Project Controls Associate

CO-WORKER TECHNOLOGY SWEDEN AB

Coordinate schedule-driven interfaces across areas and functions, ensuring key dependencies, handovers, constraints and cross-area risks are visible and governed. The role does not own the integrated project schedule; Project Controls remains accountable for schedule control. Key Responsibilities • Establish and maintain the schedule interface register and dependency log. • Coordinate regular schedule interface cadence with Project Controls, Areas, Construction and Commissioning. • Identify cross-area milestone logic gaps, dependency risks and handover constraints. • Ensure construction and commissioning interface needs are visible in planning routines. • Translate interface risks into clear planning inputs, actions and escalation points. • Support the 6-week lookahead interface process with dependency and milestone logic. • Provide regular schedule-interface reporting to Head of Interface Management and IMS leadership. • Ensure alignment between schedule interface actions and Project Controls governance. Key Interfaces • Head of Interface Management • Project Controls / Planning • Construction Interface Manager • Systems Completion Manager • Area teams and discipline planners • Commissioning and handover stakeholders Required Experience And Capabilities • Planning, project controls or schedule coordination experience in large industrial or construction projects. • Strong understanding of schedule logic, dependencies, milestones and handovers. • Ability to work with Primavera P6, MS Project or equivalent project planning tools, as applicable. • Structured approach to dependency management and action tracking. • Strong communication skills across planning and delivery teams. Success Measures • Schedule interface register is active and used by the project. • Cross-area dependency risks are visible before they affect critical milestones. • Project Controls has clear, timely inputs from Interface Management. • Schedule interface ownership is clear and avoids duplication with Project Controls.
