  • Establish baseline schedules and track progress against milestones.

  • Analyze schedule impacts, delays, and recovery plans and communicate findings to leadership.

Resource & Workforce Planning

  • Support manpower forecasting and leveling across multiple projects.

  • Identify scheduling conflicts and capacity constraints and recommend solutions.

Cross-Project Integration

  • Develop integrated master schedules to support multi-project and recurring work programs.

  • Align long-lead material deliveries, fabrication timelines, and subcontractor schedules.

Reporting & Communication

  • Prepare and present schedule updates, dashboards, and look-ahead reports to project teams and leadership.

  • Communicate schedule risks, assumptions, and mitigation strategies clearly.

  • Support client schedule reviews and coordination meetings as needed.

Process Improvement & Standards

  • Establish standardized scheduling templates, procedures, and best practices.

  • Implement scheduling tools and systems to improve consistency and accuracy.

  • Train project teams and field leadership on schedule inputs, updates, and accountability.

Risk Management & Change Control

  • Evaluate schedule impacts related to change orders, scope adjustments, and unforeseen conditions.

  • Maintain schedule change logs and ensure approved changes are reflected accurately.

  • Support claims analysis related to delays when required.

QUALIFICATIONS

Education & Experience

  • 3–7+ years of scheduling or project controls experience in skilled trades or construction environments.

  • Experience supporting multi-project portfolios and complex schedules.

  • Strong understanding of construction sequencing, labor productivity, and field operations.

  • Experience with ERP or project management systems.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain logic-driven, resource-loaded project schedules.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.

  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex schedule data for field and leadership audiences.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.

  • Collaborative mindset with a track record of cross-functional partnership.

Preferred Qualifications

  • AACE or PMI scheduling certification (PSP, PMI-SP) preferred.

  • Familiarity with earned value management (EVM) concepts.

  • Experience in mechanical, piping, or industrial construction sectors.

WORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

This position operates primarily in a professional office environment with periodic visits to active project sites.
