  • Track progress against baseline, identify slippage and critical path impacts, and escalate risks to readiness milestones with recovery options.
  • Produce scheduling reports, dashboards, and lookaheads using Power BI and Excel for OR leadership and governance forums.
  • Coordinate schedule inputs from functional leads and consolidate updates on an agreed cadence.
  • Maintain schedule change control, baseline management, and documentation of assumptions and dependencies.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 5–8 years of scheduling/planning experience, ideally within operational readiness, giga-projects, entertainment/hospitality openings, or large-scale infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated hands-on Primavera P6 expertise, including baseline and change control on complex programmes.
  • Experience supporting asset openings, trial operations, or commissioning-to-operations transitions strongly preferred.
