Construction Scheduler

The Construction Scheduler is responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing project schedules across Forge Construction's portfolio of ground-up multifamily and mixed-use developments. This role partners closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and subcontractors to build realistic, resource-loaded schedules; monitor progress against baseline; identify and resolve delays; and provide leadership with clear, data-driven visibility into project timelines and critical path risk. The ideal candidate brings 5-7 years of scheduling experience in ground-up commercial or multifamily construction and is fluent in critical path method (CPM) scheduling. Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain detailed, resource-loaded CPM schedules for multiple concurrent ground-up multifamily and mixed-use projects, from preconstruction through closeout. Collaborate with Project Managers and Superintendents to translate scopes of work, subcontractor logic, and site logistics into accurate schedule sequencing and durations. Update and re-baseline schedules on a regular cadence, tracking actual progress against planned milestones and flagging variances early. Perform critical path and near-critical path analysis to identify schedule risk, and recommend recovery strategies or acceleration options. Prepare and present schedule updates, look-aheads, and milestone reports to internal leadership, ownership, and lender/investor stakeholders as needed. Coordinate with subcontractors during OAC and pull-planning meetings to validate durations, sequencing, and logistics constraints. Integrate procurement, long-lead material, and permitting/inspection timelines into the master schedule. Support change order and delay-claim documentation with fragnet analysis and time-impact evaluations. Maintain a standardized scheduling methodology, templates, and best practices across the Forge project portfolio. Assist Preconstruction with schedule development for proposals, GMP packages, and feasibility studies on pursuits. Train and support Project Managers and Superintendents on schedule updates, look‑ahead planning, and use of scheduling software. 5-7 years of experience building and managing CPM schedules for ground‑up commercial or multifamily construction projects. Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6; working knowledge of Microsoft Project is a plus. Strong understanding of construction means, methods, and sequencing across site work, structure, envelope, and interior finish phases. Demonstrated experience with resource loading, critical path analysis, and schedule risk assessment. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex schedule data into clear updates for field, executive, and ownership audiences. Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience. Preferred Qualifications Experience scheduling multifamily podium or wood-frame construction in the Louisville/Southern Indiana or comparable regional market. Familiarity with Procore and integration between scheduling and project management platforms. Experience supporting fragnet/time‑impact analysis for delay claims or change order documentation. PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) or AACE Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP) certification. Core Competencies Analytical, detail‑oriented mindset Cross‑functional collaboration Clear, confident communication Proactive problem‑solving Deadline and priority management Field-to-office relationship building Physical Requirements Ability to visit active construction jobsites regularly, including navigating uneven terrain, active work zones, and areas requiring PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, high‑visibility vest, steel‑toe boots).
