· The position will ensure that program-level and project-level planning processes are consistent, transparent, and suitable for executive reporting, contractor coordination, and timely decision-making.

· The role requires strong coordination with design, procurement, construction, cost control, project controls, contractors, and client teams to support schedule reliability, early risk identification, and proactive mitigation.

· Develop, manage, and control integrated master schedules for all project phases, including site mobilization, design, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, qualification, start-up, handover, and close-out.

· Establish project work breakdown structures, schedule coding structures, calendars, activity sequencing, milestones, logic ties, baseline schedules, and reporting formats aligned with industry best practices and client requirements.

· Maintain project schedules in a multi-user Primavera P6 environment and coordinate schedule inputs from design, procurement, construction, commissioning, cost control, contractors, and other functional teams.

· Collect progress data, validate contractor updates, analyze schedule variance, and update schedules to reflect actual progress, remaining duration, forecast dates, and potential impacts.

· Prepare weekly and monthly schedule reports, executive dashboards, look-ahead schedules, milestone summaries, critical path reports, variance narratives, and recovery/mitigation action plans.

· Perform critical path analysis, float analysis, schedule risk reviews, delay impact assessments, and what-if scenario modelling to support project decisions and escalation.

· Support earned value progress measurement, productivity tracking, procurement tracking, cost/schedule integration, change control, and forecast analysis in coordination with project controls and cost management teams.

· Control the master program schedule, drive progress review meetings, identify schedule constraints, and work with responsible parties to develop practical mitigation and recovery plans.

· Establish and maintain program drivers, interface milestones, long-lead procurement activities, permitting requirements, shutdown/turnover sequences, and contractor coordination milestones.

· Support design, construction, commissioning, qualification, and start-up planning for complex technical facilities, ensuring alignment with client operational requirements and project delivery strategy.

· Interact with client teams and PM teams to communicate schedule status, high-level performance, key risks, required decisions, and schedule recovery priorities.

· Remain current with planning and scheduling methods, tools, and best practices, and recommend improvements where beneficial to the project.

· Leads integrated schedule development and maintains schedule integrity across multiple project stakeholders and delivery phases.

· Translates complex schedule data into clear client-facing reports, dashboards, executive summaries, and decision-support narratives.

· Identifies schedule risks early and coordinates practical mitigation, recovery, and escalation plans.

· Supports alignment between schedule, cost, procurement, construction progress, change control, and earned value reporting.

· Facilitates schedule review meetings with Korean client stakeholders, ATKINSRÉALIS leadership, contractors, and functional teams.

· Maintains discipline in baseline control, progress validation, schedule update cycles, change impacts, and audit-ready records.

· Supports fast-paced project environments requiring accurate reporting, rapid decision-making, and strong cross-cultural coordination.
