• Track schedule risk and identify critical path shifts, and interface/dependency issues between contractors early
• Support commissioning sequencing and milestone tracking in coordination with commissioning and engineering teams
• Liaise directly with contractor planning teams to resolve schedule discrepancies and drive alignment
• Present schedule status and forecasts to Owner, contractor, and stakeholder audiences
