• Managed the Specialist Instrumentation Contract from pre-award (site wide) for instrument calibration and loop testing single-handed from a planning and reporting perspective.

• My greatest contribution was developing the structure of the P6 Project Schedule’s Enterprise Project Structure, WBS, Calendars and Activity Code dictionaries used for all major Contracts. This enabled the integration of most Contractor Contract Programs for combined 6 week lookahead schedules providing pivotal information for conflict resolution and critical path analysis.
