This is a site-based position suited to a scheduler with practical construction experience who can actively develop, manage, and analyze detailed project schedules. The successful candidate will work closely with the client, general contractor, trade partners, and project management team to provide accurate schedule reporting and identify potential impacts before they affect project delivery.

Candidate must be willing to be onsite Mon- Fri.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and update detailed construction schedules using Primavera P6.
• Build schedules from the ground up , including the work breakdown structure, activity logic, durations, calendars, constraints, and key milestones.
• Integrate design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and turnover activities into the master schedule.
• Collect progress information from contractors, trade partners, and project stakeholders.
• Review contractor schedule updates for accuracy, realistic logic, and compliance with project requirements.
• Conduct critical-path, near-critical-path, float, and schedule-variance analyses.
• Identify delays, sequencing conflicts, procurement risks, and potential impacts to project milestones.
• Support recovery planning, resequencing, and schedule-mitigation efforts.
• Facilitate or participate in weekly schedule and progress meetings.
• Prepare weekly and monthly schedule reports, progress narratives, milestone trackers, dashboards, and look-ahead schedules.

Candidate Requirements

• Ability to evaluate schedule logic, critical paths, float, constraints, and progress accuracy.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work directly with clients, contractors, consultants, and trade partners.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, live-project environment.
• Able to work onsite five days per week.

• Familiarity with data center commissioning and turnover activities.
• Experience working for a construction consultancy, general contractor, owner, or program management firm.
