Access to scripts when running notebook as a Job

Using Cloud Pak for Data 3.0, Watson Studio. Created a project from new with git integration and JupyterLab IDE enabled.

Using JupyterLab I then created a notebook and created a .py script with some functions. These were then synced with the git repo in Jupyter Lab.

The next part is to Pull from Git in the Project itself. I get the notebook and script both pulled down - the ones I've created via Jupyter Lab. Back in JupyterLab, checking through the console I can see that both of these files are synced to /project_data/jupyterlab folder.

I can then go back to the Project and schedule a job with the notebook I have pulled.

The issue arises when the notebook I'm scheduling as a job does not have access to /project_data/jupyterlab folder, and so it cannot access .py script for the function that I'm using in my notebook. I understand that is because of what gets mounted in the pod:
