Project Controls Lead Planner​/Scheduler

Position Summary

This role takes full ownership of the project schedule across multiple phases, from early FEL planning and pre‑FEED through field execution and system turnover. This role will own the schedule, develop the execution plan, and drive alignment across engineering, procurement, fabrication, logistics, and field operations.

The position will be based in Anchorage during the planning and readiness phases, then transition to the North Slope as projects move into construction.

Anchorage – 5 days per week, 10 hours per day.

North Slope – 7 days per week, 11.5 hours per day.

3 weeks on, 3 weeks off.

• Schedule Development & Ownership
  • Own and drive the project schedule from concept through turnover.
  • Develop and manage integrated Level 3–5 Primavera P6 schedules across all project phases.
  • Lead WBS and CBS alignment to support estimating, cost tracking, and progress measurement.
  • Develop resource‑loaded schedules and manpower forecasts.
  • Perform critical path analysis, float analysis, and schedule scenario modeling.
  • Build and maintain recovery plans in response to delays, scope changes, or logistics disruptions.
• Early‑Phase Planning
  • Support FEL and pre‑FEED efforts by developing initial schedules and execution strategies.
  • Work with estimating teams to validate durations, sequencing, and productivity assumptions.
  • Establish realistic schedule logic aligned with scope, resources, and project execution strategy.
• Field Execution
  • Maintain and drive the schedule in alignment with field progress and site conditions.
  • Interface with engineering, procurement, fabrication, and field teams to ensure schedule alignment.
  • Support change management by assessing schedule impacts of RFIs and scope changes.
  • Provide detailed reporting including S‑curves, earned value metrics, and schedule KPIs.
  • Lead and defend schedule strategy in client‑facing reviews.
• North Slope & Arctic Logistics
  • Develop schedules that account for modular fabrication workflows – yard integration, transport, and field setting.
  • Plan and sequence work around sealift schedules, including module delivery, bulk material shipments, and critical equipment arrival.
  • Incorporate ice road logistics, including haul windows, load restrictions, and material staging strategies.
  • Build schedules that reflect seasonal constraints, including winter construction windows and limited summer access.
  • Develop contingency plans for logistics‑driven delays due to weather, transport, or material slippage.
• System Turnover & Commissioning
  • Integrate system‑based turnover sequencing into the construction schedule – not area‑based completion.
  • Align schedule milestones with mechanical completion, pre‑commissioning, and commissioning handover.
  • Ensure construction activities are sequenced to support efficient, risk‑managed system turnover.
  • Coordinate handover sequencing with client priorities and operations readiness requirements.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• 10+ years of scheduling experience in industrial construction.
• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6.
• Proven experience planning and executing $100MM+ projects.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, modularization, and field execution workflows.
• Experience integrating system turnover and commissioning into construction schedules.
• Experience planning in remote or Arctic environments strongly preferred.
• Ability to lead planning efforts across multi‑discipline teams.
• Strong communication and coordination skills.

• Take and pass a pre‑employment drug test and background check.
• Take and pass a Fit for Duty Examination.
