- Maintain baseline and current schedules in accordance with project controls procedures, including documentation of changes.
Progress Monitoring & Reporting
- Update schedules using weekly progress reports, field updates, procurement status, and approved change events.

- Prepare schedule reports and visuals (Gantt charts, milestone trackers, look-aheads) for internal and external stakeholders.
- Assist with variance analysis versus baseline and help identify corrective actions with the project team.
- Support reporting deliverables using MS Office and reporting platforms (e.g., Power BI) as directed.
Coordination, Governance & Compliance
- Participate in schedule review meetings and working sessions; capture action items and follow up on schedule-related requests.
- Support integration of vendor/subcontractor schedules into the project schedule and help maintain alignment to contractual milestones.
- Maintain schedule documentation and audit trail (assumptions, basis of schedule inputs, change logs) in accordance with team procedures.
- Assist with Earned Value Management (EVM) and project controls reporting, as applicable, including time-phased progress updates.
- Promote a strong safety culture and maintain confidentiality of proprietary and project information.
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, project management, or related field (or equivalent relevant experience).

- Timeliness and accuracy of schedule updates and weekly reporting deliverables.
- Schedule data quality (e.g., logic integrity, minimal constraints, accurate progress status).
- Responsiveness to stakeholder requests and effectiveness in resolving schedule input gaps.
- Consistency in maintaining schedule documentation and change history.
- Contribution to on-time milestone tracking and forecast accuracy.
