Construction Project Scheduler (Civil Engineering)

Job Description Job Description Growing civil engineering and project delivery firm specializing in major infrastructure projects - bridges, highways, and complex public works is seeking a Sr Project Scheduler with P6 experience and proficiency .

Our team combines practical field knowledge with advanced modeling techniques to build better, faster, and smarter. As technology reshapes civil infrastructure - from artificial intelligence and automation to materials tracking and predictive scheduling - we aim to stay ahead.
If you are a forward-thinking professional ready to grow with us, adapt to change, and help develop smarter ways to plan, manage, and deliver critical infrastructure, we would like to speak with you.

What We Offer
• $92,000 - $115,000 base salary (depending on infrastructure experience)
• 401(k) with company match, generous PTO & holidays, health insurance stipend.
• Real influence on multi-million-dollar infrastructure decisions and outcomes.
• Raleigh-based position focused on collaboration and team engagement, with some project-related travel.
• A collaborative, forward-thinking company culture that values initiative, ownership, and long-term growth, including evolving with new technologies such as AI-driven tools.

Position Overview:
building schedules and managing construction timelines. Here, youll grow into creating more accurate, complex project schedules, detailed cost models, and practical solutions that actually solve problems. Whether its a weather delay, supply chain snag, or sudden design change, youll be first to analyze, adjust, and keep everything aligned. Youll work across project modeling, scheduling, and project controls—bridging design intent, field execution, and commercial outcomes. Were seeking a proactive independent thinker who take initiative without waiting for direction asking sharp questions, dig into data, test "what-if" scenarios, and cut through uncertainty to drive real clarity.

Requirements:
• B.S. in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field (M.S. a plus).
• 2-4 years in engineering, engineering planning, field supervision or project coordination on infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with scheduling concepts.
Our focus: Transform your engineering and construction management expertise into advanced scheduling mastery. Well provide P6 training & scheduling certification, AI tools training, and mentorship to elevate you into strategic project controls.

Key Responsibilities:
• Rapidly master Primavera P6 and advanced scheduling.
• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules using Primavera P6 or other scheduling tools, and manage the critical-path logic to support on-time delivery.
• Integrate and interpret real-time data from field, cost, design, and agency sources to refine timelines, forecasts, and "what-if" scenarios that support data-driven decisions.
• Monitor performance against baselines, flag variances early, and align schedule, cost, and risk.
• Support earned value and progress tracking, translate schedule updates and risks into clear, actionable recommendations, and help evaluate emerging tools—such as AI-assisted scheduling and predictive modeling—to improve project-controls practices.

What Were Looking For
• Practical field experience in construction, civil design, and/or project coordination on infrastructure projects (P6/Bluebeam proficiency a plus; EXCEL proficiency, training provided for engineering backgrounds).
• Strong understanding of construction workflows, sequencing, and how design changes impact time, cost, and risk, with detail focus to catch issues early.
• Demonstrated ability to solve problems independently, adapt quickly when project conditions change, and collaborate effectively with contractors, field teams, designers, and stakeholders.
• Curiosity and willingness to work with AI, automation, and predictive analytics to improve project planning, scheduling, and project controls. Core Traits We Value
• Self-Starter & Detail-Focused: Takes initiative, stays ahead of the work, and pays close attention to data, assumptions, and sequence of work so small issues are caught early.
• Adaptive & Resilient Thinker: Excels in fast-changing environments, adapts quickly when conditions shift, and approaches complex situations with persistence and creativity.
• Analytical Innovator & Communicator: Uses data, modeling, and technology— including AI and automation—as tools to improve productivity and decision-making, and clearly explain schedule impacts and next steps to field teams, managers, and clients.
• Professional & Responsive.
