Lead schedule review sessions with project stakeholders to ensure alignment, quality and commitment to project schedules.
Perform schedule quality reviews and ensure project schedules comply with established planning standards and governance requirements.
Issue progress reports, schedule updates, look-ahead schedules and planning analyses on a regular basis and as required by customers and project stakeholders.
Support tendering activities through the development of project schedules, planning deliverables, resource forecasts and schedule risk assessments.
Establish project baselines and support project teams during project start-up and planning activities.
Carry out pre-planning activities including reviews of scope of work, contractual requirements, work breakdown structures, engineering deliverables and project interfaces.
Work with suppliers, subcontractors and third parties to ensure plans are realistic and achievable and analyse contractor schedule performance.
Support risk and change assessments through schedule impact analysis and what-if scenario planning.
Promote planning best practices and contribute to the continuous improvement of project planning processes.
