• Prepare clear, well-documented technical reports, narratives, charts, and graphics summarizing schedule analyses and findings.
• Provide quality review of schedule-related reports prepared by others.

Key Attributes:

• Exceptional written, verbal, and organizational skills.

• Strong, intuitive understanding of construction principles, sequencing, and contractor means and methods.
