Role & Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the Project Controls Plan (PCP), including WBS/CBS alignment, progress rules, reporting cadence and change control interfaces.
• Build and maintain an integrated, logic-driven baseline schedule (quarry, loadout, installation), including critical path and float management.
• Set up and manage progress measurement, including quantity tracking, earned value and vessel productivity monitoring.
• Establish cost control processes: budgets, commitments, accruals, forecasts, and variance analysis across engineering, procurement, marine operations and subcontractors.

• Experience integrating multi-discipline schedules (engineering, procurement, fabrication, marine operations) and managing schedule updates and baselines.
• Strong communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional teams, comfortable presenting to project leadership and clients.
• Understanding of offshore execution constraints/delays (weather downtime, marine logistics, permits, vessel utilization) and their impact on schedule/cost.
• Experience with reporting automation and Omega 360.
