- Lead or support forensic schedule analysis, including delay analysis, time-impact analysis, root-cause review, and documentation for claims or dispute-resolution efforts.
- Develop and refine short-interval plans, look-ahead schedules, and task-specific micro schedules in partnership with field leadership.
- Participate in recurring schedule-update meetings with general contractors and key project stakeholders.
- Export, import, and reconcile schedule data between Primavera P6, Smartsheet, and other project-planning platforms.
- Review schedule submissions for quality, accuracy, completeness, contractual compliance, and alignment with project requirements.
- Support project managers in developing short-term execution schedules and assessing their impact on the overall master schedule.
- Compare prior and current schedule updates to identify logic changes, activity shifts, milestone movement, schedule compression, and emerging risks.
- Contribute to scheduling standards, reporting processes, continuous improvement initiatives, and mentoring of junior scheduling personnel as needed.
