• Supports the Milestone Alignment Planning (MAP) process —facilitatingsessions with owners, design teams, and trade partners to commit to and document key milestone conditions.

• Facilitates structured schedule handoffs to Program or JV schedule leads — documenting WBS structure, LBS conventions, milestone commitments, and DPR scope responsibilities.

• Maintains coordination with JV schedule leads during execution — aligning DPR's update cycle, constraint log, and production reporting with the JV master schedule.

• Establishes and enforces consistent scheduling standards, WBS and LBS structures, activity codes, andupdateworkflows across all active Crusoe campuses.

• Performs Change Order and Time Impact Analyses (TIA) as schedule conditions evolve.

• Provides technical guidance and coaching to campus-level planners and schedulers on P6 workflows, scheduling standards, and SMP requirements.
