  • Own the development, management and delivery of the schedule and pay particular attention to interdependencies and deliverables to other teams and suppliers

  • Actively manage risks and opportunities, ensuring mitigation activities are well planned
  • Ensure the Change Control process is adhered to by the team and support its administration
