Senior Scheduler

Overview

The Senior Scheduler plays a key role in developing, maintaining, and analyzing schedules across portfolios, programmes, and major offshore projects based in Ireland. Collaborating closely with delivery teams, you'll establish robust logic, milestones, dependencies, and forecasts, track progress, identify risks, and produce reliable reports for management and governance. Assignments may involve supporting Offshore Asset Readiness with multi-programme integration or Offshore Major Projects focusing on detailed delivery planning and contractor coordination in Irish offshore environments.

We value diversity and inclusion and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
