Job Description Summary

The Global C&C Resource Strategy & Planning Lead He/she is responsible for defining and driving both the long-term resource strategy and the short- to mid-term resource planning for Construction & Commissioning (C&C) activities across global projects and regions.

The role has two main dimensions. First, it leads the development of the long-term global load plan across all C&C roles and business segments, working closely with regional teams and the GSI Service & Operation organization (S&OP). Based on this demand outlook, the role supports the definition of the resource strategy, including hiring, competency development, and external partnerships.

Second, the role drives global resource planning and optimization across ongoing projects, enabling cross-region to support and COE resource allocation to meet business and project priorities. While HVDC commissioning is expected to be a significant area of focus, the scope extends across all relevant segments and C&C resource needs.

This role works closely with regional leaders, project teams, commissioning, construction, engineering, project controls, HR, and S&OP stakeholders to provide visibility on demand, capacity, utilization, constraints, and deployment priorities, while supporting standardization and continuous improvement in planning practices.
