- Lead schedule integration for refueling, forced, and maintenance outages across pre-outage, execution, and post-outage phases
- Partner with station organizations to develop outage strategy, scope integration, system windows, work sequencing, and implementation plans
- Ensure outage schedules reflect plant risk, Technical Specification constraints, Maintenance Rule requirements, shutdown safety expectations, ALARA considerations, and available resources
- Review and challenge activity durations, logic ties, critical path assumptions, and resource estimates to maintain schedule credibility and execution readiness
- Establish and maintain outage restraint lists, schedule assumptions, and readiness trackers with material, engineering, procedure, and vendor interfaces
- Lead integrated schedule review meetings, readiness reviews, and cross-functional alignment meetings; communicate schedule risks and critical decisions to station leadership
- Support outage risk assessments and PRA-informed shutdown risk management activities, evaluating emergent work impacts
- Provide execution support during outages by updating schedules, resolving conflicts, controlling emergent scope, and maintaining alignment with approved plans
- Validate work execution strategies, manpower loading profiles, shift strategies, and resource curves
- Drive continuous improvement through outage critiques, self-assessments, corrective action reviews, and lessons learned
