The Role

The Scheduler develops and maintains the project schedules that drive our construction operations, translating project plans into realistic, resource-loaded timelines that project teams can execute against. Working under the VP of Operations Support, this position partners closely with project managers, superintendents, estimators, and trade partners to build baseline schedules, track progress, and flag risks before they affect delivery dates. The Scheduler is a central point of coordination across departments and is expected to exercise independent judgment in analyzing schedule impacts and recommending recovery strategies, while significant changes to contract milestones are elevated to operations leadership.

The role is primarily office-based with regular use of scheduling software and project management systems and includes jobsite visits (approximately 1–2 per week, more frequent during critical project phases) to verify progress and coordinate with field staff. This position has no direct reports.

What you will accomplish

• Develop, maintain, and update baseline and working CPM schedules across multiple concurrent projects.
• Partner with project managers and superintendents to sequence work, define durations, and identify the critical path.
• Track actual progress against plan, issue regular schedule updates, and report variances to project teams and leadership.
• Perform what-if and impact analyses to evaluate delays, change orders, and proposed recovery plans.
• Coordinate schedule input from subcontractors and trade partners and integrate their commitments into the master schedule.
• Prepare schedule narratives, look-ahead schedules, and progress reporting for owners and internal stakeholders.
• Support preconstruction by building preliminary schedules for bids, proposals, and interviews.
• Maintain schedule templates, standards, and historical duration data to improve accuracy on future projects.

What we would like you to have

• 3-5+ years of experience building and maintaining CPM schedules in a construction environment.
• Degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent field experience.
• Proficiency in Primavera P6 required; working knowledge of Microsoft Project preferred.
• Strong understanding of construction means, methods, and typical trade sequencing.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present schedule information to field staff, executives, and owners.
