• Prepare project progress reports, dashboards and schedule/cost variance analysis for management and stakeholders; generate weekly and monthly project performance KPI reports; maintain standard project reporting templates and planning tools; support project steering committee and governance reporting requirements.
• Maintain project document control registers and ensure accurate record-keeping of project deliverables and drawings; support contract administration activities including variation tracking, correspondence registers and approvals documentation; ensure project documentation complies with company standards; coordinate document review and approval workflows.
• Coordinate planning inputs across Project Engineering, Processing Operations, Maintenance and Operations Readiness teams; liaise with contractors, engineering consultants and equipment vendors on schedule integration; support project close-out activities including schedule and cost reconciliation and lessons-learned documentation; promote Zero Harm principles, participate in JSA development and risk assessments, and develop effective working relationships with Project Engineering, Processing Operations, Maintenance, Contractors and the HSE Department.
