Scheduler IV

MAAS Companies • Los Angeles, CA

3h • $166,000 - $182,000 • Onsite

About The Position

LACCD is rebuilding nine college campuses with bond money. Harbor College is one of them. You are the senior scheduler on that program, and you are the person who can say what a delay actually costs and who is responsible for it. You build and coordinate the project schedules. You review what the contractor submits and check it against the contract. You look at every change order and amendment and work out what it does to the budget and the schedule. When a job slips, you run the time impact analysis, you write up what happened, and you sit in the negotiation with the numbers behind you. You also do the cost side: analysis across design and construction, actual spending against budget, and cost loaded schedules that show the District when money will go out the door.

Requirements

• 10 years of project or program scheduling on large construction programs
• Advanced Primavera. Also MS Project, Excel, Word and PowerPoint
• Real experience with time impact analysis
• Real experience with construction claims and change orders

• Willingness to work at more than one site, and the transportation to do it
