Want to contribute to one of the world's most ambitious science projects while building your skills in planning, data and project coordination?

Join the FCC project's Scheduling, Planning & Resources Office and work with an international community of scientists, engineers and specialists. You will help us improve how we plan, organise and use project information, and gain hands-on experience of how a project of this scale comes together.

We are looking for someone curious, collaborative and eager to learn. You don't need to know everything from day one - we are interested in your potential, your ideas and your willingness to grow.

Your responsibilities

• Engage with teams across the FCC project to understand, gather and document their scheduling, planning and resource-management requirements.
• Help develop and improve the tools and workflows we use to plan resources.
• Support resource planning and tracking, helping ensure that project information is complete, consistent and up to date.
• Map and analyse processes, identifying opportunities to simplify workflows, improve efficiency and strengthen collaboration.
• Work with structured project data, helping improve its quality, consistency and usability.

Your profile

• A degree in business, finance, economics, management, engineering, or something related, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with digital tools and quick to pick up new systems (Excel is a must; exposure to planning tools, ERPs, or dashboarding tools like Power BI is a bonus, not a requirement).

Skills

• Requirements gathering and analysis, with an ability to understand different needs and translate them into clear requirements.
• Clear communication and collaboration in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
• Analytical and structured thinking, with attention to detail.
• Curiosity, initiative and willingness to learn.
• Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.
