- Validated the scope against the master scope document and input labor and equipment resources into CPM schedule application
- Integrated key outage milestones into the CPM schedule
- Communicated and reported to the outage leadership team indicating the critical path and near critical path work activities, as well as variance from key outage milestones
- Facility Management Team resolved delay and poor variance performance
- Prioritized work for critical limited resources, particularly overhead cranes
- Prepared daily executive reports and overall outage report
