• Guide the project team in identifying and mitigating risks and in seizing opportunities related to on-time delivery.
• Lead the preparation of schedule and progress reports, illustrating progress with relevant KPIs and the Earned Value Methodology.
• Support the Contract Manager in protecting the company's rights in time-related disputes and perform delay analysis.
