About The Position

Sargent Electric is hiring a Construction Scheduler for its Mission Critical business unit. This full-time role supports large-scale electrical construction projects by developing, maintaining, and managing detailed schedules from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover. The work location may be a project site or Mission Critical office, with local travel to project sites. The scheduler develops and maintains Primavera P6 schedules, coordinates field-based progress updates, integrates electrical construction scope with procurement and prefabrication activities, analyzes critical-path performance and risk, and reports schedule status to project stakeholders. The role also supports near-term planning, coordination with the general contractor and other trades, commissioning and turnover planning, safety practices, and consistent scheduling standards and best practices.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Business Administration, or a related discipline; candidates with at least two years of relevant construction scheduling experience may receive equivalent consideration in lieu of a degree.
At least two years of construction scheduling, project controls, or construction management experience supporting electrical, mission critical, data center, industrial, or other complex construction projects.
Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain detailed construction schedules using Primavera P6.
Ability to translate complex schedule information into clear, actionable information for project stakeholders.
Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, computer, multitasking, and time-management skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with construction management applications such as BuildingConnected, Vista, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, Procore, ProjectSite, Primavera P6, and related applications.
Strong understanding of electrical construction sequencing in a multi-trade environment.
Experience scheduling large-scale electrical construction, data center, mission critical, industrial, or similarly complex projects.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain logic-driven project schedules from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover.
Maintain Primavera P6 schedules, including baselines, updates, activity logic, durations, milestones, constraints, critical path, and physical percent complete.
Coordinate with project managers, superintendents, general foremen, and field teams to ensure schedule updates reflect actual conditions, installed progress, productivity, materials, access, and constraints.
Integrate electrical construction activities, including underground work, grounding, raceway, cable tray, equipment setting, busway, cable installation, terminations, controls, testing, energization, commissioning, and turnover.
Incorporate engineering releases, submittals, approvals, procurement, fabrication, long-lead deliveries, BIM coordination, clash detection, detailing, and material release activities into schedules.
Identify critical and near-critical activities, sequencing conflicts, constraints, and emerging risks, and support mitigation and recovery plans.
Prepare critical-path analysis, baseline-versus-actual reporting, milestone tracking, variance analysis, look-aheads, and recovery schedules.
Translate the overall schedule into executable near-term plans aligned with manpower, materials, equipment, access, predecessor work, and field priorities.
Reconcile the electrical construction schedule with the general contractor master schedule and other trade schedules.
Integrate testing, energization, startup support, commissioning, punch list, documentation, and phased turnover milestones into project plans.
Communicate schedule status, risks, priorities, and required actions, and help establish Mission Critical scheduling standards and best practices.
