Job Description

Job Description

As Senior Regional Construction Scheduler, you report to the Senior Construction Manager of Scheduling and Estimating, help supervise the Project Schedulers, and work with Owner's Authorized Representatives, Senior Project Managers, and site staff on the review of contractor schedules.
