Lead Schedule Integrator

Quanta Power Generation

5445 DTC Parkway Suite 1200 Greenwood Village, CO 80111

 

                  I was tasked with creating a scheduling department program within the Project Controls group of Quanta Power Generation. The purpose was to develop engineering and construction schedules for renewable electrical power generation dealing with photovoltaic solar, combined cycle gas generation, bio waste and geo thermal projects. Projects range in size from 2.5 mw to 200 mw utilizing various technologies and equipment arrangements.

   Schedules were developed encompassing engineering, procurement and construction disciplines. I developed multiple schedules at the same time for proposals and ongoing projects and then worked them concurrently. Schedules were resource loaded, logic driven and earned value measurement (EVM) based. Software used for scheduling included Primavera P6, 7 & 8, and Microsoft Project 2010. Schedule narratives and documentation were provided for proposal schedules and monthly reporting for both internal reports and external client monthly reports. Interfacing with all internal disciplines I provided an accurate representation of each disciplines workflow and status for their portion of the schedule.

                   I was lead site scheduler on the Comanche Unit 3 project from 02/2006 to 03/2009 located in Pueblo Colorado where I developed, tracked and had overall responsibility for the balance of plant schedule, which included assembly of the steam turbine and generator, all mechanical equipment and systems outside of the boiler and air quality control structures, all site civil work, all site electrical and distributed control systems work and piping systems either in their entirety or to termination point provided by other site contractors. This was a fully resource loaded schedule based on earned value method development in Primavera software, starting in version 3.1 and then migrating to Primavera version 5, 6 and 7. The scheduling effort encompassed multiple groups including engineering, procurement, contracting, construction and startup / commissioning and included other contractors and the client with schedules being developed, integrated and tracked in a master schedule

      All schedules were created in Primavera software utilizing earned value methods and performance analysis. I contributed to the generation of monthly reporting documentation by providing schedules, schedule analysis and validation for both internal Shaw reports and external client reports.  I developed proposal schedules for future work for both domestic and international clients. I developed and provided detailed steam turbine, generator construction schedules that were incorporated and utilized worldwide by Shaw.

The full proposal and construction schedules were logic driven, EVM based, resource loaded based off of an estimate provided from Timberline estimating software.

     I provided support and plan leadership including analytical oversight to other projects at Shaw as required. I participated in mediation and litigation efforts for the company on various projects providing forensic schedule analysis and detailed schedule reviews.
