• Review time impact analyses (TIA), evaluate time extension requests, and prepare written schedule evaluations and recommendations.

• Develop what-if schedules and mitigation strategies to evaluate proposed changes, resequencing, and potential project delays.

• Monitor project milestones, forecast schedule performance, and communicate risks, trends, and recommended corrective actions to management.

• Develop and maintain project and master schedules to coordinate multiple projects, disciplines, and interdependent activities.

• Prepare resource-loaded, cost-loaded, and time-phased schedules to support project controls and performance measurement.

• Prepare schedule reports, narratives, charts, and presentations to communicate construction progress and schedule performance.

• Coordinate schedule reviews, comments, and corrections with contractors, third-party schedulers, project managers, and other stakeholders.

• Support project coordination, document control, issue management, and monthly status reporting.

• Perform other scheduling and project controls duties as assigned.\

• Strong understanding of critical path method (CPM) scheduling, project management principles, and project controls.

• Experience reviewing baseline schedules, monthly updates, construction progress reports, and schedule narratives.

• Demonstrated ability to analyze schedule logic, critical path changes, project delays, and time impact analyses.

• Experience tracking field construction progress and maintaining accurate project schedules.

• Experience with resource loading, cost-loaded schedules, earned value measurement, and schedule forecasting.

• Experience working within master schedule and subproject scheduling environments involving multiple projects and interdependent activities.

• Demonstrated ability to prepare schedule evaluations, progress reports, and management presentations, including recommendations for risk mitigation and schedule recovery.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
