Senior Scheduler

Dome Construction•San Francisco, CA

19d

About The Position

Dome Construction is seeking an experienced Senior Scheduler to provide advanced planning and scheduling leadership for its largest, most complex, and highest-risk construction projects. The role develops comprehensive project schedules, identifies material risks and constraints, and translates scheduling information into clear, practical recommendations. The Senior Scheduler works collaboratively with Operations, Project Management, Field Operations, Preconstruction, BIM/VDC, trade partners, and clients to align planning assumptions, procurement, coordination milestones, field execution, and project commitments. As a technical subject-matter expert, the Senior Scheduler supports project predictability, strengthens scheduling practices across the organization, and mentors less-experienced schedulers and project teams. The role has no direct supervisory responsibilities. It includes occasional travel to construction sites, Dome offices, client meetings, planning sessions, training events, and other business-related meetings; travel varies according to project assignments, locations, and business needs.

Requirements

Seven or more years of experience in construction scheduling, project controls, field operations, project management, or a related area.
Demonstrated success developing and managing schedules for large, complex, high-risk, or technically challenging commercial construction projects.
Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6.
Experience with baseline development, schedule updates, critical-path analysis, recovery planning, time-impact analysis, and executive schedule reporting.
Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, contracts, and project requirements.
Confidence and communication skills to lead planning discussions with project teams, trade partners, clients, and senior leaders.
A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Project Management, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant construction scheduling experience.

Experience facilitating pull-planning, phase-planning, milestone-planning, recovery, and executive schedule-review sessions.
Experience mentoring schedulers or building scheduling knowledge within project teams.
Experience with healthcare, life sciences, advanced technology, tenant improvement, ground-up, or other highly phased projects.
Working knowledge of resource or cost loading, crew logic, Takt or location-based planning, schedule risk analysis, and visual or 4D planning tools.

Responsibilities

Lead development of proposal, preconstruction, baseline, master, milestone, and recovery schedules for large, complex, high-risk, or multiphase projects.
Establish schedule architecture, calendars, coding structures, work breakdown structures, logic, milestones, and reporting methods.
Guide planning for design, permitting, procurement, logistics, construction, startup, testing, commissioning, inspections, turnover, and closeout.

Lead mitigation and recovery planning through what-if analysis, resequencing, acceleration options, contingency planning, and time-impact analysis.
Partner with project leadership when schedule conditions may create contractual, financial, client, or reputational exposure.
Oversee schedule updates and validate actual progress, remaining durations, logic changes, milestone dates, and completion forecasts.
Review schedules across multiple projects for technical quality, consistency, contract compliance, and alignment with Dome standards.
Conduct schedule-health reviews and verify alignment between CPM schedules, collaborative planning commitments, procurement and submittal logs, BIM/VDC milestones, and field execution plans.
