    • Support Earned Value Management (EVM) reporting and performance measurement.
    • Coordinate with DFMC leadership, BIA/BIE regional offices, engineers, contracting officers, and financial analysts to integrate schedule and cost data.
  • Technical Review & Advisory Support
    • Review contractor-submitted schedules and cost proposals for accuracy, realism, and regulatory compliance.
    • Provide expert technical guidance to project managers and senior leadership on schedule and cost matters.
    • Assist in developing best practices, tools, and procedures for scheduling and estimating.
