Saba Energy is looking for a Planning Engineer to own project scheduling and progress control across our rural solar mini-grid and electrification projects, from baseline development in Primavera P6 and MS Project through to site verification and handover.
This isn't a desk-only planning role. You'll turn EPC scope into a real critical path, identify delays early, and work with site teams to ensure project plans reflect what's happening on the ground.
What You'll Own:
— Baseline & working schedules across multiple rural sites (P6 + MS Project)
— WBS, activities, milestones, logic & critical path development
— Progress tracking, S-curves, dashboards & variance analysis
— Delay analysis, recovery plans & EOT/claims support
— Daily, weekly & monthly progress reporting
— Manpower, equipment & materials planning
— Coordination across engineering, procurement, logistics & site teams
— Site visits to verify progress and update schedules
What You Bring:
✓ 5–7 years’ experience as a Planning/Project Controls Engineer in solar, power, renewable energy or EPC/infrastructure
✓ Strong command of Primavera P6, MS Project & Advanced Excel
✓ Strong understanding of EPC project lifecycle and project controls
✓ Ability to read engineering drawings and BOQs
✓ Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
✓ Experience with mini-grid, rural electrification or multi-site projects is an advantage
✓ Willingness to travel to rural project sites across Nigeria
Qualification: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil Engineering, Renewable Energy or a related field. Relevant diploma holders with strong experience may also be considered.
PMP or PMI-SP certification is desirable, but not mandatory.
