About The Position

AtkinsRéalis is seeking a Senior Scheduler to support large-scale, complex industrial manufacturing projects in Austin, Texas. Korean-language proficiency is an essential function of the role. The Senior Scheduler leads strategic planning, integrated scheduling, and schedule-performance monitoring throughout the project life cycle, establishing realistic, logic-driven, resource-aware schedules that align design, procurement, permitting, construction, commissioning, qualification, start-up, handover, and close-out activities. The role provides planning support, schedule governance, progress measurement, critical-path analysis, risk modelling, and recovery planning to client stakeholders, AtkinsRéalis project leadership, and project teams. It ensures program- and project-level planning processes are consistent and transparent, and support executive reporting, contractor coordination, and timely decisions. The position coordinates with design, procurement, construction, cost control, project controls, contractors, and client teams to improve schedule reliability and identify and mitigate risks early. The Senior Scheduler manages integrated master schedules in a multi-user Primavera P6 environment, validates progress data and contractor updates, and prepares schedule reports, dashboards, look-ahead plans, milestone summaries, and recovery plans. The role supports earned-value measurement, productivity and procurement tracking, cost/schedule integration, change control, and forecast analysis. It also facilitates schedule reviews with Korean client stakeholders and other project participants, communicates schedule status and risks, and maintains baseline control, progress validation, schedule updates, and audit-ready records. The position supports complex technical facilities across project delivery phases and requires accurate reporting, timely decision-making, and cross-cultural coordination in fast-paced, multidisciplinary project environments. Compensation is expected to be $120,000–$140,000, depending on skills, experience, and geographical location. Benefits may vary depending on employment status.
