You will interface with relevant business experts to obtain progress details required to provide adequate project scheduling updates, allowing project performance to be monitored against agreed project control measures (KPIs).

Responsible for updating project schedules at a pre-determined frequency (usually monthly), obtaining relevant inputs through collaboration with other Project Team members, you will analyse internal departmental and external contractor project schedules as required, ensuring and advising the Project Team of their suitability and any actions required to meet the overall project plan control and schedule targets.

Expected to attend internal and external meetings as required, providing planning advice, reports, KPIs and programme views to assist Project Team decision making, you will comply with the relevant Quality Management System, supporting any process improvement initiatives.

What you’ll bring

Educated to HNC level in an Engineering/Mathematical discipline or with previous experience in scheduling/programming/planning projects and a portfolio of works, you will possess knowledge of Engineering and/or Construction projects using Primavera P6 and MS Project planning software.
