Your Tasks

  • Develop the end-to-end overall schedule during the offer phase (OTO) for new-build and modernization projects by integrating inputs from all relevant functions, units, and third parties.
  • Define the underlying planning logic of the project time schedule, including whether the schedule structure should be primarily driven by engineering or site activities.
  • Collect, clarify, and consolidate schedule-relevant inputs such as project framework conditions, key dates, scope of supply, engineering sequences, sourcing scenarios, logistics assumptions, installation concepts, and commissioning requirements.
  • Coordinate closely with OPM, Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Transport, Installation, Commissioning, and other relevant stakeholders to establish a consistent and feasible overall schedule.
  • Clarify technical dependencies, durations, and sequencing for System Engineering and Component Engineering activities in coordination with the relevant engineering functions and integrate them into the overall schedule.
  • Incorporate contractual customer approval processes, milestone structures, and schedule-related contractual requirements into the overall schedule.
  • Assess sourcing strategies, countries of origin, procurement / manufacturing durations, transport concepts, and pre-assembly / factory assembly assumptions from a scheduling perspective.
  • Ensure that all relevant interfaces with customers, consortium partners, other OUs, sub-suppliers, and external parties are reflected appropriately in the overall schedule.
  • Perform schedule analyses, including critical path, multiple critical paths, and near-critical paths, in order to identify key risks and opportunities during the offer phase.
  • Prepare alternative overall schedules, scenarios, and planning options to support offer strategy, feasibility assessment, and internal decision-making.
  • Review schedule quality in line with the DCMA 14 Point Assessment criteria.
  • Support and coordinate internal schedule alignment and review processes, including participation in Design Freeze 0 (DF0) and preparation / coordination of the OTO SFAC (Schedule Freeze Acceptance Certificate).
  • Update and revise the overall schedule during the negotiation phase in the event of customer changes or revised project assumptions.
  • Ensure a structured handover of the overall schedule from OTO to OTC once the order is received.

  • Experience with planning tools such as Primavera P6 and/or MS Project.
  • Ability to collect, structure, assess, and consolidate inputs from multiple specialist functions into one coherent planning logic.
  • Good understanding of engineering, procurement / manufacturing, transport, installation, and commissioning interfaces within complex project schedules.
  • Strong coordination and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions and organizational interfaces.
