About Summit Line Construction

Summit Line Construction is a full-service electrical utility contractor operating across the Western United States. The company delivers transmission line construction, overhead and underground distribution, substation construction and commissioning, and renewable energy infrastructure for investor-owned utilities, cooperatives, and independent power producers. As a Quanta Services company, Summit Line combines the resources and standards of a large enterprise with a field-focused culture built around doing the work right.

Projects range from single-circuit distribution rebuilds to multi-hundred-mile EHV transmission corridors.

Position Summary: High-voltage transmission and distribution projects don't run on optimism — they run on accurate schedules, realistic resource loading, and someone who knows how to hold a baseline when the field throws curveballs. The Senior Scheduler leads planning and scheduling for assigned complex utility construction projects under the direction of the Project Controls Manager, working directly with project management, field operations, and clients to build, maintain, and analyze project schedules from pre-construction through closeout.

This is a hands-on role that demands deep familiarity with how utility work actually gets built, not just how it gets planned on paper.

Key Responsibilities

Schedule Development & Maintenance

• Develop and maintain Level 3 and Level 4 CPM schedules for transmission, distribution, substation, and renewable energy projects using Primavera P6
• Build project schedules from the ground up in pre-construction, incorporating procurement lead times, permitting milestones, right-of-way constraints, crew mobilization windows, and utility owner outage requirements
• Establish and maintain the schedule baseline in coordination with the project manager and owner, documenting all agreed-upon scope, logic, and constraints
• Perform schedule updates on a defined reporting cycle, incorporating actual progress from field reports, daily logs, and foreman input
• Develop look-ahead schedules (2-week, 4-week, and 8-week) to support field superintendents and crew planning

Schedule Analysis & Reporting

• Perform critical path analysis, float consumption monitoring, and schedule variance analysis to identify risks before they become delays
• Prepare monthly schedule narrative reports for internal project controls review and for submission to owners and engineers of record
• Conduct time impact analyses (TIAs) for owner-directed changes, differing site conditions, weather events, and other schedule-affecting occurrences
• Support delay claims and REA preparation by developing fragnet logic and contemporaneous schedule analysis documentation
• Maintain as-built schedule records throughout the project lifecycle to support project closeout and any post-project dispute resolution
• Develop schedule recovery plans when a project falls behind, modeling resequencing, crew additions, and compression options along with their cost and risk implications

Integration with Project Controls

• Integrate schedule data with cost control systems to support earned value management (EVM) reporting, including CPI and SPI trending
• Collaborate with the estimating department during the bid phase to validate schedule assumptions embedded in proposals and unit-price bids
• Support project managers in resource loading and crew allocation modeling, identifying labor, equipment, and material constraints that affect the schedule
• Participate in owner progress meetings, presenting schedule status and responding to schedule-related questions with accuracy and confidence
• Coordinate with procurement to track material delivery dates for major equipment — transformers, poles, conductor, switch gear — and flag procurement-driven float erosion
• Represent Summit Line in schedule negotiations with owners and engineers of record, defending schedule positions, time extension requests, and agreed recovery approaches
