  • Track actual progress against the baseline schedule and identify schedule variances, delays, and potential impacts to key project milestones.
  • Analyze critical and near-critical path activities and identify potential schedule risks before they impact the project.
  • Review contractor schedules and schedule updates to ensure alignment with project requirements and overall project objectives.
  • Participate in project meetings, schedule reviews, and coordination meetings with owners, contractors, engineers, and project leadership.
  • Develop look-ahead schedules and help project teams understand upcoming activities, constraints, and critical milestones.
  • Assist with developing recovery schedules and mitigation plans when projects fall behind schedule.
  • Prepare schedule reports, updates, narratives, and other project controls information for project leadership and clients.
  • Work with field teams to validate progress and understand how construction activities, procurement, engineering, permitting, weather, and other factors may affect the schedule.
  • Support change management by evaluating the potential schedule impacts of scope changes, delays, and other project events.
  • Maintain accurate and organized project documentation and scheduling information.
  • Travel to project sites as needed to support project teams and validate schedule progress.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of experience in project scheduling, project controls, construction scheduling, or a related field.
  • Experience supporting renewable energy, power generation, utility, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure projects.
  • Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6 and Microsoft Projects.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
