Your Assignment

Embedded in one or more delivery teams, you report functionally to the Planning Lead and work alongside other schedulers and the cost, risk, and change functions of Project Controls. 

Your responsibilities include:

• Gathering progress inputs across disciplines and running critical path, trend, and variance analysis to track performance and surface delays and risks early. 
• Building workload, resource, and alternative-execution scenarios so project managers and the PMO can see the consequences of different options. 
• Producing clear, timely progress and performance reports and KPI views for the delivery team, PMO, and management. 
• Integrating the schedules of multiple disciplines and contractors into one coherent plan, working with delivery teams to keep plans coordinated and achievable. 
• Working with the Planning Lead to improve planning methods, data governance, and traceability, while playing an active role in the transition to Primavera P6. 

Your Background and Experience

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a business or technical field. 
• 10 to 15 years of scheduling experience across at least two projects, including multidisciplinary work on large or mega-projects in construction, energy, or infrastructure. 
• Advanced Primavera P6 user with a strong command of schedule logic and data management. 
• A strong grasp of resource planning, critical path analysis, QSRA, and earned value management. 
• Experience assessing supply-chain schedules and performing schedule impact analysis of change. 

Additionally, we appreciate it if you have

• Relevant planning or project management training. 

Competencies

• Strong Analytical Judgment: You apply analytical judgment within your scope, diagnosing causes of slippage and assessing schedule impact where there is no single right answer. 
• Clear communication: You effortlessly translate complex schedule analysis into clear updates for project managers and program management. 
• Independent and Accountable: You work independently to the standards set by the Planning Lead and are capable of challenging and holding senior stakeholders accountable for scheduling-related activities.  
• Collaborative: You are adept at integrating multiple discipline inputs and are comfortable operating in a dual-reporting, embedded structure. 

What We Offer

• A strong and committed team – Become part of a diverse and ambitious team of professionals who share a common goal and a shared mission.
• A culture of trust and ownership – We believe in responsibility, collaboration, open communication, and a safe working atmosphere.
• A dynamic environment – Experience the energy generated by building the organization step-by-step, along with the two nuclear power plants that will propel the Netherlands forward for many decades to come.
