• You'll support and participate in change order negotiations.
• You'll perform Critical Path Method (CPM) and Earned Value Management (EVM) analyses.
• You'll identify schedule-related issues and recommend corrective actions or innovative solutions.
• You'll conduct site visits to monitor and report on project progress.
• You'll review contractor schedule updates and prepare narratives for management decision-making.
• You'll evaluate contractor recovery plans and determine schedule feasibility.
• You'll perform cost and expenditure analyses to support project phases.
