Life Science Manufacturing Site Project Scheduler
The scheduler is responsible for the development, integration and maintenance of the overall integrated project schedule (IPS) necessary to provide the project team a credible and predictable timeline plan to execute the project and make effective decisions. The scheduler leads the project planning and schedule development process required to achieve the Final Project Objectives.
The IPS is defined as a network of tasks linked from the project start through to the project finish, reflecting the interdependencies between tasks and milestones. The IPS forms the basis for performance measurement, Schedule Key Performance Indicators (SKPI’s) and is used to track progress, forecasts, and changes throughout the execution of the project. The IPS is used to identify the project critical path, as well as driving paths to major interim events or deliverables. Throughout the life of the project, the level of detail of the IPS will vary as more information becomes available.
This roles required a Dutch speaking scheduler to be site based in Geel.
The scheduler’s roles and responsibilities are:
- Review the scope of the work, project requirements, lines of responsibility, and project objectives and constraints to assist the development of the strategy for effective project delivery.
- Identify the major activities to be performed and the preferred sequence in which they are to be accomplished.
- Establish a clear schedule development and maintenance process to ensure that the overall IPS includes the entire project scope of work, client requirements, lines of responsibility, schedule review, approval requirements & reporting distribution.
- Support the project team’s effort toward the development of the project plan and translating that project plan into the project schedule.
- Develop the integrated plan to effectively execute the scope of work and meet project objectives.
- Define and align with the Project Manager, Project Controls, A/E and CM firms on a work breakdown and activity coding structure most appropriate for the project. An initial WBS should be agreed before working on any schedule. The WBS must have the flexibility to accommodate all the project phases and have the ability to output reports appropriate for each stage.
- Create and maintain a risk register to support the schedule risk assessment.
- Facilitate alignment, lead implementation and monitor adherence of a suitable method for measuring, tracking and forecasting overall project progress including trending charts and schedule analysis.
- Facilitate alignment, lead implementation and monitor adherence of a schedule update calendar and workflow for the updating of the project schedule to ensure timely reporting of schedule information and progress.
