Must-haves

  • Primavera P6 Expertise Required
  • This role requires advanced, hands-on Primavera P6 expertise.
  • Candidates must have extensive experience building, owning, and driving integrated EPC schedules — not simply updating schedules created by others.

Position Summary

  • We are seeking a Senior Project Planner / Master Scheduler to serve as a key operational planning leader supporting a portfolio of complex energy and infrastructure programs.
  • Experience supporting nuclear projects is a major advantage.
  • This individual will own schedule integration, resource planning visibility, and workforce forecasting across both active execution projects and legacy programs.
  • The role is best suited for a senior planning professional who understands how engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operations must align to deliver major capital projects successfully.
  • You will work directly with project leadership, functional managers, engineers, and field teams to gather schedule inputs, drive accountability, and ensure planning activities remain accurate, executable, and forward-looking.
  • This is not a passive scheduling role.

The Successful Candidate Is Someone Known For

  • Making the schedule work
  • Bringing structure to complex organizations
  • Building trust across teams
  • Professionally pushing schedules forward when execution begins to drift

Key Responsibilities

  • Scheduling & Project Controls Leadership
  • Serve as Primavera P6 Subject Matter Expert and Master Scheduler.
  • Develop and maintain integrated EPC schedules across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Drive schedule updates and ensure timely, accurate input from project teams.
  • Lead schedule recovery planning when projects deviate from execution targets.
  • Align schedules with organizational resource availability.

Required Qualifications

  • Advanced Primavera P6 expertise (REQUIRED)
  • Minimum 15+ years Sr. Project Controls, Master Scheduling, or Resource Planning experience (more experience the better)
  • Demonstrated experience supporting EPC, Nuclear, or major capital projects
  • Experience serving as:
  • Senior Project Planner
  • Master Scheduler
  • Project Controls Specialist
  • Resource Manager
  • Proven ability to independently own and drive planning activities
  • Experience working within large project organizations
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills

What The Ideal Candidate Looks Like

The ideal candidate is typically a:

  • Senior Project Planner or Master Scheduler from a large EPC or energy organization
  • Professional with 15–20+ years supporting major capital or EPC projects

Common Industry Backgrounds Include

  • Nuclear (huge plus)
  • Power generation
  • LNG
  • Oil & Gas
  • Utilities
  • Offshore EPC
  • Industrial megaprojects
  • Highly regulated project environments

Why Join This Project?

  • Be a part of one of the most advanced nuclear energy developments in the U.S.
  • Play a key role in the safe, innovative application of next-generation reactor designs.
  • Join a collaborative, forward-thinking team driving clean energy transformation.
  • Enjoy competitive compensation and the potential for long-term career growth opportunities.
