+ Create short-term execution plans, lookaheads, recovery schedules, what-if scenarios, baseline comparisons, and forecast updates that support timely delivery.

+ Integrate general contractor, subcontractor, supplier, manufacturing, logistics, QA/QC, commissioning, operations, and turnover schedule inputs into a consolidated controls view.

+ Validate schedule assumptions, progress updates, constraints, and readiness conditions through direct field engagement and stakeholder coordination.

Project Controls, Analytics & Executive Reporting

+ Support cost and schedule integration, variance analysis, recovery forecasting, and project or portfolio health reporting.

+ Prepare executive dashboards, performance scorecards, KPI summaries, action trackers, and narrative updates that translate schedule data into clear decisions.

+ Maintain data integrity across schedules, milestone logs, dependency trackers, risk registers, action logs, and reporting packages.

+ Analyze schedule, cost, progress, productivity, risk, and delivery data to identify trends, bottlenecks, drift, and improvement opportunities.

+ Develop or improve reporting workflows that provide timely project health indicators and reduce manual reporting burden.

Risk, Recovery & Dependency Management

+ Identify, quantify, and escalate schedule risks, critical dependencies, delayed decisions, long-lead procurement issues, supplier constraints, and turnover risks before they impact milestones.

+ Track mitigation plans, recovery actions, owners, due dates, and closure status with strong follow-through discipline.

+ Support schedule recovery, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, safety, risk, commissioning, and turnover reviews.

+ Maintain recovery forecasts, risk registers, dependency trackers, and escalation reports across assigned projects.

+ Facilitate alignment between project teams and leadership when change impacts schedule, cost, delivery, startup, or turnover readiness.

Supply Chain, Turnover & Field Coordination

+ Track long-lead procurement, supplier readiness, material availability, prefab/OSA/manufacturing readiness, logistics constraints, and site delivery conditions that affect schedule performance.

+ Support turnover readiness tracking, including turnover package completeness, readiness gates, handoff issues, punch list trends, commissioning milestones, and operations handoff milestones.

+ Participate in field walks, schedule reviews, recovery meetings, supplier readiness reviews, logistics coordination, commissioning reviews, and turnover readiness checks.

+ Compare schedule, supply, logistics, construction, commissioning, and turnover assumptions against actual site conditions.

+ Escalate constraints early and clearly so teams can protect milestones, turnover dates, and startup readiness.

Leadership, Tools & Continuous Improvement

+ Serve as a scheduling subject matter expert Oracle Primavera Cloud, and related controls or reporting tools.

+ Establish schedule standards, update cadence, coding structures, reporting expectations, quality checks, and governance practices.

+ Mentor schedulers, project controls analysts, and project team members on scheduling discipline, logic quality, reporting, and recovery planning.

+ Document and maintain project controls SOPs, schedule management processes, dashboard standards, and continuous improvement recommendations.

+ Promote TPM-style execution discipline through clear actions, owners, due dates, escalation paths, accountability, and action closure.

Responsibilities

Required Skills and Experience

+ Advanced hands-on experience with Primavera P6 and/or Oracle Primavera Cloud, including the ability to build, status, analyze, and govern CPM schedules.

+ Strong understanding of critical path method, float management, sequencing logic, schedule constraints, milestones, baseline management, forecast management, and recovery scheduling.

+ Experience integrating contractor, subcontractor, supplier, manufacturing, logistics, commissioning, QA/QC, operations, and turnover schedules.

+ Working knowledge of cost tracking, forecasting, variance analysis, change control, risk management, milestone reporting, and project controls governance.

+ Ability to validate project status, constraints, progress, and readiness conditions in the field and reconcile field conditions with schedule forecasts.

+ Experience maintaining risk registers, dependency trackers, action logs, mitigation plans, executive dashboards, and reporting packages.
