Manufacturing and Supply Where the miracles of science are made a reality for patients

As IFF Project Schedule Lead within our Manufacturing & Supply InsuLINK program, you'll own the full project schedule for one of Sanofi's most ambitious capital investments — a €2Bn state-of-the-art insulin manufacturing facility in Frankfurt, Germany. You'll set the scheduling strategy, drive Progress monitoring, and keep a large, complex multi-year program on track from engineering through to commissioning and validation. This role requires routine on-site presence in Frankfurt during construction and CQV phases. Ready to get started?

• Drive schedule control throughout engineering, execution, and validation phases by measuring physical and hourly progress, tracking milestones, and monitoring schedule performance indices (SPI)
• Identify and manage deviations from baseline proactively — analyzing schedule impacts, alerting the project manager, proposing corrective actions, and following through on resolution
• Ensure compliance with project change management procedures, supporting the project manager in scope changes and integrating associated impacts into the schedule
• Produce regular schedule reports — including dashboards, progress curves, and performance indices (PO tracking, deliveries, SPI) — on a weekly and monthly basis for project and leadership audiences
• Lead schedule workshops and update meetings , using cloud-based collaboration platforms (including Loadspring ) to align Engineering, Construction, CQV, and Procurement teams on a common, up-to-date schedule
