Identifies schedule risks, impacts, trends and recovery opportunities and recommends corrective actions to project managers (PM) and leadership. Evaluates schedule impacts to outage windows, pre-outage milestones, engineering deliverables, procurement lead times, construction sequencing, commissioning, in-service dates, plant resource availability and capital forecast commitments.

3) Produces and reviews schedule reporting, including weekly progress reports, three-week look-aheads, milestone summaries, monthly schedule narratives, portfolio dashboards, earned value inputs and leadership-level variance reporting. Provides forecast insights and schedule performance analysis to support project execution, stage-gate decisions, outage readiness, capital planning and Generation portfolio visibility.

4) Partners with PMs, engineering, construction, procurement, finance, plant leadership, operations, maintenance, outage planning and other Generation stakeholders to develop, validate and update project schedules. Leads schedule review meetings, facilitates schedule alignment across project teams and supports formal change control, reforecasting and baseline revision processes. Presents schedule status, risks and mitigation options in project, plant, outage readiness and leadership meetings.
