You will be responsible for

• Developing and maintaining construction work packages that support efficient field execution.
• Supporting implementation of Workface Planning processes and construction readiness programs.
• Coordinating engineering, procurement, construction, and project controls activities to ensure work is executable before release to the field.
• Identifying and removing constraints that could impact construction productivity, schedule performance, or workforce efficiency.
• Reviewing engineering deliverables, specifications, drawings, and construction documentation to develop work package requirements.
• Ensuring labor, materials, tools, equipment, scaffolding, permits, and supporting documentation are available prior to work execution.
• Coordinating with Materials Management and Procurement teams to verify material availability and readiness.
• Supporting workforce planning, labor forecasting, and resource optimization activities.
• Monitoring work package readiness and maintaining construction readiness reports, look-aheads, and performance metrics.
• Supporting construction sequencing, execution strategies, and installation planning activities.
• Participating in daily, weekly, and monthly planning and coordination meetings.
• Collaborating with field supervision and craft leadership to identify productivity improvement opportunities.
• Supporting Project Controls and Scheduling teams by integrating workface planning activities with project schedules.
• Monitoring field progress and identifying execution risks that may impact project objectives.
• Assisting in developing recovery plans and mitigation strategies when schedule or productivity issues arise.
• Providing technical guidance and mentorship to planners, coordinators, and project personnel as appropriate.
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives related to work packaging, construction planning, execution efficiency, and operational excellence.
