Manage float as a program resource, monitoring consumption across projects and identifying where surplus on one project can release constrained resources to another

Coordinate schedule interfaces between projects, including shared corridors, shared outage windows, common long-lead equipment, and adjacent utility dependencies
Author and maintain the program schedule specification, scheduling procedures, schedule quality criteria, and schedule KPI definitions, in collaboration with client governance teams
Establish the contractor schedule review and acceptance process, and the thresholds at which schedule movement requires narrative justification, impact analysis, or escalation
Lead review and acceptance of EPC contractor baseline and update schedules across multiple contractors, holding a consistent standard across the portfolio
Own schedule change control, assessing impacts of scope change, evaluating delay claims and time extension requests, and supporting mitigation and recovery planning
Drive continuous improvement of scheduling practice, feeding lessons learned back into procedures, templates, and training
Serve as the senior scheduling point of contact for owner program leadership, presenting portfolio schedule performance, forecast confidence, and recovery options in program and executive reviews
Lead schedule discussions with EPC contractors, holding them to the specification while keeping the working relationship productive
Work on site at the client's downtown Houston offices on a regular basis as an embedded member of the internal project team
