• Incorporating resource and/or cost data into schedules when required.

• Liaising with clients and project teams to discuss work impacts and resolve issues.

• Ensuring proper planning is completed before work begins by consulting the appropriate project team members and the client.

• Collaborating with project managers to develop short-term schedules, monitor progress against these schedules, evaluate impacts on the master schedule, and recommend corrective actions.

• Providing schedule-related information as needed regarding content, modifications, and presentation.

• Executing the integrated change control process for project schedules.

• Supporting project controls specialists and project managers with change management activities related to scope, cost, and schedule control requirements.

• Staying current with advances in scheduling software and planning tools.

• Assisting with the monitoring, evaluation, approval, and implementation of change requests.

• For projects requiring an on-site presence, working closely with clients to support scheduling and coordination requirements.

• Managing recurring and ad hoc reporting requirements and actively participating in project reporting activities.

• Performing other planning-related duties as directed by the Project Controls Manager.
