• Assist in preparing catch-up schedules for delayed activities.

3. Coordination & Interfaces

• Coordinate between EPC contractors, design consultants, and procurement teams to ensure sequencing logic is maintained.
• Support interface planning for civil-HM-EM linkages (e.g., embedment items, EOT crane, transformer deck readiness).
• Liaise with central planning teams and incorporate owner milestones and third- party clearances (EC, FC, ROW).

4. Change Management & Risk

• Track schedule impacts due to scope changes, design revisions, weather events, or contractor issues.
