The role requires disciplined P6 and data management skills, clear communication, and traceable reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify missing or stale milestones, inconsistent start and finish dates, unexpected date movement, phase misalignment, and unresolved assumptions; document findings and coordinate clarification with the appropriate project manager or construction manager.

• Maintain consistent project and package identifiers, region and scope classifications, STIP phases, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes, activity codes, and milestone definitions in accordance with the PMP and BOCS.

• Schedule Maintenance and Forecasting.

• Support the development and monthly update of the integrated program schedule.

• Enter and verify actual dates, forecast start and finish dates, data date, progress, logic, calendars, constraints, activity coding, and supporting notes.

• Development and maintenance of the program schedule baseline.

• Assist with resource and cost loading, time-phased ramp production and expenditure profiles, and leadership-directed schedule scenarios or forecast options.

• Perform schedule-quality checks for open ends, leads and lags, constraints, out-of-sequence progress, critical and near-critical paths, float, coding completeness, and data-date discipline.

Bring your curiosity, passion for innovation, and talent for multi-tasking in a fast-paced environment. We’ll help you grow, pursue and fulfill what inspires you - so we can make big impacts on the world, together. 

• 2 or more years' experience in planning, scheduling, or project-controls experience on engineering, construction, transportation, or other capital projects.

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including tables, filters, XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, PivotTables, data validation, data manipulation, and summarization of large datasets.
