• Track and manage long-lead items and procurement timelines to ensure alignment with construction start dates.
• Review and validate schedules provided by consultants and contractors to ensure consistency with program objectives.

• Prepare and present schedule updates and reports to internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Collaborate with project managers and cost planners to ensure schedule alignment with budget and resource planning.
• Assist in the development of standardized scheduling tools, templates, and reporting dashboards for EV programs.
• Participate in design coordination meetings to ensure evolving technical requirements are reflected in the schedule.
• Support early execution planning including mobilization, site access, and utility upgrades.
• SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in scheduling or preconstruction planning for large-scale infrastructure, industrial, or utility projects.
• Strong understanding of preconstruction workflows including due diligence, design development, permitting, and early execution.
• Experience with infrastructure and utility coordination, preferably in EV, energy, or transportation sectors.
• Proficiency in scheduling software such as Primavera P6, MS Project, or equivalent tools.
• Ability to interpret design documents, permitting requirements, and construction plans to inform schedule development.
• Experience working with AHJs, utility providers, and municipal agencies to track and manage permitting timelines.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify schedule risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly.
