Job Overview: The Senior Project Scheduler is a key member of the Construction Project Management team, responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing project schedules across the full project lifecycle.

Works independently while collaborating closely with project leadership and stakeholders, influencing project planning and execution decisions through schedule analysis, forecasting, and recommendations.

• Proven experience supporting projects through the full project lifecycle—planning, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, closeout, and post‑project follow‑up activities.
• Demonstrated experience with oil‑and‑gas construction projects.
• Experience developing, maintaining, and integrating project schedules into program‑level or master schedules across multiple projects.
• Experience working within regulated project environments, incorporating regulatory requirements, approvals, and milestones into schedules.
• Strong understanding of Critical Path Methodology (CPM), schedule forecasting, earned value management, resource planning, schedule risk analysis, and project controls principles.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder‑management skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across project teams, contractors, consultants, regulators, and other stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver accurate results in a fast‑paced, dynamic project environment.
• Experience with Eco Sys project controls software.
• Offshore project experience.
