2. Project Planning & Timeline Governance

- Maintain the Master Project Tracker on a daily basis.
- Conduct daily tracker reviews/stand-ups and identify timeline risks.
- Monitor projects that are on track, delayed, or at risk.
- Act on amber risks before they become red/escalation issues.
- Track days-on-us versus days-on-client/possession and ensure appropriate clock-stops are applied.
- Ensure timeline delays are factually attributed to client, possession, or internal causes.

3. Design & Pre-Execution Coordination

- Coordinate with Designers, PID, 2D Draftsman and Cut-list teams.
- Review designer weekly plans and balance workload across approximately 4–5 projects per designer.
- Ensure 2D sign-off is completed as per project timelines.

- Ensure critical queries are addressed the same day and standard queries within the defined 48-hour SLA.
- Monitor query ageing and follow up with relevant stakeholders.
- Identify recurring issues and drive corrective action.
- Escalate risks proactively rather than waiting for client escalation.

6. Client Communication & Experience





- Establish and maintain a fixed communication cadence throughout design and execution.
- Ensure proactive project updates are shared before the client needs to ask for status.
- Monitor client feedback and ratings.
- Act on low client-rating alerts on the same day with appropriate PID/action.

- Track production status on a weekly basis.
- Coordinate vendor kick-off with the Project Engineer.
- Ensure phase-wise quality gates are completed.
- Monitor site readiness, execution progress and snags.

8. Project Closure
