Lead Analyst, Project Schedule

Department: LNG

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: US TX Houston - Technip Office

The Caturus platform founded by Kimmeridge – an alternative asset manager focused on the energy sector – supports Kimmeridge’s overarching goal of providing low-cost energy on demand with the lowest carbon footprint.

Kimmeridge’s vision in creating Caturus is to build the only independent, fully integrated natural gas and LNG export platform in the U.S. through a combination of its upstream operations and via Commonwealth LNG, a 9.5 million tonnes per annum liquefied natural gas export terminal in southwestern Louisiana on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The combined entities are committed to delivering responsibly sourced, low‑emission fuel to domestic and international markets.

Caturus is a Houston‑based, private exploration and production company seeking to materially grow production through development of deep, high pressure, dry gas windows of the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk, as well as Haynesville formations located in Texas and Louisiana while maintaining a relentless focus on safety.

Commonwealth LNG was founded by industry veterans who decided to re‑engineer the LNG construction model. Using proven best practices, Commonwealth is committed to building a world‑class LNG export facility while focusing on safety, managing risk and achieving best‑in‑class environmental standards.

The Lead Schedule Analyst is responsible for supporting the development, integration, analysis, and reporting of the Integrated Master Schedule for a multibillion‑dollar greenfield LNG project. The role provides independent owner‑side schedule assurance, critical path analysis, forecasting support, and schedule risk visibility across engineering, procurement, modular fabrication, construction, commissioning, and startup activities.

The position interfaces closely with EPC contractors, modular fabrication yards, commissioning teams, and project leadership to ensure schedule integrity, forecast confidence, and alignment with project milestones including Mechanical Completion, Ready for Start‑Up (RFSU), and First LNG.

This role is highly analytical and strategic, with strong emphasis on executive reporting, early warning identification, schedule recovery analysis, and integrated project controls.

• Support maintenance and validation of the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) across all project phases.
• Review EPC contractor schedules for logic integrity, realism, critical path accuracy, and contractual compliance.
• Integrate engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and startup schedules into a consolidated owner‑side view.
• Ensure alignment between Level 1, Level 2, and detailed execution schedules.

• Perform critical path analysis and identify float erosion, logic concerns, and schedule threats.
• Monitor schedule performance indicators including SPI, milestone variance, and productivity trends.
• Analyze schedule impacts related to engineering delays, module fabrication, logistics, weather, labor productivity, and interface risks.
• Support development and assessment of recovery plans and acceleration scenarios.

• Support schedule forecasting activities and milestone confidence assessments.
• Participate in schedule risk analysis and Monte Carlo simulations.
• Assist with development of P50/P80 milestone forecasts.
• Identify emerging schedule risks and provide early warning reporting to project leadership.

• Review contractor‑reported progress for reasonableness and alignment with physical execution status.
• Support validation of engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction progress.
• Track milestone achievement and assess readiness for upcoming execution activities.

• Prepare schedule dashboards, executive summaries, and war room reporting materials.
• Develop schedule KPIs and trend reporting including:
• SPI trends
• Float erosion
• Milestone confidence
• Critical path movement
• Modular fabrication status
• Turnover readiness
