• Conduct site visits to active heavy civil construction projects to verify progress, document conditions, and perform or review schedule updates.
• Perform “what-if” schedule scenarios to assess impacts to milestones and overall project delivery.
• 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.
• Attend and participate in client progress and scheduling meetings; confidently present schedule updates, analyses, and recommendations.
