Associate Project Specialist

Summary:  The Project Specialist supports the planning, coordination, and execution of initiatives across the Industrial Operations and Product Supply (IOPS) organization.

• Tracks scope, schedule, and budget against the approved baseline and flags variances; does not approve baseline changes.
