Construction Scheduler

Construction Scheduler

The Construction Scheduler will develop, maintain, and optimize project schedules to ensure timely delivery of construction projects. Reporting to the Project Controls Manager or Project Director, the Scheduler works closely with project managers, field teams, subcontractors, procurement, and stakeholders to create realistic, resource-aware, and risk-informed schedules, track progress, forecast impacts of changes, and support recovery planning. This role supports projects across civil, mechanical, and electrical scopes and contributes to project controls, claims mitigation, and continuous improvement of scheduling practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and update detailed project schedules using Critical Path Method (CPM) techniques for single and multidiscipline construction projects, including electrical scopes.
• Create and baseline project schedules and produce schedule updates, lookahead schedules (21-2 week), and recovery plans to mitigate delays.
• Coordinate schedule inputs and sequencing with project managers, subcontractors, procurement, and site supervision to ensure alignment with construction means and methods.
• Perform resource and cost-loaded scheduling, including leveling and analysis of manpower, equipment, and material constraints.
• Monitor progress and quantify schedule variances; prepare regular schedule performance reports, dashboards, and presentations for project leadership and owners.
• Analyze impacts of change orders, design revisions, and delays; prepare time impact analyses, delay narratives, and support claims or dispute resolution as required.
• Integrate schedule data with project management and field reporting tools (e.g., Procore, Site Progress, BIM/4D) and maintain accurate baselines for comparison.
• Facilitate schedule review meetings, construction coordination sessions, and subcontractor milestone alignment workshops.
• Maintain schedule standards, templates, and procedures; mentor junior schedulers and support training initiatives to raise scheduling maturity.
• Support procurement and logistics planning to ensure long-lead items and material deliveries align with the project schedule.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of construction scheduling experience on industrial, commercial, or infrastructure projects; demonstrated experience including electrical scopes preferred.
• Proven proficiency with Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project; strong Excel skills and familiarity with schedule integration into project controls systems (e.g., Procore, Aconex, or similar).
• Hands-on knowledge of CPM scheduling techniques, time impact analysis, resource/cost loading, and schedule risk assessment.
• Experience working on electrical projects or experience as an Electrical Project Manager is strongly preferred; familiarity with electrical installation sequencing, commissioning, and testing activities a plus.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to present complex schedule information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities under tight deadlines.
• Certifications such as PMISP, AACE PSP, or Primavera scheduling certification are a plus.
• Willingness to travel to project sites as required and work collaboratively with field teams and subcontractors.
