Responsibilities
You will provide technical guidance to the employees assigned to you as part of the resource planning process. In doing so, you will review tasks and assignments, assess schedules for capacity feasibility, and provide feedback on feasibility
Efficient resource management is also part of your responsibilities: you ensure a high and consistent utilization rate, detect over- and under-capacity early on, and identify critical resources—supported by annual, monthly, weekly, and daily schedules
In addition, you make make-or-buy decisions within defined parameters and schedule in-house staff, service providers, materials, vehicles, and production aids for construction, operations, and maintenance processes
You will also efficiently manage call-offs under framework agreements and oversee bidding and award procedures to ensure optimal utilization of service providers
Providing telephone consultations to customers on issues related to the construction of grid connections is also part of your daily routine
When deploying both in-house staff and service providers simultaneously, you will coordinate all scheduling processes
Furthermore, you will assist in the creation, review, and adjustment of guidelines for work planning and coordinate closely with operations managers
In addition, you will request aerial imagery analyses and other permits (e.g., traffic regulations, work on federal, county, and state roads, work on KVB facilities) and incorporate the resulting feedback into operational management
Within your area of responsibility, you will assign tasks based on your employees’ skills and ensure that substitution arrangements are in place
You will conduct orientations, briefings, and training sessions on technical topics as well as on occupational safety and environmental protection—and ensure that these are consistently applied
You handle project-related special tasks independently and in a solution-oriented manner
Finally, you review service provider invoices, including technical documentation

You apply your knowledge of relevant legal and technical regulations as well as applicable guidelines with confidence and expertise
