The Project Controller will work across Projects, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Maintenance, and contractor teams to develop and maintain Level 1 and Level 2 schedules using Microsoft Project. The role supports projects throughout planning, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout.

• Develop, maintain, and update Level 1 and Level 2 schedules for capital projects and facility modifications using Microsoft Project.
• Establish milestones and logically sequence engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout activities.
• Define and maintain activity durations, dependencies, constraints, critical milestones, and schedule baselines.
• Integrate contractor and discipline schedules into overall project schedules.
• Monitor schedule performance, critical and near-critical activities, forecast dates, constraints, and deviations from approved plans.
• Evaluate schedule impacts resulting from scope changes, design changes, field conditions, and other project developments.
• Develop recovery scenarios and identify opportunities to mitigate schedule delays.

• Prepare schedule reports, milestone reports, look-ahead schedules, progress updates, and schedule variance information.
• Validate project progress and remaining durations with engineering, construction, and contractor teams.
• Identify schedule trends, execution risks, delays, and potential recovery opportunities.
• Provide schedule updates, constraints, upcoming activities, and areas of concern during project status meetings.
• Maintain accurate schedule and project controls documentation through project closeout.

• Support Management of Change (MOC) activities by incorporating approved changes and evaluating schedule impacts.
• Incorporate operational constraints, outages, tie-ins, site access requirements, construction sequencing, and commissioning activities into schedules.
• Track MOC-related milestones and deliverables.
• Coordinate schedule interfaces across Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Operations, Maintenance, commissioning, and contractors.
• Support planning and scheduling of brownfield work within an operating industrial facility.

• Review contractor schedules for alignment with project milestones, objectives, and execution requirements.
• Coordinate with project teams and contractors to obtain accurate schedule updates.
• Review and challenge schedule assumptions, durations, logic, sequencing, and forecast dates as appropriate.
• Participate in project planning, scheduling, progress, and coordination meetings.
• Promote consistent scheduling practices and reliable reporting across assigned projects.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Project Management, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• Approximately 10 years of project controls, project scheduling, or related capital project experience.
• Strong experience developing and maintaining Level 1 and Level 2 project schedules.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Project for schedule development, maintenance, analysis, forecasting, and reporting.
• Solid understanding of scheduling fundamentals, including dependencies, milestones, critical path, constraints, baselines, progress measurement, and forecasting.
• Experience developing integrated schedules covering engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout.
• Experience evaluating schedule trends, risks, delays, changes, and recovery opportunities.
• Experience supporting Management of Change (MOC) processes within an operating industrial environment.
• Experience with LNG, oil and gas, petrochemical, refining, chemical processing, or comparable heavy industrial capital projects strongly preferred.
• Brownfield project and operating-facility experience preferred.
• Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to clearly communicate schedule status and risks to project teams,…
