• Track the status, approval, expiration, and renewal of site access requests and country/theater clearances and identify potential access-related impacts to project schedules, travel, and implementation activities.
• Identify scheduling conflicts, dependencies, delays, resource constraints, access issues, and potential roadblocks; assess their impact and communicate concerns to Project Managers and appropriate stakeholders.
• Coordinate internal resources, vendors, subcontractors, and site personnel to support timely execution of project activities and achievement of milestones.
• Maintain comprehensive project and site trackers using Microsoft Excel and other approved tools, including schedules, action items, deliverables, site status, risks and issues, resource requirements, dependencies, access requirements, and completion metrics.
