• Break down project scope into structured WBS levels and logically linked activities with appropriate resource loading.
• Update schedules on a weekly or monthly cycle to reflect actual progress, delays, and changes.
• Ensure the schedule maintains proper logic, sequencing, and a realistic critical path throughout the project lifecycle.
• Perform critical path and float analysis, along with “what-if” scenario modeling to support informed decision-making.
• Generate schedule reports, dashboards, progress curves, manpower histograms, S-curves, and earned value analysis.
• Identify schedule variances and provide recommended recovery or mitigation strategies.
• Collaborate with engineering, procurement, construction, and subcontractor teams to collect data and validate schedule accuracy.
• Lead and support schedule review sessions with project teams and stakeholders, presenting risks, impacts, and forecasted outcomes.
• Support planning and schedule development during pre-construction, bidding, and project handoff phases.
• Incorporate approved changes and scope adjustments into schedule updates and forecasts.
• Maintain and document baseline, current, and forecast schedule versions.
• Prepare time-impact analyses (TIA) for delays, changes, and claims as required.
