Scheduler – Federal Group
About The Position
The Scheduler supports the Federal Group by developing and maintaining comprehensive preconstruction schedules from concept through final bid. The role integrates design milestones, permitting, procurement, and construction activities into master schedules, and collaborates with estimators, project managers, and upper management to validate sequencing and durations.
