S&B USA Construction, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA with multiple east coast regional offices, is a leading infrastructure solutions company specializing in the development and construction of complex infrastructure projects, particularly through Alternative Delivery Partnerships (P3 and Design-Build). Our portfolio includes mega projects such as the Fargo-Moorhead Stormwater Diversion Channel (North Dakota) and the PennDOT Major Bridge P3 Program (Pennsylvania).

Project Scheduler Position Summary:

The Project Scheduler is an experienced member of the Scheduling & Controls team responsible for developing, analyzing, and maintaining Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules for heavy civil infrastructure projects, including bridges, highways, rail, and transit. Working with general supervision from a Senior Scheduler or Scheduling Manager, the Project Scheduler independently builds bid and baseline schedules in Oracle Primavera P6, leads schedule updates and reporting, and advises the project team on schedule-related risk, contract, and claims matters.

This position is the next step on the department's scheduling career path beyond Scheduler I, with broader ownership of assigned project schedules and a mentoring role for entry-level team members.

This role will focus on our Mid-Atlantic Region (Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Virginia). Location TBD.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Bid Schedule Development (Small to Large Projects)

• Review contract documents, plans, and specifications to independently identify schedule-related requirements and constraints, including milestones, phasing, work-hour and seasonal restrictions, permits, utility and right-of-way dates, and liquidated damages.
• Lead development of KMZ (Google Earth) site models and work-zone graphics to support means-and-methods and phasing strategy.
• Develop detailed CPM bid schedules in Oracle Primavera P6 — WBS, activity coding, calendars, logic, and durations — with minimal oversight.

Baseline Schedule Development:

• Lead project kickoff and schedule development meetings.
• Collaborate directly with the project manager, project engineers, and superintendents to translate the execution plan into a resource-realistic P6 baseline schedule.
• Perform and document schedule quality checks before submittal (logic, open ends, constraints, lags, negative float, and DCMA-style metrics).
• Prepare the baseline schedule narrative and submittal package and lead responses to owner review comments.

Schedule Updates, Look-Aheads, and Monthly Reporting:

• Review project progress and schedule updates from project teams to proactively anticipate schedule impacts and advise the project team accordingly.
• Lead preparation and review of two- to four-week look-ahead schedules.
• Prepare and present monthly schedule update submittals — schedule comparisons, change logs, critical path and float review, and update narrative — to project teams, executive reviews, and owners.
• Monitor progress and timetables across assigned projects to identify variance against schedule deadlines.
• Maintain schedule files, XER/XML backups, and version history in accordance with department file-naming and document-control standards.

Risk, Change and Claims Support:

• Identify potential schedule risks and lead risk assessments and mitigation planning in coordination with the Project Manager.
• Prepare time impact analyses and recovery schedules, including fragnet development and comparison exhibits.
• Track key dates for delay events, RFIs, and change orders to support change management and claims documentation.
• Participate in and advise on schedule-related contract negotiations.

Professional Development:

• Mentor and support the professional development of Scheduler I and other entry-level team members.
• Apply and help refine department scheduling policies, procedures, and work instructions.
• Take ownership of assigned project schedules and support determination of staffing needs, materials, and supply timing in coordination with the Project Manager.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent heavy civil field experience.
• 3 – 5 years of heavy civil construction experience in scheduling and/or project management, with demonstrated experience developing and maintaining CPM schedules for projects such as bridges, highways, rail, or transit.
