Maintain project logic and sequencing to accurately reflect construction means and methods, activity relationships, and planned completion dates.

Monitor the project critical path, total float, and near-critical activities to identify potential delays and communicate schedule risks to the Project Manager and Superintendent.

Perform routine schedule updates using actual start and finish dates, field progress, and realistic estimates of remaining activity durations.

Coordinate with field supervision to collect progress information, validate activity status, and incorporate changes in construction sequencing and execution plans.

Prepare and distribute standard schedule reports, including the three-week field execution look-ahead, six-week subcontractor labor look-ahead, and other project-specific reporting required by the project team.

Assist with resource and manhour loading, manpower projections, and planned-versus-actual progress reporting to support workforce planning and schedule performance monitoring.

Track schedule variances against the approved baseline, identify activities falling behind plan, and communicate emerging issues to the project team.

Assist with recovery schedule development by evaluating sequencing alternatives, reviewing remaining durations, and incorporating agreed-upon corrective actions into the schedule.

Incorporate approved scope changes, revised work plans, subcontractor schedules, and vendor milestones into the project schedule.

Coordinate with procurement and project personnel to monitor long-lead equipment, materials, and delivery milestones that may affect construction activities.

Prepare schedule narratives and progress summaries documenting current status, milestone forecasts, schedule changes, and key risks.

Assist with time-impact analyses and schedule impact assessments for project changes, delays, and change-order documentation as directed by project leadership.

Verify schedule quality and compliance with P&E scheduling standards, including activity logic, constraints, progress status, and baseline maintenance requirements.

Maintain schedule files, baseline records, and revision snapshots in accordance with Company document-control and revision-management procedures.

Coordinate with Estimating and Project Controls to align scheduled work and budgeted manhours with project cost and progress reporting.

Participate in schedule review meetings with project management, field supervision, subcontractors, and clients as required.
