Construction Project Scheduler 3 – Airports & Infrastructure

Connico • Cincinnati, OH

6d • $90,000 - $110,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Connico is hiring a Scheduler 3 to develop and analyze construction schedules for large-scale infrastructure projects, primarily airports, as well as energy and other infrastructure work. The role involves taking increasing ownership of scheduling work, understanding construction means and methods, identifying sequencing and logic issues, and explaining schedule impacts to project teams and clients. Candidates may bring experience as a professional scheduler or from a field-based construction role involving planning, sequencing, phasing, and management of construction work.

The Scheduler 3 builds and evaluates work breakdown structures, schedule logic, durations, milestones, constraints, assumptions, and baselines. The role analyzes progress, variances, critical path, float, phasing, production rates, and schedule risks across planning, design, preconstruction, construction, testing, commissioning, and closeout. It also reviews project drawings and specifications, participates in site visits and client meetings, prepares schedule outputs and reports, and communicates findings to internal and external stakeholders. The position supports junior analysts and contributes to templates, training materials, sequencing checklists, and quality reviews.

The position is hybrid, with in-office work Tuesday through Thursday at either the Hebron, Kentucky/Cincinnati-area office or the Mt. Juliet, Tennessee/Nashville-area office. Some travel is required, estimated at 10–25%. Starting salary is $90,000+, with bonus opportunities.

Requirements

• 2–4+ years of progressive construction experience that includes meaningful responsibility for construction scheduling, planning, sequencing, phasing, or schedule development.
• Bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, quantity surveying, architecture, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent working knowledge.
• Demonstrated experience developing, managing, or materially contributing to construction schedules; experience limited to entering progress into schedules created by others is not sufficient.
• Meaningful exposure to active construction projects and a working understanding of construction means and methods, trade interfaces, phasing, logistics, procurement, and field execution.
• Experience developing WBS structures, schedule logic, activity durations, baselines, progress updates, variance analyses, phasing plans, or similar scheduling deliverables.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings and specifications with limited oversight.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Willingness and ability to travel 10–25% for site visits, client meetings, and conferences.

Nice To Haves

• Professional experience using Primavera P6.
• Substantial construction scheduling and planning experience using another platform, with demonstrated ability to become proficient in P6.
• Experience creating initial, baseline, preconstruction, pursuit, or phasing schedules.
• Experience performing or contributing to Time Impact Analysis, schedule recovery, or cost and schedule risk assessments.
• Certification such as PMI-SP, PSP, PMP, AACE CCT, CCM, PE, or equivalent.
• Experience with Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC), Power BI, and Adobe Acrobat.
• Experience in aviation.
• Experience in commercial nuclear power generation, green and renewable power generation, power distribution, or power transmission including high voltage.
• Experience in heavy civil and infrastructure.
• Experience in data centers and data infrastructure.
• Experience in government and military scheduling.
• Experience in utilities, transportation, roadway, bridge, or water/wastewater construction.

Responsibilities

• Build detailed construction schedules using project scope, design documents, client requirements, construction methodology, site conditions, and project milestones.
• Create and manipulate work breakdown structures to meet internal, project, and client-specific needs.
• Develop activity durations, sequencing logic, relationships, milestones, constraints, and schedule assumptions.
• Assign baselines, analyze progress and variances, and identify changes to the critical path and float.
• Develop production rates using project quantities, historical information, available resources, and construction knowledge.
• Support schedules across planning, design, preconstruction, construction, testing, commissioning, and closeout.
• Contribute to resource- and cost-loading, schedule risk analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and risk matrices alongside senior team members.
• Review architectural, engineering, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings and specifications for sequencing needs, scheduling impacts, and conflicts.
• Identify constructability, logistics, procurement, phasing, trade coordination, and design issues that could affect the schedule.
• Flag schedule gaps, inconsistencies, unrealistic durations, logic issues, and phasing challenges, and propose potential solutions.
• Develop schedule assumptions, milestone summaries, sequencing notes, and value engineering ideas for client-facing deliverables.
• Participate in site visits to validate assumptions and compare schedule information with actual field conditions.
• Prepare visual schedule outputs and QA reports using P6 exports, Excel, Power BI, and Connico formatting standards.
• Communicate schedule assumptions, progress, risks, and changes to internal and external stakeholders.
• Participate in schedule development, review, update, and reconciliation meetings.
• Work with designers, contractors, field personnel, estimators, and other disciplines to develop realistic project schedules.
• Support Analyst 1s and 2s by reviewing their scheduling methods, logic, activity lists, and outputs.
• Contribute to internal templates, training materials, sequencing checklists, and quality reviews.

Benefits

• Bonus opportunities.
• Opportunity to work on complex, high-visibility projects.
• Opportunity to grow from schedule execution into greater technical ownership and client responsibility.
• Collaborative, respectful culture focused on technical excellence.
• Clearly defined career path and development support.
