As a Project Planner at GE Vernova, you will be at the heart of project execution across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, turning project scope into structured schedules that engineering, procurement, and construction teams can actually work to. Your planning keeps projects moving, risks visible, and decisions well-informed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain detailed project schedules aligned with scope, milestones, and contractual requirements, including baseline schedules, work breakdown structures (WBS), activity sequencing, and resource-loaded plans.
  • Monitor project progress against planned schedules, identify critical path impacts and schedule slippages, and recommend corrective and recovery actions.
  • Coordinate with engineering, procurement, site execution, and commissioning teams to gather progress updates and maintain accurate, current schedules.
  • Prepare look-ahead schedules, catch-up plans, and recovery schedules; support project management in forecasting completion timelines and surfacing planning-related risks.
  • Generate periodic progress reports, dashboards, S-curves, and milestone tracking reports to support project review meetings and decision-making.
  • Maintain planning records, schedule revisions, and project control documentation in compliance with company procedures.
