railway Station redevelopments.
