📋 Description

• Oversee the delivery of a medium-sized project within a broader multi-workstream initiative originating from Mexico.

• Take ownership of milestones, dependencies, critical paths, and float using Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or a similar scheduling tool.

• Ensure schedule accuracy, which includes baseline control, change impact analysis, slip tracking, and recovery options.

• Conduct schedule reviews and provide a consolidated source of truth.

• Offer project-level schedule updates to the Senior Project Manager for incorporation into the master schedule.

• Coordinate with workstream owners in both Mexico and the US, clarifying scope boundaries, handoffs, and acceptance criteria.

• Facilitate stand-ups, workstream synchronization meetings, and planning sessions across different time zones.

• Identify and manage dependencies, constraints, and interface risks across workstreams, including customs, permitting, vendor lead times, and shipping.

• Maintain project-level RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and escalate cross-project challenges.

• Prepare status and steering inputs that cover schedule health, critical paths, necessary decisions, and recommended options.

• Act as the coordination point for sponsors, local vendors, and delivery leads.

• Generate status reports highlighting schedule variances, dependency risks, and upcoming decisions.

• Align workstream communication in both English and Spanish for leadership purposes.

• Professional proficiency in both written and spoken English and Spanish, capable of briefing both delivery teams and executives.

• Legal authorization to work in Mexico.

• Familiarity with Mexican construction permitting and regulatory frameworks.

• Exposure to program-level work involving multiple related projects or transformations with several workstreams.
