Develop and maintain baseline schedules, current schedules, forecasts, and recovery schedules. Establish activity logic, relationships, durations, milestones, constraints, and critical paths. Monitor project progress and identify potential delays, conflicts, and schedule risks. Perform schedule analysis, including critical path, float, near-critical activities, and schedule variance. Work closely with Project Managers, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and other stakeholders to obtain accurate schedule updates. Track actual progress against planned progress and identify deviations from the approved baseline. Support development of schedule recovery and mitigation strategies when projects fall behind plans. Forecast project completion dates and identify potential impacts to project objectives. Coordinate multiple concurrent projects and priorities within a broader project portfolio. Review contractor and subcontractor schedules for logic, sequencing, completeness, and alignment with project objectives.
