The Programme Scheduler is a critical post within the New Hospital Programme, Norfolk & Waveney University Hospitals Group, responsible for design, production, integration and management of the Team’s project and programme-level scheduling activity across all elements of the New Hospital Programme development and construction.
The postholder is the principal lead for programme scheduling, ensuring robust, logic‑linked schedules that accurately reflect internal and external workstreams and their interdependencies.
