About the role

Are you a structured and proactive person who has experience of working with project planning? Do you want to work in an expansive industry and be an important part of the transition to a fossil-free future?

We are now looking for project planners with the ability to see the bigger picture and the will to work for a fossil-free future. We have a cross-functional organization, which means that you have planning colleagues in several other units within the project department. You will act as a specialist in project planning, be an active part of the strategic competence building of the business and act as a support to colleagues across the business. We are looking for you with a passion for strategy, orderliness and a strong desire to promote effective project management.

As a Project Planner with us, you will be a key player in our project management teams. You will mainly be responsible for:

• The development of project schedules and that these are kept up to date and reliable.
• That all schedules meet the requirements of Vattenfall's planning and project models.
• During the various phases of the projects, you carry out regular follow-ups of schedules with a focus on coordination and progress. You report to the project manager.
• Conducting analyses for different scenarios of project schedules to find the most efficient way to run the project and thereby maximize business benefits. The analyses are multidimensional and ensure an integration between, for example, time, resource, cost, risks and quality in relation to the scope. Facility changes in the form of extensive rebuilding of one or more existing systems with the aim of increasing safety, availability and/or performance make up a large part of our business.

  This is how one of our planners describes his work:

  "What is challenging and fun in my work today is precisely that it is very varied tasks. We work operationally in projects and test models/ideas, help set up basic structures to streamline our planning work in projects and programs, develop common ways of working between our different functional areas and develop processes for managing uncertainty assessment of project schedules".

  We know that our people are the key to our success. We care about your development and will always encourage you to use your skills and provide you with opportunities to grow through new challenges, training and skills transfer. With us, you will be trusted to act with great freedom and responsibility, which, together with good working conditions and mutual trust, provides a high level of flexibility and work-life balance.
