• Build and maintain project schedules using Primavera P6, including activity logic, relationships, milestones, constraints, and critical path activities.
• Track actual progress against the baseline schedule and identify schedule variances, delays, and potential impacts to key project milestones.
• Analyze critical and near-critical path activities and identify potential schedule risks before they impact the project.
• Review contractor schedules and schedule updates to ensure alignment with project requirements and overall project objectives.
• Participate in project meetings, schedule reviews, and coordination meetings with owners, contractors, engineers, and project leadership.
• Develop look-ahead schedules and help project teams understand upcoming activities, constraints, and critical milestones.
• Assist with developing recovery schedules and mitigation plans when projects fall behind schedule.
• Prepare schedule reports, updates, narratives, and other project controls information for project leadership and clients.
• Work with field teams to validate progress and understand how construction activities, procurement, engineering, permitting, weather, and other factors may affect the schedule.
• Support change management by evaluating the potential schedule impacts of scope changes, delays, and other project events.
• Maintain accurate and organized project documentation and scheduling information.
• Travel to project sites as needed to support project teams and validate schedule progress.
