Who you are…
You will be working closely with the Delivery, Construction & Planning Teams to ensure that a clean and de-clashed Construction schedule is available at the 16wkla horizon to allow unconstrained schedule delivery. This will require a good understanding of the lifecycle construction and commissioning sequences.

You will be supporting the Project Directorate and Area leadership to highlight any potential performance gaps between the L4 plan forecast plan and baseline requirements, this will require attendance at routine Directorate meetings to present clear, concise and balanced information for discussion and action if necessary.
