• EPC, OEM, PMO, Owner Engineer, and contractor schedules reviewed through a disciplined monthly and weekly update process with clear owner comments, action tracking, and escalation of critical-path risks.
• Schedule governance standards implemented, including baseline control, progress measurement, schedule narratives, change incorporation, coding conventions, milestone definitions, and reporting calendars.
• Near-term look-ahead and constraint-management process established to identify decisions, permits, engineering deliverables, material requirements, and site-readiness actions that could delay execution.
• Executive schedule reporting provides a reliable view of critical path, milestone confidence, emerging slippage, recovery options, and required owner decisions.

• Develop and maintain milestone dashboards, schedule metrics, executive summaries, near-term look-aheads, and schedule inputs for weekly and monthly project reporting.
• Support change management and claims avoidance by assessing schedule impacts associated with design changes, late decisions, procurement delays, differing conditions, contractor notices, and change orders.
• Coordinate with cost controls, risk, change, and reporting functions to maintain alignment among schedule, cost, cash flow, risk exposure, and forecast completion dates.
• Support development of stage-gate, permitting, long-lead equipment, fabrication, delivery, site-readiness, energization, commissioning, turnover, and commercial operation milestones.
• Maintain schedule documentation, assumptions, basis, coding structures, calendars, and audit trails sufficient to support governance, executive review, and potential commercial or claims analysis.
