Summary

Working under the direct supervision of the Transmission Construction Manager, the Project Planning Coordinator is responsible for developing and maintaining project construction schedules, developing and revising Construction Sequence Documents, coordinating construction efforts in the field among various entities, updating construction status information, and communicating as needed on overall project status with multiple parties.

The assigned projects are in various stages of activity and are occurring simultaneously in most instances. The Transmission Construction Coordinator is therefore required to prioritize their work consistent with the goals and schedules of the Transmission Construction Manager and Oncor as a whole.

The Project Planning Coordinator is expected to work from the office as well as the field, as required, to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the role.

The environment and working conditions can be physically and mentally demanding. This position requires frequent on-site visits regardless of weather conditions.

Issues arise that may require immediate attention, some of which can be resolved remotely, while others require an unscheduled on-site visit.

This position can be mentally challenging due to the number of projects assigned as well as changing project conditions which require a "re-shuffling" of project schedules on very short notice.

The Transmission Construction Coordinator is expected, with appropriate experience and time in the job, to act as backup to the Transmission Construction Manager during their absence.
