Scheduler, Business

Haydan Consultants, Inc. is looking to hire a talented Scheduler to support our partners on the Propel Transmission Infrastructure Program.

Our client maintains the Primavera P6 Integrated Master Schedule for the Propel program and produces monthly schedule reports, XER file submissions, and schedule narratives. These deliverables go directly to the Project Director and Construction Director — often preceded by informal verbal updates from client leadership. There is currently no independent owner's review of client's schedule products. This consultant serves as the owner's independent schedule analyst, embedded alongside the Director of Project Controls and the Propel team.

The role has two priorities:

Independent review and verification of client's schedule deliverables, and hands‑on schedule analysis support to the Propel team — including what‑if scenarios, schedule recovery planning, and acceleration/crashing analysis.

Develop schedule reporting tools and templates that operate from XER file uploads outside of P6, enabling the core Project Controls team to independently produce executive schedule summaries, milestone dashboards, and other schedule reports after the consultant engagement concludes.

This is the consultant's primary, day‑to‑day function. It is not a deliverable‑based engagement — it is an ongoing analytical role supporting the Director of Project Controls and the Propel team.

• Review the XER file for data integrity: logic errors, open‑ended activities, missing predecessors/successors, out‑of‑sequence progress, unreasonable durations, negative float, and constraint usage
• Verify that the critical path is valid and has not been artificially manipulated through constraints, lags, or calendar adjustments
• Perform float analysis by package: identify which activities are consuming float and at what rate, flag activities where float has dropped below agreed thresholds
• Compare the current schedule against the previous submission: what changed, what slipped, what improved, and whether changes are explained in client's narrative
• Assess whether client's schedule narrative accurately reflects what the P6 data actually shows — flag instances where the narrative is more optimistic than the data supports
• Produce a concise schedule review memo for the Director of Project Controls summarizing findings, discrepancies, and questions that should be raised with the client

On an as‑needed basis, directed by the Director of Project Controls:

• Model what‑if scenarios in P6 to test contractor recovery claims (e.g., “Contractor X says they will recover a 3‑week slip — is that feasible given the logic and resources?”)
• Analyze schedule acceleration and crashing options: what activities can be accelerated, at what cost, and what is the impact on the critical path and downstream packages
• Assess the impact of delays on cross‑package interfaces (e.g., if submarine cable installation slips, what is the compound effect on substation commissioning?)
• Quantify schedule risk scenarios to support the Director of Project Controls’ risk management responsibilities — provide schedule impact inputs for the quantified risk exposure model
• Document each scenario with assumptions, methodology, results, and recommended action

• Develop schedule recovery options with the Propel team and contractor: re‑sequencing, acceleration, additional resources, scope phasing
• Model each recovery option in P6 with cost and duration trade‑offs
• Present recovery analysis to the Director of Project Controls for discussion with the Project Director, Construction Director, or contractor as appropriate
• Monitor recovery plan execution against the recovery schedule in subsequent months

• Attend package progress meetings as the schedule analysis resource alongside the Director of Project Controls
• Provide schedule‑based input to monthly risk reviews (milestone risks, float erosion trends, interface risks)
• Support the…
