Planning Engineer LEAD (in Office)
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Lead Planning Engineer is expected to develop and maintain integrated project schedules, monitor progress, identify delays and critical-path risks, and prepare clear planning reports for management and clients. Requirements typically include a degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline; substantial planning experience on major energy, offshore, infrastructure, or EPC projects; and strong knowledge of Primavera P6, scheduling methods, progress measurement, and cost or resource control. Candidates should be comfortable coordinating multidisciplinary teams, reviewing contractor schedules, forecasting completion dates, and communicating issues professionally. Leadership, analytical ability, attention to detail, and experience working in multicultural project environments are important. The role is office-based in Indonesia but may involve coordination with international project teams and occasional site or travel requirements.
Can I work in Indonesia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employer plan as a specialist with 5 years' experience; in 2018 the energy ministry said HSE, supply-chain, quality-control and junior structural posts stay closed.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: Since March 2018 the plan goes straight to the Ministry of Manpower, with no SKK Migas letter; whether the 2013 closed-posts list still binds was not confirmed.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: TKA Online, foreign-worker plan approval. Checked November 2026.
