A Day in the Life
You'll develop, update, and maintain the cost and resource loaded program schedule for a large high-rise program. You'll stay close to on-site activity so every update reflects what is happening in the field.
You'll review schedules, support the Project Schedulers with monthly update analysis reports, and look into schedule impacts. When delays or cost overruns are possible, you'll recommend corrective action plans.
You'll also build what-if scenarios, mitigation schedules, look-ahead schedules, and time impact analyses. Then you'll report program status to the Executive Management Team and present it to the Program Controls Lead, the Owner, A/E representatives, and other contractors.
The office is at 3rd Avenue and 48th Street in Manhattan. The client would like someone to start as soon as possible.
