• Lead and coordinate scheduling personnel supporting construction and tool install project activities across multiple sites and functional areas.
• Coordinate scheduling team workload, task assignments, staffing support, vacation coverage, overtime planning, and resource balancing activities.
• Ensure scheduling deliverables, reporting requirements, and project updates are completed accurately and on schedule.
• Maintain oversight of schedule quality, schedule integrity, and compliance with project scheduling standards and best practices.
• Support onboarding and training efforts for new scheduling personnel, including system orientation, scheduling workflows, and operational processes.
• Develop and maintain scheduling procedures, work instructions, and process documentation supporting scheduling operations and reporting activities.
• Partner with project leadership to support long term scheduling strategy, reporting improvements, schedule integration processes, and roadmap planning initiatives.
• Coordinate directly with project stakeholders regarding schedule analysis requests, forecasting needs, milestone development, reporting enhancements, and schedule logic changes.
• Perform schedule benchmarking analysis, schedule health reviews, and high level schedule performance evaluations.
• Support development and maintenance of project indicators, dashboards, reporting platforms, and executive level schedule summaries.
• Provide leadership and guidance regarding scheduling standards, scheduling methodologies, and integrated project scheduling requirements.
• Support integration and alignment between scheduling systems, reporting tools, and project data environments while monitoring data consistency and issue resolution activities.
• Lead resolution efforts for schedule update conflicts, sequencing issues, logic discrepancies, and reporting inconsistencies.
• Perform QA/QC reviews of schedules to ensure accuracy, consistency, completeness, and schedule quality standards are maintained.
• Support new project startup activities including schedule development strategy, schedule assumptions, milestone structure, and integration planning.
• Provide scheduling input regarding implementation feasibility of new business processes, reporting workflows, and operational changes.
• Drive schedule recovery planning, schedule leveling efforts, and focused task force initiatives when required.
• Support resource loading activities, forecasting efforts, and workload planning initiatives.
• Provide backup coverage for scheduling team responsibilities as needed to maintain continuity and project support.
• Support project data integrity during schedule updates, imports, exports, and system integration activities.
• Coordinate implementation closeout scheduling activities and turnover reporting requirements.
