Responsibilities

Develop and maintain detailed Primavera P6 schedules for complex facility, utility infrastructure, and substation projects.
Develop cost- and resource-loaded schedules and integrate schedule progress with cost information for forecasting, resource planning, cash-flow projections, and earned value analysis.
Develop integrated project schedules from approved scope, execution plans, engineering deliverables, procurement requirements, construction sequencing, and contractual milestones.
Establish and maintain approved baseline schedules and compare current schedules against baselines to identify milestone movement, variance, and developing concerns.
Integrate EPC, contractor, subcontractor, and schedule-fragment schedules into project and program master schedules while maintaining appropriate logic and coding structures.
Integrate Primavera P6 data with platforms such as Oracle Unifier, K2, SAP, and IBM Planning Analytics.
Maintain compliance with established WBS, project and global codes, calendars, templates, and scheduling procedures.
Analyze schedules for compression and recovery opportunities and work with project teams and contractors to develop mitigation and recovery strategies.
Conduct Time Impact Analyses by developing and inserting schedule fragments to evaluate prospective effects of changes, field conditions, procurement delays, and other project events.
Evaluate potential schedule impacts from design changes, procurement delays, construction constraints, contractor performance, and field conditions.
Perform schedule delay analysis in Primavera P6 to identify, quantify, and assess delays affecting critical and near-critical paths, milestones, and forecast completion dates.
Perform CPM analysis to identify critical and near-critical activities, constraints, float erosion, emerging delays, and potential milestone impacts.
Perform earned value analysis and evaluate planned value, earned value, actual costs, schedule and cost performance, and forecast trends.
Perform schedule QA/QC reviews covering logic, open ends, constraints, excessive or negative float, out-of-sequence progress, durations, calendars, coding, and compliance with standards.
Provide schedule analysis and recommendations to project leadership concerning delays, resource constraints, sequencing, and milestone risks.
Develop dashboards and management reports communicating schedule status, milestone performance, critical-path activities, variance, cost trends, and forecast completion dates.
Publish approved schedules, reports, and schedule extracts in PDF, Excel, and other required formats to designated SharePoint and document-control locations and Oracle Unifier.
Maintain project schedules and controls data in Primavera P6, Oracle Unifier, and other enterprise systems, and support integration with ERP and business-intelligence platforms.
Collaborate with project-controls leadership and stakeholders to develop and refine schedule templates, procedures, standards, coding structures, and scheduling manuals.
Communicate schedule deficiencies and recommend corrective actions to project managers, project-controls personnel, contractors, and other stakeholders.
Communicate effectively verbally and in writing to varied audiences, present to large audiences, and work effectively in individual and group settings.
Coordinate schedule information with cost-controls and project-management teams to prepare reports on actual and forecast costs, cash flows, schedule performance, and cost/schedule trends.
Coordinate scheduling across multiple projects and with other schedulers to maintain consistent methods and reporting standards.
Develop, train, and mentor lower-level schedulers.
Facilitate regular schedule-review meetings with project managers, engineering, procurement, construction, contractors, and client stakeholders to validate progress and resolve schedule issues.
