Project Scheduler

Job Scope The Project Scheduler is responsible for developing, maintaining, analyzing, and communicating integrated project schedules that support safe, predictable, and value-focused project delivery. This role applies AACE planning and scheduling principles and IPA-style front-end loading and stage-gate practices to build schedule logic, validate scope maturity, support decision quality, and improve schedule performance across the project lifecycle. Responsibilities Develop and maintain integrated project schedules from early planning through execution, commissioning, and closeout using Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project. Build logically sound CPM schedules with appropriate work breakdown structures, activity coding, calendars, milestones, constraints discipline, and resource/cost loading where required. Support IPA-aligned front-end loading (FEL) and stage-gate reviews by developing phase schedules, evaluating schedule maturity, and confirming alignment between scope definition, execution strategy, risks, and key decision dates. Establish schedule baselines, basis of schedule documentation, progress measurement methods, update cycles, and governance procedures in alignment with project controls requirements and AACE recommended practices. Perform critical path, float, variance, what-if, and time impact analyses to identify schedule threats and opportunities and recommend mitigation or recovery actions. Coordinate schedule inputs with engineering, procurement, construction, contractors, vendors, and operations to produce realistic sequencing and milestone commitments. Prepare schedule narratives, dashboards, milestone reports, look-aheads, and management presentations that clearly communicate status, forecast completion dates, risks, and required actions. Review schedule quality and integrity, including logic, constraints, progress accuracy, and reasonableness of durations, in support of management decision-making. Support change management by assessing the schedule impact of scope changes, delays, and emergent work, and maintaining proper baseline and revision control utilizing schedule change logs. Promote standardization, continuous improvement, and lessons learned in scheduling methods, templates, and reporting practices.
