Responsibilities

Review contractor baseline construction schedules for conformance with plans and specifications, including WBS, sequencing, critical path, logic ties, activities, and resource loading.
Coordinate constructability reviews of baseline schedule submittals and identify missing activities, float suppression or sequestering, conflicts, and other deficiencies.
Ensure project WBSs are properly coded and resource loaded; provide written evaluations, comments, and responses on baseline schedule submittals.
Coordinate with contractor schedulers to clarify and resolve schedule deficiencies.
Review contractor monthly schedule updates, identifying logic changes, inaccurate progress reporting, critical path changes, and other relevant issues.
Identify variations from the plan, analyze their causes, and report findings.
Review construction progress and inspection reports and maintain an accurate as-built schedule for construction, monthly schedule update reviews, and Time Impact Analysis evaluations.
Attend weekly construction meetings and monitor three-week look-ahead schedules for accuracy and consistency with baseline schedules and updates; promptly report slippage, unsatisfactory performance, and other variances.
Identify critical and near-critical path changes that could affect phases, milestones, or overall project duration.
Provide written responses and approval recommendations for schedule submittals and coordinate schedule comments and corrections with contractors.
Maintain an Owner shadow schedule using sources such as daily inspection and quality control reports and site visits; identify potential delays or adjustments and use it to evaluate contractor updates.
Review contractor Time Impact Analyses and provide written responses, evaluations, and recommendations regarding time extensions as appropriate.
Identify schedule variances and opportunities and develop mitigation strategies for the Project Management team.
Prepare 'what if' schedule impact assessments for contemplated additional work and potential resequencing of phases or construction activities.
Evaluate and forecast project status against established baseline schedules; assess milestone impacts and report status to management to help mitigate overruns and schedule slippage.
Provide direct scheduling support across multiple projects and report to multiple Project Managers.
Support planning or design projects and construction projects within a Master Program Schedule Plan, as needed, reporting to the Landside Element Management Team when applicable.
Maintain a master schedule system to track project-interface time impacts across electrical airfield systems, mechanical systems, airfield operations, and other aviation-related disciplines and projects, as required.
Develop and analyze man-hour resources, equipment resources, and cost-loaded, time-phased schedules.
Prepare detailed plans, time-scaled charts, diagrams, and quantity tracking to measure construction performance.
Maintain simplified logic schedules to highlight key-interface status for critical path review.
Prepare progress reports and briefing materials, and develop reporting tools to communicate complex sequencing and progress assessments.
Participate in reviews with third-party schedulers and provide written comments.
Analyze and assess project milestones and report fiscal impacts and risks to management.
Collaborate with stakeholders to advance PDG goals and develop planning and design schedules.
Support overlapping scheduling tasks, issue management, meeting facilitation, document control, and monthly status reporting to Project Management Teams.
