- Review the EPC contractor’s short term lookaheads against the accepted contractor schedule and work with the EPC contractor and project delivery and site teams to assess sequencing, access, resources and constraints.

- Undertake frequent site visits to validate progress, understand emerging issues and reflect site information in schedule updates and forecasts.

- Lead schedule analysis for changes, delays and extension of time assessments,



including time impact analysis, contractor submission reviews, scenario analysis and mitigation or recovery planning, working closely with Contracts.

- Jointly lead schedule risk analysis with the Risk Analyst, including reviewing schedule risks, challenging modelling parameters, assessing the EPC contractor’s analysis and undertaking SRA on the integrated master schedule.

- Prepare and present schedule performance, forecasts, risks, delay impacts and recovery scenarios to project leadership, executives, the Board and project and contractor governance forums.

- Collaborate across cost, risk, change and contracts to ensure their interfaces with the schedule are understood and reflected.
