Leadership & Facilitation
- Serve as the integrator across estimating, engineering, project controls, procurement, logistics, safety, and quality teams.
- Facilitate workshops, resolve conflicts, and ensure deliverables meet standards before executive review.
- Present key elements of the playbook during the PKOM, defending assumptions and recommendations to SBU executives.
Training & Mentorship
- Train project team members on the use of playbook tools, forms, and processes (e.g., InfraLink®, Planner action item tracking, cost validation methods).
- Mentor junior engineers and analysts on structured planning best practices.
- Capture lessons learned during Gate Check and KPR meetings to refine future playbook execution.
