Project Scheduler
Project Scheduler – Leeds, UK
About the Role
Sulzer’s newly refurbished Leeds facility houses our Advanced Pump Design and Manufacturing Centre of Excellence, where highly engineered, bespoke pumping solutions are designed, built, and delivered for some of the world’s most demanding applications—energy, oil & gas, chemicals, water, nuclear, and heavy industry.
Failure isn’t an option in these environments. Our pumps operate in environments where absolute precision, reliability, and performance are critical. We’re seeking an experienced Project Scheduler to take ownership of planning and scheduling across large, complex engineering projects—with long lead times, multiple workstreams, and intricate dependencies.
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of the project lifecycle, developing and maintaining detailed schedules that align engineering, procurement, manufacturing, testing, and delivery. You thrive in delivering clarity from complexity—a role for someone who enjoys turning chaos into structured success.
Responsibilities
- Developing, maintaining, and controlling end-to-end project schedules using Microsoft Project
- Collaborating closely with Project Managers, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing to ensure plans are realistic, integrated, and achievable
- Managing schedule risk, critical paths, and dependencies across multi-discipline, high-complexity projects
- Using SAP to track progress, materials, production milestones, and performance
- Providing clear schedule reporting, forecasts, and insights to support data-driven decision-making
- Driving continuous improvement in planning standards, tools, and processes
