Karthik S

I am S. Karthikeyan having 8 years of work experience in Project Planning and Control, currently working as an Assistant Manager – Planning with added knowledge in Estimation and Procurement.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and have worked in various positions in the Department of Planning and Cost control.

As a Planning Engineer, I was responsible for the preparation of schedules in consultation with various departments, preparing weekly & monthly progress reports, preparing running bills and communicating with the project manager, and team leader for project-related matters, as Project Planning Engineer I feel that my greatest strengths are my proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget as per customer requirements & expectation using necessary quality control & assurance tools and techniques as well as my extensive experience in business project management including Primavera P6, MS Office & MS Project.

I can analyze suppliers in the area who offer the best product for the least amount of money and can negotiate turnaround times to get our purchases delivered quickly to the benefit of the company. Working in a team setting is not an issue for me and I would be both comfortable leading and being a part of any team in any company. 

If you would like to discuss my planning experience and what I can bring to your company more fully then feel free to contact me any time.
