About The Position

As a Senior Project Scheduler, you will develop, maintain, and analyze schedules for large-scale capital projects in the energy construction sector throughout the United States. You will partner with Project Management, Operations, Estimating, Project Controls, Procurement, and client teams to monitor performance, identify risks, and support timely decision-making. This is a remote opportunity for candidates with the right skillset. The role focuses on developing and maintaining detailed Primavera P6 critical path method schedules for utility capital projects, coordinating project phases and stakeholder schedules, analyzing progress and schedule risks, and supporting recovery planning and contractual time-impact analysis. You will lead schedule reviews and provide executive-level schedule narratives and integrated project controls reporting. Work is generally performed in an indoor office environment, with mobility required in office, warehouse, and construction-site environments. The role may require flexibility to work different schedules and stay late with little or no notice. Candidates must be able to read documents, use a computer, and communicate verbally and in writing, and must occasionally be able to lift up to 20 pounds. Pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion drug screens, valid U.S. work authorization documents for E-Verify, and satisfactory pre-employment background check results are required.

Requirements

At least 5 years of project scheduling or project controls experience in capital construction, or at least 2 years of scheduling experience within utility construction.
Advanced proficiency in Oracle Primavera P6 for developing, updating, and maintaining detailed CPM schedules and verifying schedule logic.
Demonstrated expertise in baseline development, critical path analysis, schedule forecasting, variance tracking, and recovery planning.
Strong technical understanding of construction sequencing, field operations, and integration of engineering, procurement, and execution phases.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and project controls reporting tools to analyze productivity trends, resource loading, and schedule data.
Must provide valid U.S. work authorization documents for E-Verify and obtain satisfactory pre-employment background check results.
Must pass pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion drug screens.
Must be able to read documents, use a computer, and communicate verbally and in writing.
Mobility is required within office, warehouse, and construction-site environments; must occasionally lift up to 20 pounds.

Responsibilities

Develop, manage, and maintain detailed Primavera P6 CPM schedules for utility capital projects, incorporating engineering, long-lead procurement, right-of-way constraints, permitting, and utility outage or clearance windows.
Partner with project teams to establish activity durations, crew plans, and construction sequencing, and update schedules using actual progress, productivity trends, and changing field conditions.
Perform critical- and near-critical-path analyses to identify schedule risks, constraints, and bottlenecks before they affect key milestones.
Evaluate schedule forecasts against baselines, prepare variance reports, and drive recovery and mitigation plans when performance deviates from the plan.
Integrate subcontractor, vendor, and client schedules into the master execution plan across civil, electrical, heavy civil, testing, and commissioning phases.
Evaluate scope modifications, weather disruptions, and regulatory delays for commercial and contractual requirements; prepare time-impact analyses and maintain defensible historical records.
Lead regular schedule review meetings and deliver executive-level schedule narratives, look-aheads, and integrated project controls reporting combining schedule, cost, and productivity data.
Perform other tasks as requested by leadership.
