  • Align OR schedules with project delivery milestones, stage gates, and asset opening dates, maintaining interfaces with PMO and delivery partner schedules.
  • Develop countdown plans and T-minus schedules for asset openings, including trial operations and soft opening phases.
  • Track progress against baseline, identify slippage and critical path impacts, and escalate risks to readiness milestones with recovery options.
  • Produce scheduling reports, dashboards, and lookaheads using Power BI and Excel for OR leadership and governance forums.
  • Coordinate schedule inputs from functional leads and consolidate updates on an agreed cadence.
  • Maintain schedule change control, baseline management, and documentation of assumptions and dependencies.
  • Support workforce ramp-up planning by aligning recruitment, onboarding, and training timelines with operational need dates.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 5–8 years of scheduling/planning experience, ideally within operational readiness, giga-projects, entertainment/hospitality openings, or large-scale infrastructure.
