  • Support project risk management, including maintaining risk registers and contributing to quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis
  • Monitor engineering and construction progress against planned quantities and productivity benchmarks; identify and escalate performance issues requiring corrective action
  • Establish and enforce project controls procedures, including document control standards and deliverable tracking
