Description
About the Position
We’re seeking a Senior Project Scheduler for large, heavy-civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (both rail and bus), and airport projects delivered through both traditional and alternative methods. You’ll craft logic-driven CPM schedules, fold in procurement and third-party dependencies, and convert field data into clear progress updates and forecasts. By surfacing critical-path risks early, shaping recovery strategies, and keeping stakeholders aligned, you’ll help every project advance safely, efficiently, and on time.
This is a full-time, long-term, on-site position in Phoenix, AZ.
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Build and maintain an integrated CPM schedule that could cover design through turnover, with logically linked activities, resource or cost loading, and clear coding for cost-control alignment.
- Collect field progress data, update status weekly or monthly, and produce look-aheads, variance reports, and earned-value forecasts.
- Run critical path and what-if analyses to test sequencing options, recovery plans, and alternative delivery scenarios.
- Integrate third-party interfaces, permitting, utility relocations, and long-lead procurement items, so the plan reflects all external dependencies.
- Generate concise narrative reports, Gantt charts, S-curves, and/or KPI dashboards for project managers, field teams, and executive stakeholders.
- Perform schedule-risk assessments—identify drivers, quantify exposure with tools such as Monte Carlo simulations, recommend contingencies, and track mitigation actions.
- Support change orders and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses that tie delays to cost and contractual entitlement.
- Enforce schedule governance standards, maintain data integrity in scheduling tools, and mentor junior schedulers to raise overall planning maturity.
Attributes
- Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills.
- Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships.
- Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a passion for continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 10+ years of hands-on scheduling experience with large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil highways, roads, bridges, transit (rail or bus), or airport projects.
- Experience with full CPM baseline schedule development, resource or cost loading, progress updating, and variance analysis.
- Experience preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar methods.
- Proven ability to interpret project scope, drawings, and constraints and translate them into logic-driven and sequenced, resource-aware schedules.
- Proficiency with industry standard project and construction management software (e.g., Primavera P6, TILOS, MS Project, Bluebeam, RSMeans, etc.).
- Proficiency in schedule risk analysis using tools such as Primavera Risk, Deltek Acumen Fuse, or @Risk.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree in engineering or construction management.
- Active professional certifications such as PSP (AACE), PMI-SP or PMP (PMI), and/or CCM (CMAA).
- Hands-on experience with large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil airport projects strongly preferred.
