Scheduler, Construction

Responsible for developing, maintaining, analyzing, and reporting the integrated project schedule using Oracle Primavera P6. The Scheduler provides an independent Owner view of EPC Contractor schedule performance and supports the organization's projects team with timely, field-verified schedule information. This is a site-based role requiring regular field presence to validate actual progress, confirm sequence and logic, identify constraints, and assess schedule realism against current construction conditions.

The Scheduler takes direction from and supports the Project Manager and Construction Manager while coordinating closely with project controls, startup/commissioning, engineering, contractors, and plant operations. The Scheduler is expected to work primarily in Primavera P6;
Microsoft Project or other scheduling platforms are not part of the role. The Scheduler supports overall project success while maintaining safety awareness during all site and field activities.

• Review and update the Owner schedule in Primavera P6 using field-verified progress and approved project information.
• Maintain a routine site and field presence to observe construction status, validate actual starts and finishes, assess remaining duration, and confirm work sequencing.
• Compare field conditions and contractor-reported progress to the current P6 schedule; identify discrepancies and document required corrections or follow-up.
• Monitor critical and near-critical paths, key milestones, constraints, interfaces, work calendars, and schedule logic.
• Coordinate with the Construction Manager, discipline coordinators, startup/commissioning, engineering, and contractor scheduling personnel to obtain accurate schedule status.
• Identify emerging delays, out-of-sequence work, access limitations, material or engineering constraints, and other barriers to milestone achievement.
• Maintain schedule notes, assumptions, progress narratives, and supporting documentation sufficient to explain schedule status and changes.
• Participate in daily project coordination meetings and communicate schedule impacts requiring project-team attention.
• Review the EPC Contractor’s Primavera P6 schedule update for completeness, logic integrity, progress accuracy, and compliance with contractual scheduling requirements.
• Validate contractor-reported actual progress through field observations and coordination with project representatives.
• Analyze critical path, near-critical activities, total and free float, milestone trends, schedule variance, and changes to forecast dates.
• Assess schedule achievability, including sequencing, work density, resource assumptions, outage interfaces, commissioning dependencies, and adequacy of contingency or recovery plans.
• Evaluate proposed schedule revisions, fragnet insertions, recovery schedules, and change-related time impacts; clearly identify unsupported logic or assumptions.
• Prepare concise weekly schedule reports and look-ahead summaries for the Project Manager and Construction Manager.
• Report barriers to success, required decisions, and recommended mitigation or recovery actions.
• Maintain the Owner’s schedule records and controlled P6 files in the designated project document repository.

• Attend Project POD meetings (0800) and provide updates on schedule conditions affecting overall project execution.
• Attend Contractor Project POD meetings and address schedule coordination, sequencing, constraints, and required follow-up.
• Debrief with the Construction Manager and Project Manager on significant schedule changes or field conditions.
• Update Primavera P6 status, schedule notes, and action items based on verified information.
• Coordinate directly with field personnel to confirm progress and upcoming work.
• Facilitate a schedule review with the Construction Manager and Project Manager.
• Participate in the EPC Contractor’s weekly schedule update or progress review.
• Prepare and issue a weekly schedule report identifying critical path, milestone forecast, key variances, constraints, recovery actions, and required decisions.
• Provide P6-based look-ahead information to support construction, outage, startup,…
