Your responsibilities will include mentoring planners, ensuring the quality of schedules, and assisting the Project Director/Manager in resolving schedule-related challenges. You will support the project and technical management team in planning activities governed by the Contract, internal procedures, and the Project Model. Establishing the baseline schedule based on the Document Register, Procurement Plan, and Manufacturing and Installation schedules will be part of your role. You will proactively identify, analyze, and follow up on schedule risks and opportunities, while also understanding client and stakeholder obligations. Additionally, you will lead initiatives and contribute to technical improvements relevant to our department, promoting Quality and HSE.
