• Planning, statusing, monitoring, and reporting of the Engineering scope within the cost and schedule constraints agreed to by the Leidos PM and the CAM.
• Lead discussions in definition of scope for the respective Control Accounts (CA) and decomposition of discrete, deliverable-oriented, tasking and setting expectations for your respective project team members.
• Plan and execute a hardware centric project - define Control Account (CA) tasks and required resources necessary to maintain CAs and program objectives.
• Communicate and review staffing needs with associated functional managers across each Control Accounts (CA).
• Coordinate CA focused program activities across multiple functional group activities.
• Ownership of the CA budgets and schedules: Variance analysis (SPI/CPI/TCPI), Schedule analysis (BEI/CEI), BCR submittals, Status of work package tasks under assigned control account, Validation of actual costs charged to the assigned control accounts, Development and implementation of corrective actions, Generation of timely Estimated to Completes (ETC).
• Review, approve, and disseminate Control Account Work Authorizations (CAWA) to team members throughout the program’s lifecycle and baseline control process.
• Responsible for entering all monthly inputs in the Leidos EVM tool (LENS). Includes changes related to integrated master schedule (IMS) status, baseline change requests (BCRs), estimate to complete (ETC) and variance analysis reporting (VAR), writing schedule/cost recovery plans.
