Responsibilities

• Review contractor baseline construction schedules for conformance with plans and specifications, including WBS breakdown, sequencing, critical path, logic ties, activities, and resource loading.
• Conduct and coordinate constructability reviews of baseline schedule submittals; identify missing activities, float sequestering or suppression, conflicts, and other deficiencies.
• Ensure project WBS elements are properly coded and resource loaded, provide written evaluations and comments, and coordinate with contractor schedulers to resolve deficiencies.
• Review monthly contractor schedule updates for logic changes, accurate progress reporting, critical-path changes, and other relevant issues; identify and report variations from the plan and their causes.
• Review construction progress and inspection reports and maintain an accurate as-built schedule for construction, schedule-update review, and Time Impact Analysis evaluation.
• Attend weekly construction meetings, monitor three-week look-ahead schedules, identify inconsistencies and schedule slippage, and report unsatisfactory performance or other variances.
• Identify critical-path or near-critical-path changes that may affect project phases, milestones, or duration; provide written responses and approval recommendations and coordinate corrections with contractors.
• Maintain an owner shadow schedule using information such as daily inspection and quality-control reports and site visits; identify potential delays or schedule adjustments and use the schedule to evaluate contractor updates.
• Review contractor Time Impact Analyses and provide written evaluations, responses, and recommendations regarding time extensions; identify schedule variances and opportunities and develop mitigation strategies with the Project Management team.
• Prepare LAWA what-if schedule-impact assessments for contemplated additional work or potential resequencing; evaluate and forecast project status against the baseline and report milestone impacts to management.
• Provide direct scheduling support across multiple projects, reporting to multiple Project Managers; support planning, design, and construction projects within a master program schedule as needed.
• Maintain master schedule systems to track project interfaces and time-frame impacts across aviation-related disciplines and projects, as required.
• Develop and analyze man-hour and 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 for critical-path review of key interfaces.
