Position Summary

As part of the Construction function and reporting to the Advanced Work Packaging Manager (AWPM), the Synchro 4D Planner is responsible for development and maintenance of the 4D Planning tool for the project. 4D Planning is a powerful method of visualizing the project’s sequence and plan as related to the 3D model provided from our Engineering tools. The ability to provide visual animations of work sequences and scenarios allows our construction personnel to understand the results of a proposed plan as related to installation and conflict resolution across disciplines and areas. The ability to visualize the results of sequencing is valuable in both the development of a plan as well as the demonstration of the plan to various stakeholders via animation. 

Responsibilities

• Loading the project’s 3D model and P6 schedule into the 4D planning tool with updates as required
• Participation in the sequencing of the 90-day lookahead to demonstrate visually the results of the plan for the purpose of identifying potential constraints and successes
• Providing periodic animations and storyboards to project management and customer stakeholders
• Continually influencing the project’s schedule with the end in mind – system turnover and physical completion
• Supporting Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) scoping, planning, and visualization
• Hosting regular 4D model review sessions with field engineering and supervision
• Coordinates across functions, both peer-to-peer and vertically, to develop tangible execution strategies
• Communicates execution plans and strategies to project and site management, other key project stakeholders, and customer personnel where appropriate
• Ability to interface with personnel of varying backgrounds and skill sets
