• Integrate schedules from multiple disciplines, subcontractors, and work packages to ensure alignment and consistency across the overall project plan.
• Review and interpret engineering and commercial documents, including contracts, scope of work, general arrangement drawings, bills of materials, and project estimates, to ensure schedule accuracy and completeness.
• Identify potential scope changes, schedule risks, and impacts, and communicate findings and recommended mitigation strategies to project and functional leadership.
• Facilitate and support schedule development workshops, work sessions, and coordination meetings with project teams, subcontractors, and stakeholders.
• Identify, analyze, and incorporate project constraints, including resource availability, outages, permitting, inspections, and external dependencies.
• Develop and evaluate alternative planning and sequencing scenarios to mitigate schedule risk and minimize impacts to key milestones.
• Estimate activity durations using historical data, benchmarking, and industry standards, ensuring alignment with execution strategies.
• Load, level, and analyze resources within project constraints, and generate resource curves to validate schedule feasibility.
• Review, validate, and integrate schedule updates and inputs from project teams, clients, and subcontractors to ensure data integrity and compliance with standards.
• Assess the impact of progress updates on critical path activities, interim milestones, contractual dates, and overall project completion.
