  • Analyze schedule trends and performance data to deliver accurate forecasts and timely reporting to all stakeholders.
  • Lead the scheduling team to derive realistic, achievable plans that support successful turnaround completion within authorized timeframes.
  • Ensure all schedule data and forecasts are accurately presented in regular status reports.
