In the Siemens Gamesa offshore business unit we drive and manage big scale projects, often lasting 3-4 years of time from the contract signature to final takeover of the wind farm.

The Project Planner makes sure that the schedule is at all times updated, maintained, analysed and that it is communicated properly to the relevant stakeholders.
