  • Track physical progress, earned value, and productivity (including s-curves), updating schedules to reflect site conditions and identifying potential slippages early.
  • Identify and analyze variances between planned and actual work, proposing mitigation or recovery actions.
  • Review technical drawings and synoptics to identify construction interfaces, access constraints, and sequencing risks.
  • Support the preparation of schedule-related claims, including time impact and delay analyses, in line with contract provisions.
  • Prepare schedule reports and S-curves for project management and client reviews, maintaining a schedule constraint log and delay register.
  • Provide clear and timely schedule updates to project management and client representatives, highlighting progress, risks, and recovery plans.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong experience in hydropower, energy, infrastructure, or industrial project execution.
  • Experience in schedule recovery, change management, and delay analysis.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and understand interdependencies among disciplines (mechanical, electrical, piping, etc.).
  • Strong leadership, collaboration, and communication skills.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Legal authorization to work in the United States.
  • Ability and willingness to work on-site at a single hydropower project location in Washington State (100% of the time).

Preferred Qualifications
