About The Position

Serve as the Project Scheduler responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing integrated project schedules for complex engineered-to-order (ETO), systems, and EPC projects. Supporting projects from order handoff through closeout, you will work closely with Project Managers, engineering teams, manufacturing facilities, vendors, subcontractors, and customers to establish schedule baselines, monitor progress, identify schedule risks, and support successful project execution. This role plays a key part in project forecasting and delivery by providing schedule visibility, critical path analysis, risk identification, and recovery planning across the full project lifecycle. The Project Scheduler serves as a trusted partner to project teams, helping drive informed decisions through accurate planning, reporting, and schedule performance analysis. When project workload permits, the Project Scheduler will also support proposal development, schedule standardization initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts across the Project Management organization. While the start date has not yet been determined, we're interested in speaking with project scheduling professionals who may be exploring future opportunities due to project completion, contract expiration, relocation, or long-term career planning. Preferred location: Atlanta-Metro, GA, with a strong preference for candidates within commuting distance of our Duluth, GA headquarters.
