• Monitor field progress and provide routine schedule updates to the lead scheduler, project team, and key stakeholders.
• Identify emerging schedule risks such as vessel standby, activity conflicts, bottlenecks, or potential delays before they affect execution.
• Develop recovery plans and alternative execution schedules to evaluate schedule, cost, and risk implications.
• Coordinate regularly with project personnel, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to keep deliverables and construction activities aligned.
• Translate complex offshore scopes into logical vessel work fronts and actionable construction sequences.

• Previous planning or scheduling experience supporting offshore construction projects.
• Demonstrated exposure to offshore scopes such as pipelay, infield development, diving, dredging, trenching, or similar marine construction activities.
• Proficiency with Primavera P6; experience with MS Project is also beneficial.
• Ability to interpret scopes of work, project drawings, schedules, and other technical project documentation.
• Experience supporting active, in-progress projects where schedule feedback and corrective actions must be delivered quickly.
• Strong communication skills for coordinating with field personnel, contractors, project teams, suppliers, and stakeholders.
• Excellent organization and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and changing priorities.
