You will build the probabilistic schedules that give our leadership the confidence — or the caution — to make multi-million-pound bid decisions based on quantified data, not instinct. Your work directly shapes which projects GE Vernova pursues, how they are priced, and how confidently they are delivered.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who brings deep technical scheduling expertise together with genuine commercial and risk awareness. If you find precision satisfying and uncertainty worth solving, this role was built for your strengths.Job DescriptionWhat You Will Do
- Build and own bid-stage schedules — develop fully scoped, resource- and cost-loaded schedules aligned to the Bill of Materials (BOM) / Statement of Work (SOW), with no scope gaps and full compliance with DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) 14-point health criteria.
- Drive probabilistic analysis — apply three-point estimating and quantitative risk analysis (including Monte Carlo / QRA methods) to produce a defensible, risk-adjusted cost and schedule position that informs bid/no-bid and pricing decisions.
- Maintain bi-directional traceability — link schedule activities to RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) risk references and maintain estimated time impacts throughout the bid phase, ensuring no data is lost at handover.
- Lead the ITO-to-execution transition — validate the bid schedule against final contracted scope, support formal baseline approval, and hand over the baselined schedule and associated RAID data to the Project Controller with a clear, structured briefing.
- Support change control during execution — re-engage when material schedule variance arises to construct What-If scenarios, quantify critical path impact, float consumption, and Extension of Time (EoT) entitlement without modifying the approved baseline.
You are someone who combines analytical rigour with strong communication skills — equally comfortable interrogating a schedule logic network and presenting risk findings to bid leadership.
Required
- Significant experience building and maintaining complex, resource-loaded project schedules using enterprise tools such as Planisware, Primavera P6 (P6), or equivalent.
- Strong working knowledge of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) / Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) development and alignment between planning tools and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) / financial systems such as SAP.
- Practical experience with schedule health diagnostics, including DCMA 14-point analysis.
- Solid understanding of probabilistic risk techniques — three-point estimating, Expected Monetary Value (EMV), and Monte Carlo / Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) methods — and their application to contingency and margin decisions.
- Understanding of Earned Value Management (EVM) principles and how schedule integrity underpins performance measurement baseline (PMB) accuracy.
- Demonstrated ability to engage effectively across Commercial, Risk, Cost Engineering, and project leadership teams.
- Must hold, or be eligible to obtain, SC Clearance
Preferred
- Experience working in a bid or ITO (Invitation to Offer) environment within complex systems or capital projects delivery.
- Familiarity with change management processes, including What-If scenario modelling and the distinction between rebaselining and re-time-phasing.
A formal qualification in Project Management, Engineering, or a related discipline is beneficial, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.
