What You Will Do

• Lead weekly USACE progress meetings and translate decisions into assigned actions, schedule updates, and controlled correspondence.
• Review RICHARD progress, critical-path procurement, change exposure, quality, safety, and cash forecasts before certifying ERP management reports.
• Require approved methods of procedure and restoration plans before outages or energized cutovers affecting plant operations.
• Drive system-based commissioning readiness, training, punchlist closure, and final acceptance with the EPC and OEM teams.
