• Support the Project Managers by monitoring progress, tracking key metrics, and generating reports, while also ensuring compliance with project management standards.
• Analyze project data, identify patterns, and trends to understand project performance and identify areas for improvement. Prepare detailed reports and presentations on project status, risks, and issues, using data-driven insights.
• Manage modifications to the high-level engineering schedule through interfaces to project controls organization on behalf of engineering. Initiate and facilitate change process approvals for new and emerging engineering activities consistent with project scheduling standards.
• Align and manage breakdown of the high-level engineering tasks into discretized activity schedules (subtask breakdown) for a multitude of design teams.
• Verify and track team assignments within schedule, manage engineering resource levelization over time and generate resource forecasting on a bi-monthly basis. Communicate and coordinate buy-in from relevant stakeholders and track requests to resource managers.
• Develop, refine, and manage the standard design activity sequences in preparation for schedule development of future design phases and procurement activities. Generating detailed versions for specific activity sequences such as procurements or integrated analyses.
