  • Experience: Minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in project controls, planning, and scheduling, with at least 4–5 years dedicated specifically to forensic planning and delay claims.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or a related discipline.
