Master Scheduler - Outages EMENAT/ APAC/ SSA

ild scheduling talent system incl competency frameworks

• Translate schedule data into business insights required to take the right decisions in the S&OE framework

• Develop and maintain the outage master schedule with all defined scheduling points aligned to outage windows and contractual commitments.

• Balance load vs. demonstrated capacity for field crews (GEV, SPS OSS, OSF, OSS 3rd party), repairs (in-shop, on-site, and 3rd party), and critical shared resources across the ROW network.

• Identify schedule risks and conflicts across concurrent outages; lead recovery planning and scenario/risk analyses.

• Enforce schedule discipline, time fences (frozen/slushy zones), and change governance within the IMS process.

• Provide a single, trusted outage schedule for leadership and cross-functional teams.

• Integrate with Field Service and Event Management e-tools; define logic and rules for repairs, FS resources, and critical path drivers.

• Own standard playbooks by outage class and product line (major/minor) with typical cycle times and buffers; incorporate segment nuances (e.g., outage windows, fossil dispatch patterns, industrial maintenance cycles).

• Own the ORR process/gates, ensuring readiness for SQDC.

• Incorporate into the capacity model: crew skills/competencies/certifications, travel/visa constraints within the Americas, site access rules, and any applicable labor agreement considerations.

• Operationalize the S&OE process; prepare formal pre-read and agenda for the weekly Outage S&OE executive meeting.

• Define change classes (A/B/C) with approval thresholds and approvers within each time fence (frozen/slushy zones).

• Interface and govern linkage with S&OP and DM, including change approval mechanics and demand/supply synchronization.

• Align schedules with Americas-specific customer protocols and compliance expectations (e.g.outage governance, EHS standards) and ensure QA hold points are reflected in the IMS.
