• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure project schedules are aligned with the overarching program timelines and milestones.
• Track progress against key milestones and flag potential delays early.
• Monitor project and programme schedules against the approved baseline, ensuring all time-related changes follow the change control process.
• Assess extension of time claims and provide recommendations.

• Ideally 10+ years of experience in project planning/scheduling within infrastructure or construction.
• Strong proficiency in MS Project or other scheduling tools.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder engagement skills.
