Planner/scheduler

Dear Richard,

You need an Engineering Degree to be called an Engineer.

In order to be called a planner you need to do the tasks and duties of the Planner. Which are mainly to segregate the content of the Contractual Documents into a Time Schedule meeting the scope and time.

With time and experience, planners tend to get certified by International Institutions.

Hope this is clear.

Thanks Sammer,I do have a certification
for Primavera P3 Planner/Scheduler plus 26 years in the Petro/Chem industry does this make me as bankable as an engineer? The only reason I ask is that the econimic developements in my country (The good old U.S.A.)Got me a lay off 3 months ago and I cant seem to even buy a job as a Planner/Scheduler so I’ve fallen back on my Pipe Fitting Skills to pay the bills for now. I’m not trying to complain I’m glad to have something to fall back on, however I do like the perks of the office..

Richard,

You could always become an assistant Planner, although the money is not as good it will be a good start and then you can gain experiance. There is all types of planners the best ones are those who get off their Bums and go out to site to review progress and get their hands dirty. With your hands on experiance planning should come second nature as we all do it without thinking.

Regards

Lloyd

How is your experience as a planner - years, area? Where do you want to work - country, area? Which languages?

No need to be an engineer. This would make a start easier but isn’t essential. I understood your information as if you worked as a planner already.

In this forum you can find some recruiters. Just send a private message to them with your wishes and what you can offer.

Good luck!
