IN_Senior Associate_Metals And Mining_Fuels And Resources SandO_Advisory_Bhubaneswar

Role Purpose 

Support PMO and digital transformation for capital projects in metals & mining. You will build schedules, dashboards, reports, and digital toolchains (e.g., 5D BIM, drone/LiDAR progress, IoT geo-fencing, and GenAI report assistants) to improve visibility, predictability, and control across scope, time, cost, risk, quality, and safety. 

Responsibilities 

 A. PMO Execution 

• Maintain work plans and look‑ahead schedules; update progress, logic ties, and milestones in Primavera/MS Project. 

• Run EVM calculations (CPI/SPI), cost/schedule variance analysis; prepare management reports. 

• Support risk registers, mitigation tracking, and safety audit follow-ups; assist in compliance documentation. 

B. Procurement & Vendor Performance 

• Track material delivery performance; maintain vendor scorecards and expediting logs. 

• Support bid evaluations, contract change requests, and documentation. 

C. Digital/AI Enablement 

• Build Power BI/Tableau dashboards (time, cost, risk, quality, safety, regulatory). 

• Assist BIM coordinators with 5D BIM linkages (quantities, cost/schedule) and model reviews. 

• Operate drone/LiDAR progress workflows (with supervision), assist in computer vision checks for site safety. 

• Run IoT + geo-fencing material tracking dashboards; flag exceptions (route deviation, dwell breaches). 

• Use GenAI assistants for executive summaries, daily status notes, risk logs, and stakeholder communications (governed by data policies). 

D. Documentation & Stakeholder Support 

• Maintain PMO registers (change, interface, issues, decisions); compile weekly/monthly packs. 

• Coordinate meetings, actions, and follow-ups with EPCs/vendors/regulators; support site visits & audits. 

Required Qualifications & Experience 

• 2–5 years relevant experience in construction + metals/mining + PMO on capex projects. 

• PMP® (preferred; willingness to obtain within 12 months). 

• M.Tech (NICMAR) preferred; alternatively BE/B.Tech (Civil/Mechanical/Electrical) + MBA with relevant project experience. 

• Hands-on with Primavera/MS Project, Power BI/Tableau/Excel, BIM tools (Navisworks/Revit/Synchro); exposure to drone/LiDAR and IoT tracking advantageous. 

Core Skills 

• Planning & controls, data handling, dashboarding, report writing, on-ground coordination. 

• Detail orientation, problem solving, collaboration; strong communication & stakeholder management. 

Working Model 

• Extensive travel to project sites/client offices. 

• Exposure to large, marquee projects and cutting-edge digital/AI solutions—an accelerator for future roles. 

Key Differentiators for Both Roles 

• Work with multi‑billion‑dollar metals & mining programs (terminals, mines, beneficiation, smelters, logistics). 

• Deep exposure to digital/AI in project management: 5D BIM, digital twins, advanced scheduling & risk analytics, drone/LiDAR, IoT geo‑fencing, GenAI copilots. 

• Clear career pathway from delivery to solution leadership and client advisory.
