Project Planner / Scheduler

The Project Planner / Scheduler owns integrated, logic-driven project schedules across solar PV and BESS projects delivered in a C&I environmentsupporting development-to-financial close (where applicable), EPC delivery, commissioning, COD, and handover into O&M/asset operations. This role builds and baselines schedules, drives disciplined progress updates, produces decision-grade forecasts and recovery scenarios, and ensures schedule governance supports financing gates, supplier lead times, site constraints, and operational readiness.

Key responsibilities

Integrated schedule ownership and governance

• Own the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for assigned projects/portfolio, covering engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, grid/interconnection, COD, and handover deliverables into O&M.
• Establish scheduling standards: WBS/coding, calendars, progress measurement rules, baseline governance, update cycle, and schedule change-control procedures.
• Maintain schedule integrity (logic, constraints discipline, realistic critical path) and ensure schedules remain forecast-reliable and audit-ready.

EPC execution planning and interface management

• Develop detailed schedule logic that reflects real interfaces among design deliverables, procurement packages, construction sequencing, testing/commissioning, customer access windows, and site shutdown constraints typical in C&I environments.
• Integrate supplier and subcontractor schedules (modules, inverters, transformers/switchgear, battery containers/modules, PCS, EMS/SCADA, civil works, electrical balance of plant), including manufacturing, FAT/SAT milestones, shipping/logistics, and on-site readiness.
• Run short-interval planning support: look-ahead plans (e.g., 26 week horizons) and constraint logs with construction/site teams.

Progress updates, forecasting, and reporting

• Lead weekly/monthly schedule updates: collect progress status, validate evidence, update actuals/remaining duration, and publish forecast dates.
• Produce schedule narratives and dashboards: critical path/near-critical analysis, variance root causes, milestone confidence, recovery options, and "decision asks" for leadership.
• Provide schedule inputs to project cashflow and drawdown planning (as required by the funding/asset-ownership model) and support investor/lender reporting where needed.

Schedule change management and claims support

• Operate schedule change control: log changes, quantify time impacts (what-if scenarios/time impact analysis), and preserve baseline integrity.
• Partner with Contracts/Commercial to support entitlement and substantiation where schedule impacts relate to variations, delay events, or claims.
