• Undertake critical path and schedule variance analysis.
• Prepare look-ahead schedules and support short-term planning activities.
• Develop recovery and mitigation schedules where required.
• Provide accurate schedule updates, progress reporting and forecasting to project leadership.
• Support resource planning and identify potential labour, equipment or sequencing constraints.
• Assist with assessment of variations, scope changes and their impact on project schedules.
• Maintain accurate planning records and ensure schedule changes are appropriately documented.
• Provide planning input into project meetings, client reporting and project controls.
• Support continuous improvement of Breight Group's planning and project controls processes.
