• Provide proactive scheduling support including critical path analysis, what-if scenario simulation and recovery or risk mitigation planning.
• Assess progress, track and analyse the impact of schedule forecast changes to identify delays, conflicts, blockers and threats at the earliest opportunity.
• Organise to make resolutions with version control changes if schedule recovery or risk mitigation is required.
• Analyse risks and opportunities for resource planning while using a workload and capacity management tool in Oracle Primavera Cloud and present data and proposals in a monthly Integrated Business Planning (IBP) review.
• Issue and track work-to-list, and collaborate with program, commercial, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing engineering and production team to maintain schedule integrity and accuracy.
• Work with senior management to ensure the effective allocation of resources and facilities, support forward load and bid discussions.
• Support programme reviews to ensure that we are planning in line with the top level programme schedules and customer milestones.
