• Foster a collaborative work environment focused on teamwork, communication, and safe work execution.
• Develop, maintain, and monitor project schedules using Primavera P6 to ensure work is executed safely and efficiently.
• Monitor field performance, productivity, and schedule adherence while identifying and mitigating execution challenges.
• Maintain accurate work status information and communicate project progress, issues, and recovery plans to management and stakeholders.
• Review and validate work packages developed by work planners to ensure scope, sequencing, resources, and execution plans are clearly defined and executable.
• Coordinate materials, equipment, tools and resources necessary to support planned work activities.
• Interpret and utilize construction drawings, blueprints, schematics, and engineering documents to support field execution, work package development, and resolve construction issues.
• Lead constructability reviews and provide input regarding work sequencing, access requirements, and field execution strategies.
• Participate in investigations of abnormal events, incidents, and near misses and assist with implementation of corrective actions.

Qualifications

• 10 years of work experience, including 5+ years of experience in construction, maintenance, facility operations, or field supervision.
• Nuclear project or operational experience is required.
• Experience supporting or leading facility upgrades, renovations, modifications, or maintenance projects in an operating facility environment.
• Leadership and supervisory skills with the ability to organize, direct, and coordinate craft personnel and subcontractors.
