• Manage workload distribution across the project schedule and monitor customer delivery and job installation progress to ensure milestones are met.
• Coordinate closely with Project Management, Leads, and Superintendents to develop and maintain a detailed calendar from project implementation through completion.
• Identify, anticipate, and analyze schedule disparities or risks, and either correct them directly or escalate issues to Project Management with clear recommendations.
• Provide the Project Manager with all necessary scheduling data and insights to support the creation of weekly and monthly project reports.
• Interpret blueprints, specifications, and other project documents to accurately reflect scope, sequencing, and quality requirements in the schedule.
• Support the development and implementation of project process improvements, leveraging scheduling insights to enhance efficiency and predictability.
• Promote a positive, professional project culture and represent the company’s mission and values to employees, vendors, clients, and business partners.
• Prepare and deliver clear written and oral presentations on schedule status, critical path, milestones, and schedule impacts to project stakeholders.
• Learn and effectively use company project management systems and tools in conjunction with Primavera P6.
• Perform additional scheduling and project support responsibilities as assigned.
