• Lead upstream planning activities for major operational campaigns, systemic capital improvements, and specialized fleet-wide projects
• Develop detailed scopes of work, constructability reviews, engineering coordination, and project execution plans before field mobilization
• Build and maintain critical-path project schedules using tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, or Smartsheet
• Deliver complete execution packages—including schedules, material plans, and safety requirements—to Site and Campus Managers for field execution
• Serve as the operational lead for complex OEM warranty campaigns across the operating fleet
• Coordinate technical documentation required to support warranty claims and commercial recovery efforts alongside the Asset Management team
• Review OEM repair methodologies, schedules, and execution plans to ensure they meet Intersect's technical and safety standards

• Collect and organize as-built documentation, quality records, and project closeout packages following campaign completion
• Partner with CMMS Administration to ensure equipment updates, warranty records, and asset changes are accurately documented within Sitetracker
• Maintain accurate project controls, schedules, documentation, and reporting throughout the project lifecycle
• Build strong partnerships across Operations, Engineering, Asset Management, Planning, and external contractors
• Support consistent execution standards across multiple technologies and operating sites
• Identify planning risks early and develop mitigation strategies that improve project execution and operational outcomes
