• Work with production supervisors and managers to establish success metrics and ensure all metrics-driven action requirements are completed
• Provide daily visibility, weekly status, and monthly reviews on schedule performance
• Support project engineering team as needed with limited project preparations, shop/field coordination, and more
• Create, document, and enforce planning standards and document templates
