Slippage shows up before it happens

I am Jhon Campos Aguirre, a licensed Industrial and Mining Engineer with a Master in Project Management from ESAN. I have spent more than seven years inside mining and construction operations building and holding the project controls system — Buenaventura, Besalco – Stracon, Minsur, Chinalco, Volcan, Boroo: baseline and schedule in Primavera P6, progress and cost under EVM, NEC 3 contracts and the Power BI dashboard management actually decides on. I also lead a 45-person function across three teams at an AI company for mining.

What management receives

The artefacts I work with

Project control is not demonstrated with adjectives. These are the artefacts I produce every week and, above all, the decision each one enables.

PERIOD 1 COMPLETION

S-curve: plan against actual

Planned and executed cumulative progress on one axis, with the gap visible at every data date and the forecast to completion.

Decision: do we accelerate, re-plan, or accept the delay?
EARTHWORKSCIVIL WORKS ERECTIONCLOSE-OUT DATA DATE

Schedule with critical path

Primavera P6 structure with WBS, logic, resources and version control. The critical path in blue; everything else has float and can wait.

Decision: where do we put the extra crew so it actually counts?
TARGET 90% WEEK 1 WEEK 14

PPC and constraints

Weekly plan compliance under Last Planner, with the four-week Look Ahead and the constraints blocking what was committed.

Decision: which constraint must be cleared this week, and by whom?

Sample visualisations using illustrative data. Each project's dashboards are built on its own information and under the applicable confidentiality agreements.

Selected work

A few concrete engagements

Outside full-time roles, these give an idea of the kind of problem I tend to solve.

Regulatory Benchmarking of Water Utilities

Interactive Power BI dashboard for Peru's National Water and Sanitation Regulator, publishing the regulatory benchmarking results of the country's water and sanitation utilities. It is hosted on the Peruvian Government platform and openly accessible on gob.pe.

Profile

Real control, not pretty slides

I move between the field, contractors and management. That position is what lets the schedule reflect what is actually happening on site, and lets the report that reaches the board hold up when somebody asks where the number came from.

End-to-end planning and control: schedule, cost, progress, constraints and productivity.
Decision-oriented dashboards: early warnings, gaps and forecast, not just history.
Data governance: a single source of truth, version control and follow-up routines.
Contractual focus: substantiation, milestones, evidence and clarity for formal correspondence.

From field supervision to corporate project controls, always with the schedule and the data as the central tool.

Education

Project management and technology

Two engineering degrees plus two master's degrees: the combination that allows me to understand the mining operation and, at the same time, build the data layer that controls it.

Where I can step in

Full project or one-off engagement, depending on what you need solved. I work remotely for any country and on site when the scope justifies it.

Project Controls

  • Look Ahead, constraints and PPC with actionable follow-up.
  • EVM and forecast: SPI/CPI, trends and early warnings.

Contractual and schedule review

  • Schedule quality: constraints, float and logic consistency.
  • Technical substantiation for milestones, evidence and formal correspondence.
  • Review under AACE recommended practices and DCMA standards.

Power BI and analytics

  • KPIs for progress, productivity, cost, constraints and commitments.
  • Data models and DAX built for the board, not for the archive.
  • Weekly and monthly reporting ready to act on.

Project data governance
