Every major project starts with a question no one wants to answer blindly: Should we bid, and at what risk?

Build and own bid-stage schedules — develop fully scoped, resource- and cost-loaded schedules aligned to the Bill of Materials (BOM) / Statement of Work (SOW), with no scope gaps and full compliance with DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) 14-point health criteria.
Drive probabilistic analysis — apply three-point estimating and quantitative risk analysis (including Monte Carlo / QRA methods) to produce a defensible, risk-adjusted cost and schedule position that informs bid/no-bid and pricing decisions.
Maintain bi-directional traceability — link schedule activities to RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) risk references and maintain estimated time impacts throughout the bid phase, ensuring no data is lost at handover.
Lead the ITO-to-execution transition — validate the bid schedule against final contracted scope, support formal baseline approval, and hand over the baselined schedule and associated RAID data to the Project Controller with a clear, structured briefing.
Support change control during execution — re-engage when material schedule variance arises to construct What-If scenarios, quantify critical path impact, float consumption, and Extension of Time (EoT) entitlement without modifying the approved baseline.

You are someone who combines analytical rigour with strong communication skills — equally comfortable interrogating a schedule logic network and presenting risk findings to bid leadership.
Experience working in a bid or ITO (Invitation to Offer) environment within complex systems or capital projects delivery.
Familiarity with change management processes, including What-If scenario modelling and the distinction between rebaselining and re-time-phasing.
