Responsibilities

Serve as the primary day-to-day liaison between the project organization and Supply Chain for assigned equipment packages; monitor Supply Chain’s development and execution of delivery plans against project milestones.
Hold Supply Chain accountable to agreed schedules, milestone dates, and reporting cadences; formally request recovery plans when deficiencies are identified and monitor execution until performance is restored.
Ensure Supply Chain is developing and maintaining detailed schedules consistent with project-level milestones in the Integrated Master Control Schedule (IMCS).
Facilitate cross-functional alignment meetings with EPC, Operations, and Engineering on behalf of EDM; flag and drive engagement when alignment gaps exist.
Coordinate planning of project integration activities related to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Equipment Qualification (EQ), commissioning, and system turnover.

Hold full cost account management (CAM) responsibility for assigned equipment packages, including budget ownership, cost control, and EV baseline integrity in compliance with EVMS requirements.
Establish, maintain, and defend the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) for assigned cost accounts; authorize and control allocation of budget to Supply Chain.
Review supplier monthly reports and validate earned value inputs provided by Supply Chain; challenge unsupported progress claims and ensure EV is grounded in physical completion.
Calculate and analyze EV metrics on the defined reporting cycle; identify cost and schedule performance trends and distinguish transient anomalies from systemic variances requiring corrective action.
Develop and maintain the Estimate at Completion (EAC) for each assigned cost account using EV performance data, risk-adjusted projections, and remaining work assessments; update on the defined reporting cycle with written justification for any revision.
Serve as the primary initiator of change control for assigned cost accounts; identify, document, and route all required scope, cost, and schedule changes through the approved PCN process.
Lead project impact assessments for project impacting Supplier Coordination Requests (SCRs) identifying deviation, non-conformance, or cost impact; review forecast variances submitted by Supply Chain and prepare recommendations for leadership approval.
Ensure all approved changes are reflected in the IMCS in a timely manner; coordinate with PMO controls to maintain baseline integrity.
Identify, document, and track project risks arising from equipment delivery activities, cost performance, and schedule status for assigned packages.
Escalate risks that increase overall project risk exposure following project risk management procedures.
