Planning & Project Controls Engineer, GAMA Ireland, ESB 220 kV Corduff Substation

START Date: 
April, 2004
END Date: 
October, 2004

ESB 220 kV Sub-Station Project, Dublin, Ireland. We were a team of  4 in the site office. I was responsible for planning, QS and procurement. One of the planners reported on-site progress, while the other helped with the tracking of material, labor and equipment. I was making sure that what we needed was on site when we needed it, be it material, labor or equipment. Resource planning and manhours tracking was another aspect of this position. Setting up the baseline plan and tracking any deviations from it was my responsibility. I used to attend monthly review meetings with the client (Electiricty Supply Board). By the end of the project I was also involved in claims reporting and forensic planning. The challenge lied in the duration of the project. Given the weather conditions it was a success to finish the project in 7 months.
