Responsibilities

• Use P6 software to develop and maintain EPC project schedules based on realistic execution plans.
• Assist in planning the project by analyzing project documents, design drawings, contracts, and exhibits to understand specific requirements that form the basis of the EPC schedule.
• Perform basic quantity take-offs to establish accurate activity durations and maintain working files used in baseline development, including Excel trackers, weather data, PPA agreements, etc.
• Consult with internal groups (engineering, procurement, project managers, and field management) to gather feedback.
• Seek feedback from stakeholders, including owners and third-party consultants, to increase buy-in and accuracy of the schedule.
• Ensure sound logic and realistic durations are built into the schedule using CPM best practices.
• Attend project meetings (pre-construction, coordination, and monthly owner meetings) to address schedule-related challenges.
• Update the schedule at least twice a month to incorporate actuals, monitor deviations from the critical path, and suggest corrective actions.
• Communicate schedule updates to the project team and senior scheduler; maintain schedule reports in Teams and SharePoint.
