Overview

The Project Scheduler is an experienced individual contributor responsible for the development, maintenance, analysis, and integrity of the Project Schedule throughout all phases of assigned projects. Working under the direction of the Project Controls Director, the role independently leads scheduling execution on assigned small-to-medium projects or defined scopes within larger, more complex projects and may also assist with the preparation of proposal and bid schedules.

The Project Scheduler develops project schedules from Level 1 milestone schedules through Level 4 detailed working schedules based on the project execution strategy and the integration of relevant information from internal stakeholders, subcontractors, and other project participants. The position serves as the primary scheduling resource for assigned projects, owns the scheduling process, identifies emerging issues, evaluates schedule performance, develops recommendations, and drives follow-through on mitigation, corrective, and recovery actions.

The Project Scheduler is considered the technical expert in planning and scheduling for assigned projects and must understand and communicate the relationships among estimating, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, progress measurement, cost control, forecasting, risk management, change management, energy performance, and reporting. The role is expected to demonstrate ownership, technical expertise, commercial awareness, sound judgment, and the ability to influence project outcomes while consistently applying enterprise Project Controls standards and methodologies.
