Integrated Master Scheduler / Operational Readiness Planner

Every day, Lonza’s teams across the world work together to turn scientific breakthroughs into life-changing medicines that reach up to 100 million patients a year. Lonza is a place where people can make a unique impact, grow their careers and belong.

Based on site in Bend, Oregon, you will play a critical role in bringing life-saving manufacturing facilities to life by developing, integrating, and governing the end-to-end master schedules.

This role is primarily based on site. Working together in person supports close, real‑time collaboration and the technical precision needed to manufacture medicines to the highest quality and safety standards. We offer flexibility to work remotely for no more than 20% of your time. Requests are considered on a case‑by‑case basis, in line with business needs.

What you will get:

An agile career and dynamic working culture. An inclusive and ethical workplace. Competitive hourly rate.

The hourly rate for this position is expected to range between $105 - $110

Compensation for this role will be determined by the candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and relevant knowledge.

What you will do:

• Build, integrate, and maintain the Primavera P6 Integrated Master Schedule, connecting Operational Readiness, CapEx, and multi-disciplinary workstreams into a single source of truth.

• Lead end-to-end schedule progress tracking and measurement to ensure all project phases stay strictly aligned with critical delivery targets.

• Partner closely with project leads and workstream teams to review schedules, validate critical progress updates, and resolve cross-functional dependencies.

• Continuously monitor the Integrated Readiness Plan (IRP) to identify deviations, track critical path variances, and mitigate delivery bottlenecks before they happen.

• Uphold and govern scheduling best practices using standardized Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), activity coding, and resource planning.

• Provide clear visibility to project leadership by delivering progress reports, trend analyses, and critical path metrics using automated and real-time reporting tools.

• Drive continuous improvement across the integrated planning framework, mentoring project contributors on schedule fidelity, governance, and data consistency.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience managing and integrating complex master schedules within capital projects, engineering, or operational readiness environments (biopharma/life sciences preferred).

• Advanced, hands-on proficiency in Primavera P6, including multi-project integration, baseline control, and Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis.

• Strong expertise in applying scheduling standards, governance frameworks (WBS, activity coding), and automated reporting workflows.

• Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills, with the ability to translate complex schedule data into actionable insights for diverse teams.

• A proactive problem-solving mindset capable of spotting critical variances early and recommending effective recovery strategies.

• A degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, Business, or a related field—or equivalent transferable practical experience in large-scale master scheduling.

You will feel at home at Lonza if you:

• Take ownership, step forward, and enjoy meaningful responsibility

• Love solving problems and thrive in a complex, fast-moving environment

• Are curious, always looking to learn and improve

• Work collaboratively, contributing to something bigger than yourself

• Are motivated to make a difference through work that impacts customers and their patients
