Track and update manpower and resource deployment data against planned resource-loading curves.
Assist in progress measurement and validation for contractor billing/milestone certification.
Maintain document trackers for drawings, approvals, RFIs, and change requests, ensuring linkage with schedule activities.
Support preparation of delay-analysis reports and time-impact assessments where schedule deviations occur.
Coordinate with Procurement to track delivery status of long-lead equipment and materials against the schedule.
Participate in periodic project review meetings, recording action items and following up on schedule-related commitments.
Maintain schedule archives, revision history, and baseline change logs for audit and reporting purposes.
