Overview
MEP Project Planner Jobs in Sharjah at LUCKY FABRICATORS STEEL CONSTRUCTION FZE LLC
What This Role Is About
MEP work is where a lot of projects quietly fall behind — cable routing depends on ductwork clearance, which depends on structural sign-off, which depends on a dozen other trades. This role exists to keep that tangle of dependencies visible and under control, so MEP never becomes the reason a project slips.
Responsibilities
Schedule Development
- Build detailed MEP schedules in Primavera P6, covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire fighting works
- Sequence MEP activities correctly against civil/structural progress — no MEP schedule works in isolation
- Break down MEP scope into a clear WBS covering design, procurement, installation, testing, and commissioning phases
- Account for long-lead material items (chillers, panels, pumps, generators) in the schedule realistically
Progress Monitoring
- Track MEP installation progress against baseline across all disciplines (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire fighting)
- Identify where MEP is falling behind structural/civil handover and flag it before it becomes a bottleneck
- Maintain rolling look-ahead schedules for MEP site teams
- Monitor testing & commissioning (T&C) milestones separately, since these often get missed in general schedules
Coordination
- Work closely with MEP site engineers, subcontractors, and the main contractor’s planning team
- Coordinate interface points between MEP and civil/structural/finishing trades
- Track shop drawing and material submittal approval status, since MEP procurement is often the critical path driver
- Liaise with procurement on equipment delivery timelines and their schedule impact
Reporting
- Prepare MEP-specific progress reports, S-curves, and completion percentage tracking
- Present MEP schedule status in project coordination meetings
- Support EOT claims related to MEP delays, particularly where they stem from late civil handover or design changes
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline
- 4–7 years of planning/scheduling experience specifically within MEP projects
- Strong Primavera P6 skills, with genuine understanding of MEP-specific scheduling logic (interface dependencies, T&C sequencing)
- Familiarity with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire fighting scope of work
- Experience tracking material submittals and long-lead procurement items
A Plus
- Experience coordinating MEP schedules on projects with multiple subcontractors
- Exposure to BIM/clash detection coordination
- Prior experience specifically in the UAE
