Construction Scheduler (Primavera P6)

MAAS Companies•Los Angeles, CA

5d•Onsite

About The Position

In a construction program of this size, the schedule is the most important tool. If the schedule is wrong, the budget follows. As a Project Scheduler, you are the person who sees through the contractor’s paperwork to find the truth of the project’s progress. You’ll spend your time independently reading architectural and structural drawings to understand the real scope of the work. When a contractor submits a P6 baseline or a monthly update, you’re the one identifying missing logic, slippage, or critical path issues. This isn't just data entry; it’s forensic work. You’ll perform Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to determine if a delay has merit and create Earned Value curves to show the team exactly where they stand. You’ll be out at the construction sites, attending meetings, and checking that what you see on the screen matches what’s actually happening on the ground.

Requirements

6 years of full-time professional construction scheduling experience (ideally for an Owner or a General Contractor).
High proficiency in the latest versions of Primavera P6 and the MS Office Suite.
A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture (or 8 years of experience).
A "detective’s" eye for detail—you can read drawings to determine if work is in or out of scope and identify where a schedule is being manipulated.
The ability to communicate schedule concerns clearly to project teams and upper management.
