This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of the integrated project schedule for a major offshore wind farm. Working closely with the Project Director, PMO and package management teams, you will be responsible for driving schedule performance, providing strategic planning insight, and ensuring the successful coordination of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning activities throughout the project lifecycle.

- Supporting Project Controls, PMO and senior leadership with planning insights and recommendations
- Leading additional planning resources where required throughout the project lifecycle.
