About The Position

Rising Edge Group is an electrical contracting company founded in 2002, specialization in high-voltage electrical solutions that power critical infrastructure across North America. With operations in both Canada and the United States, we partner with clients across the electrical utilities, renewable energy, and industrial sectors to design, build, and maintain the critical infrastructure systems communities and industries rely on. Driven by a clear vision to strengthen the stability, reliability, and advancement of energy infrastructure, we take pride in delivering work that matters. Guided by our STRIDE values - Safety, Teamwork, Responsibility, Integrity, Deliver, and Excellence - we foster a people focused culture of growth, mentorship and collaboration where safety always come first. Reporting to the Project Controls Manager, the Construction Scheduler is responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing project schedules across the full project lifecycle, from preconstruction and bid development through baseline establishment and execution support. This is not a schedule maintenance role. We are seeking someone who can build credible, logic-driven schedules grounded in real construction means and methods, actively support project teams through planning and execution, and contribute to strengthening scheduling standards, templates, and repeatable processes across the organization. The ideal candidate brings advanced Primavera P6 expertise, strong construction acumen, and experience supporting complex, high-value, high-risk EPC projects. This role is well-suited for an individual who wants to go beyond managing individual project schedules and play a meaningful role in evolving and maturing the organization’s scheduling function.

Requirements

Experience building schedules during preconstruction or bid phase
Experience establishing or supporting baseline schedules after project award
Experience maintaining logic driven schedules during project execution
Advanced Primavera P6 experience
Experience supporting complex construction or EPC projects in utilities, industrial, renewables, transmission and distribution, substations, battery storage, or similar infrastructure sectors
Diploma or degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, or a related field
5+ years of scheduling, planning, or project controls experience within construction, infrastructure, utilities, industrial, or EPC environments
Demonstrated experience supporting both preconstruction scheduling and execution phase scheduling
Proficiency in Microsoft Project, Primavera P6 required.
Strong understanding of CPM scheduling principles, logic ties, critical path analysis, schedule risk, and recovery planning

Nice To Haves

Experience developing templates, standards, or repeatable scheduling processes is considered a strong asset
Experience with InEight is considered an asset
Certifications such as PMI-SP, PSP, or equivalent are considered an asset
Experience supporting projects from bid stage through execution
Experience in EPC or design build environments where engineering, procurement, and construction must be integrated into one schedule
Familiarity with high voltage electrical, substations, transmission and distribution, battery storage, renewables, or similar infrastructure work
Ability to build structure, improve templates, and create repeatable scheduling processes, not just maintain schedules
Strong judgment, communication, and the ability to work across estimating, engineering, procurement, project management, and field teams
Interest in helping shape and strengthen the scheduling function over time

Responsibilities

Develop preliminary project schedules for bids, proposals, and preconstruction efforts based on available scope, drawings, client requirements, and execution assumptions
Work closely with estimating, engineering, procurement, project management, and operations teams to translate construction strategy, sequencing, milestones, and constraints into practical schedules
Support the transition from estimate to execution by providing schedule handoff documentation, logic assumptions, and planning support to project teams
Develop and maintain contract, baseline, and execution schedules that align with project scope, contractual milestones, procurement strategy, engineering deliverables, and field execution plans
Maintain and update schedules during execution, particularly for larger, more complex, or higher risk EPC projects where schedule quality and forecasting are critical
Perform schedule analysis to identify critical path impacts, sequencing concerns, float erosion, long lead risks, and potential delays
Work with project teams to evaluate schedule changes, develop mitigation or recovery plans, and incorporate changes in execution strategy into the schedule
Coordinate with procurement, engineering, subcontractors, and field operations to ensure schedule updates reflect actual progress, constraints, and resource planning
Prepare schedule reports, narratives, dashboards, and presentations for internal stakeholders and clients
Support the development and continuous improvement of scheduling templates, standards, and repeatable processes, primarily within Primavera P6
Help bring greater consistency, structure, and discipline to scheduling practices across the organization
