• Produce and distribute detailed schedule Variance Reports every two weeks, identifying logic changes, progress deviations, critical path shifts, and schedule risks
• Conduct critical path, near-critical path, and float analysis to identify and mitigate schedule risk
• Update schedules regularly using field progress, vendor updates, and subcontractor reports
• Perform schedule impact analyses, time impact analyses (TIAs), and recovery planning as required

• Experience in utility-scale solar, battery storage (BESS), transmission, substations, or large infrastructure projects strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of development-to-EPC project sequencing, procurement cycles, and field operations
• High level of self-motivation with the ability to independently drive schedule updates across multiple SME groups
• Proven ability to liaise with engineering, procurement, construction, and commercial teams for timely and accurate data collection
• Proficiency in Microsoft Project, Excel and project reporting tools
