• Identify critical path activities, schedule risks and recovery opportunities
• Integrate contractor and third-party schedules into master programmes
• Partner with project leadership to drive schedule performance across complex capital projects
• Provide clear reporting, forecasting and schedule analysis to project teams and stakeholders

• 8+ years of project scheduling / project controls experience
• Advanced Primavera P6 capability
• Experience with in pharmaceutical, biotech or GMP-regulated environments
• Strong understanding of engineering, construction, commissioning and CQV activities
• Experience supporting major capital projects from concept through operational readiness
