Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract:

Permanent, full time

Reporting to:
Director of Project Controls

The Master Scheduler is accountable for developing, maintaining, and defending a credible, fully integrated master schedule for the Fusion Direct Program from the perspective of Type One Energy as the project owner. This role is not administrative; it is a technical and analytical role responsible for ensuring the program schedule is logically sound, sufficiently detailed, resource–informed, and suitable for customer commitments.

Crucially, this role will act as the scheduling authority over our EPC/EPCM contractor, AECOM. The Master Scheduler must be able to build schedules based on program understanding, challenge incomplete or optimistic inputs from contractors, and perform detailed schedule analysis to expose risks, critical path drivers, and integration gaps across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning.

• Manage the AECOM construction EPC/EPCM schedule, ensuring its logic and milestones seamlessly integrate into the overarching Type One Energy master schedule.
• Serve as the single point of accountability for schedule integration across internal teams and external contractors (e.g., EPC, design partners).
• Act as the owner's primary scheduling representative to hold AECOM and other tier-1 contractors accountable for baseline compliance and float management.

• Develop and maintain the Fusion Direct Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), integrating multiple project and subsystem schedules into a single, coherent program baseline.
• Establish and set the overarching schedule reporting processes and progress measurement rules (Rules of Credit) for both internal teams and external EPCMs.
• Ensure all schedule logic is explicit, defensible, and traceable, with clearly defined dependencies, milestones, and handoffs.
• Drive schedule maturity by enforcing sufficient task‑level detail.

• Ensure schedules reflect realistic durations, proper sequencing, and credible assumptions.
• Require and validate clearly defined scope per activity, measurable completion criteria, logical predecessors and successors, and alignment to engineering, procurement, and construction realities.
• Actively identify and correct schedule anti‑patterns (open ends, excessive constraints, artificial float, logic loops).

• Perform regular critical path, near‑critical path, and float analysis across the program.
• Conduct what‑if and scenario analysis to assess impacts of design changes, long‑lead procurement, vendor performance, and resource constraints.
• Partner with PMs and Engineering Directors to develop schedule‑based mitigation plans for high‑risk or slipping scope.

• Align the master schedule with program cost, earned value, and risk management processes in coordination with Programs and Finance.
• Establish the framework and actively manage future Earned Value Management (EVM) tracking, including running Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Cost Performance Index (CPI) metrics to monitor contractor health.
• Support executive reviews, PMRs, and board materials with clear, defensible schedule narratives and tier‑appropriate views (Tier 1 / Tier
  2), translating complex P6 data into high‑level executive reports.
• Maintain consistency between the integrated…
