Scheduler with TAKT experience

Versys Electrical•Raleigh, NC

About The Position

VERSYS (Verified Systems) is a privately-owned thriving company that provides low and medium voltage services for industrial commissioning, start up, maintenance, construction, and panel fabrication in Canada and the US. We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Scheduler to join our Oil and Gas project team. In this role, you will be the "architect of flow," leveraging Takt planning and scheduling methodologies to synchronize material delivery, labor allocation, and equipment usage. You will drive efficiency across complex infrastructure projects, turnarounds, or modular facility builds, ensuring continuous workflow and zero-waste operations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil/Mechanical Engineering, Project Management, or a related field.
Minimum of [5-10] years of experience in project scheduling within the Oil and Gas, petrochemical, or heavy industrial sectors.
Proven hands-on experience applying Takt time planning and Lean construction principles to complex industrial projects or turnarounds.
Advanced user of scheduling software (Primavera P6 is required).
Deep understanding of oil and gas construction sequences, modular fabrication, piping/structural installations, and mechanical completions.
Strong analytical capabilities and a continuous-improvement mindset focused on waste reduction and workflow optimization.
Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills; capable of aligning field crews, management, and subcontractors to a unified rhythm.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Takt planning software (e.g., LeanKit, LeanStation, or similar) is highly preferred.
PMP (Project Management Professional), PMI-SP (Scheduling Professional), or Lean/Six Sigma certifications are a strong plus.

Responsibilities

Lead the development and implementation of Takt time and Takt flow methodologies across engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) phases.
Build, maintain, and optimize integrated project master schedules using advanced scheduling software (Primavera P6, MS Project, or Takt specific tools like LeanStation).
Break down large scopes of work into manageable Takt zones and sequences to eliminate workflow bottlenecks and reduce non-value-added activities.
Align workforce, equipment, and material deliveries with defined Takt times to ensure a steady, predictable pace of production.
Work closely with engineering leads, procurement teams, construction superintendents, and subcontractors to ensure Takt targets are understood and achieved.
Monitor schedule health, track physical progress against Takt targets, and calculate Earned Value (EV). Identify deviations and implement corrective mitigation strategies.
Develop detailed 2-week and 4-week look-ahead schedules in alignment with the master Takt plan to ensure the readiness of prerequisites.
Evaluate the impact of scope changes and requests for information (RFIs) on the Takt plan, adjusting sequences seamlessly while minimizing project delays.
