Establish and reinforce scheduling standards, procedures, best practices, and quality-control expectations across the company. Support staffing and resource planning for scheduling needs across the company. Visit project sites to validate progress, understand field conditions, and coordinate with project teams. Develop and oversee enterprise-wide scheduling reporting that provide executive leadership and project teams with visibility into portfolio performance, schedule trends, risks, forecasted impacts, and recommended actions.
