Project Scheduler chez U.S. Engineering

• Build and maintain an integrated Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule covering design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover.
• Develop logically linked activities with resource and/or cost loading, and apply consistent coding for alignment with cost-control systems.
• Collect field progress data, update project status on a weekly or monthly basis, and generate look-ahead schedules, variance reports, and earned-value forecasts.
• Run critical path and “what-if” analyses to evaluate sequencing options, recovery plans, and alternative delivery scenarios.
• Perform schedule-risk assessments, identify key drivers, quantify exposure (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations), recommend contingencies, and monitor mitigation actions.
• Support change order negotiations and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses (TIAs) that tie schedule delays to costs and contractual entitlements.
• Integrate third-party interfaces such as permitting, utility relocations, long-lead procurement items, and external dependencies to ensure a complete and realistic plan.
• Generate clear and concise schedule deliverables including narrative reports, Gantt charts, S-curves, and KPI dashboards tailored for project managers, field teams, and executives.
• Enforce schedule governance standards, maintain data integrity in scheduling tools, and mentor junior schedulers to raise overall planning maturity.
• Participate in planning and progress meetings, providing schedule expertise and recommendations to project leadership.
• Continuously improve scheduling processes, tools, and best practices within the mechanical construction function.
• Ability to coordinate and manage schedules across several projects simultaneously.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on scheduling experience in construction, with heavy-civil infrastructure and/or mechanical construction project experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with full CPM baseline schedule development, resource or cost loading, and progress updating.
• Proven ability to interpret design drawings, specifications, BIM models, and work-breakdown structures and translate them into logically sequenced activities.
• Experience conducting critical path and variance analyses, preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar tools.

• Proficiency with industry-standard project and construction management software (e.g., Primavera P6, TILOS, MS Project, Bluebeam, RSMeans).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to interpret and communicate complex scheduling data.
• Excellent organizational and time management abilities with high attention to detail.
• Effective communicator with strong influencing and collaboration skills across field and office teams.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop less-experienced schedulers.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to cross-functional project teams.
