Approach:
Assist the Project Coordinators to consolidate information about the projects and general follow-up guidelines, working closely with the Engineering Dept. to develop and/or adapt management tools to improve planning and control methodology. Training on the job, and interface with third-party contractors to reinforce project management best practices.

Results:
The project portfolio was big and had poor control; the engineering team needed support to developed tools to improve management (procedures, reports, and controls). To create a set of structured controls and procedures, and also to actively interface with the contractor’s planning team in order to establish a strong and effective way to report and keep track of the project’s milestones was my main occupation. The visibility of the projects within the Company improved due the consistency and reliability of the controls and follow-up guidelines created.
