Hi,
I joined as a planner with a small contractor (under 125 workers) working in the oil and gas industry. I am based in Singapore and my company is involved in pipeline and structural works within a refinery & a chemical plant. To elaborate a little more about me, I hold a masters degree in mechanical and manufacturing engineering from the UK. My question is how do I plan a career in planning?. I have a basic understanding of Primavera. I am also now able to break down the project scope (usually pipeline construction) into meaningful steps (WBS). Create a logical work sequence etc. I would like to know about any specific add on courses that I can take up to enhance my knowledge an advance myself as a planner. As the exposure I am getting from this company I currently work is very limited I would like to move onto a bigger company some time later, for that what are the skills I should be learning?. Would a short course on Project cost estimation be a nice choice?. Kindly help provide some answers for this confused beginner.
Regards,
Nithin
