Job Responsibilities

Project Standardization

• Apply established Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to represent the Level 4-5 WBS across Engineering, Physical Design, Manufacturing, Construction, and Commissioning phases.
• Partner with project teams to develop the project-specific Level 4-5 WBS by evaluating project scope and mapping it to the catalog of standard work, including standardized workflows and schedule alignment.
• Identify non-standard scope and coordinate with Operations and InfraLink leadership to document and develop a management approach.
• Identify and sequence system boundaries for each feature of work in accordance with established guidelines.
• Review and QC incremental physical and logical design uploads; ensure alignment with the WBS, naming conventions, and data attribute assignment.

Project Team Support

• Configure the InfraLink System Hierarchy to represent Level 1-3 of the project WBS using established standards.
• Provide day-to-day application support to project teams, including data uploads, workflow execution, report generation, and general system usage and adoption.
• Configure project workflows and generate work packages in accordance with established standards.
• Monitor Earned Value metrics and enable near real-time scheduled activity percent completion tracking.
• Synchronize schedule attributes between InfraLink and the project master P6 schedule; support near real-time bi-directional updates.
• Analyze project schedules against published project WBS.
• Prepare and present updates at weekly and monthly project meetings.

Continuous Improvement

• Document and develop recommendations for improving configuration standards across projects.
• Serve as the project-embedded liaison to the InfraLink software group: author technical requirements, participate in solution testing, and support deployment of software improvements to your projects.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelors Degree in Science - Preferably in an Engineering related discipline with 0+ years of experience.
• Experience with enterprise systems including CMMS (e.g., Maximo), Work Order management, or ERP platforms (e.g., SAP, Oracle); understanding of how these systems support operational workflows.
