What you'll do
- Own and actively manage all infrastructure and siting project schedules across Alpha and Stellaris - buildings, utilities, permitting milestones, and site readiness
- Translate infrastructure-specific schedule detail into validated, structured inputs for the Master Scheduler's integrated master schedule, ensuring infrastructure milestones, dependencies, and readiness dates are correctly reflected
- Identify infrastructure-specific critical path items and interdependencies and flag risks early
- Partner closely with the Master Scheduler, Risk & Change Manager, and Individual Project Managers to keep infrastructure schedules and the integrated timeline in sync
- Maintain infrastructure milestone governance discipline across all programs, ensuring consistent coding and leveling conventions
- Support gate-readiness by preparing infrastructure-specific schedule status inputs ahead of release gate decisions
What we're looking for
- Experienced in managing infrastructure or site development schedules on complex capital programs, ideally spanning multiple sites or projects in parallel
- Comfortable working with a federated schedule structure - translating detailed infrastructure planning into a broader integrated programme view
- Strong cross-functional communicator, able to align site project managers and technical teams with the Master Scheduler's baseline
- Fluent in English
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-scaling, still-being-built environment
Nice to have
- German is a strong advantage given the permitting and contractor landscape
