• Develop comprehensive, integrated project schedules for large-scale, complex construction projects across high-tech, mission critical, and commercial real estate sectors.
• Develop detailed schedules for each phase of the project, including design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover, ensuring alignment with project milestones, deliverables, and deadlines.
• Integrate schedules from multiple stakeholders, including general contractors, subcontractors, design teams, and suppliers.
• Monitor progress against the baseline schedule, track project performance, and generate regular progress reports for senior management, project teams, and external stakeholders.
• Provide early identification of schedule risks, delays, or issues and propose corrective actions or adjustments to keep the project on track.
• Conduct regular schedule reviews and update the project schedule based on changes in scope, design, and other unforeseen events.
• Proactively identify potential risks that could impact the schedule, including resource constraints, supply chain issues, or changes in regulatory requirements.
• Work with project teams to develop mitigation strategies to address identified risks and ensure minimal disruption to the project timeline.
• Continuously assess the critical path of the project and adjust schedules accordingly to maintain timely project delivery.
• Work closely with project managers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment on project goals and schedules.
• Serve as the central point of contact for schedule-related queries, ensuring clear communication between all project participants.
• Coordinate schedule adjustments and resource reallocation to minimize disruptions and optimize project flow.
• Ensure that resources (labor, materials, equipment) are efficiently allocated throughout the project lifecycle to meet critical milestones and deadlines.
• Work with procurement teams to identify and incorporate potential scheduling impacts due to supply chain constraints, material availability, or labor shortages.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date project documentation, including revised schedules, change orders, and project progress reports.
• Ensure that any schedule changes, extensions, or revisions are documented and approved by relevant stakeholders.
• Track and report on all delays and their impact on project timelines, as well as any corrective measures taken.
• Conduct post-project reviews to evaluate the performance of the scheduling process, identify lessons learned, and implement improvements for future projects.
• Recommend improvements to the scheduling process, tools, or practices based on project experiences.
