Working closely with Project Managers, Operations Leaders, Engineers, Procurement and Commercial teams, you will provide strategic planning leadership, schedule insight, and project controls expertise to support successful project delivery. Your Responsibilities Lead the development, maintenance, and governance of integrated project schedules using Primavera P6 and other planning tools. Establish and maintain schedule baselines, monitor progress, perform forecasting, and identify potential project risks and delays. Conduct critical path analysis and provide recommendations to improve project performance and delivery outcomes. Act as the regional Planning Subject Matter Expert (SME), driving planning standards, methodologies, and best practices across the project organization. Influence and support planners across multiple business units, providing functional leadership without direct line management responsibility. Proactively engage stakeholders to gather, validate, and challenge project information, ensuring planning accuracy and transparency. Facilitate schedule reviews, planning workshops, and governance meetings with project teams and leadership. Collaborate with Project Managers, Engineering, Supply Chain, Procurement and Construction teams to develop realistic and achievable project plans. Support project controls activities, including schedule performance measurement, forecasting, earned value analysis, and reporting. Analyse contractor and third-party schedules to assess progress, risks, and alignment with project objectives. Develop commissioning, startup, and execution schedules for complex projects. Mentor and coach planners and project teams on planning principles, schedule management, and project controls best practices. Contribute to resource planning, workforce planning, and future capability development within the project execution organization.
