Pittsburgh, PA; Glen Burnie, MD; Virginia Beach, VA

S&B USA Construction, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA with multiple east coast regional offices, is a leading infrastructure solutions company specializing in the development and construction of complex infrastructure projects, particularly through Alternative Delivery Partnerships (P3 and Design-Build). Our portfolio includes mega projects such as the Fargo-Moorhead Stormwater Diversion Channel (North Dakota) and the PennDOT Major Bridge P3 Program (Pennsylvania).

Project Scheduler Position Summary:

The Project Scheduler is an experienced member of the Scheduling & Controls team responsible for developing, analyzing, and maintaining Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules for heavy civil infrastructure projects, including bridges, highways, rail, and transit. Working with general supervision from a Senior Scheduler or Scheduling Manager, the Project Scheduler independently builds bid and baseline schedules in Oracle Primavera P6, leads schedule updates and reporting, and advises the project team on schedule-related risk, contract, and claims matters.

This position is the next step on the department's scheduling career path beyond Scheduler I, with broader ownership of assigned project schedules and a mentoring role for entry-level team members.

This role will focus on our Mid-Atlantic Region (Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Virginia). Location TBD.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Bid Schedule Development (Small to Large Projects)

  • Review contract documents, plans, and specifications to independently identify schedule-related requirements and constraints, including milestones, phasing, work-hour and seasonal restrictions, permits, utility and right-of-way dates, and liquidated damages.
  • Lead development of KMZ (Google Earth) site models and work-zone graphics to support means-and-methods and phasing strategy.
  • Develop detailed CPM bid schedules in Oracle Primavera P6 — WBS, activity coding, calendars, logic, and durations — with minimal oversight.
  • Validate estimating quantity-to-duration calculations and production-rate assumptions.
  • Prepare and present summary schedules, schedule exhibits, and proposal/pursuit materials for project leadership and clients.

Baseline Schedule Development:

  • Lead project kickoff and schedule development meetings.
  • Collaborate directly with the project manager, project engineers, and superintendents to translate the execution plan into a resource-realistic P6 baseline schedule.
  • Perform and document schedule quality checks before submittal (logic, open ends, constraints, lags, negative float, and DCMA-style metrics).
  • Prepare the baseline schedule narrative and submittal package and lead responses to owner review comments.

Schedule Updates, Look-Aheads, and Monthly Reporting:

  • Review project progress and schedule updates from project teams to proactively anticipate schedule impacts and advise the project team accordingly.
  • Lead preparation and review of two- to four-week look-ahead schedules.
  • Prepare and present monthly schedule update submittals — schedule comparisons, change logs, critical path and float review, and update narrative — to project teams, executive reviews, and owners.
  • Monitor progress and timetables across assigned projects to identify variance against schedule deadlines.
  • Maintain schedule files, XER/XML backups, and version history in accordance with department file-naming and document-control standards.

Risk, Change and Claims Support:

  • Identify potential schedule risks and lead risk assessments and mitigation planning in coordination with the Project Manager.
  • Prepare time impact analyses and recovery schedules, including fragnet development and comparison exhibits.
  • Track key dates for delay events, RFIs, and change orders to support change management and claims documentation.
  • Participate in and advise on schedule-related contract negotiations.

Professional Development:

  • Mentor and support the professional development of Scheduler I and other entry-level team members.
  • Apply and help refine department scheduling policies, procedures, and work instructions.
  • Take ownership of assigned project schedules and support determination of staffing needs, materials, and supply timing in coordination with the Project Manager.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent heavy civil field experience.
  • 3 – 5 years of heavy civil construction experience in scheduling and/or project management, with demonstrated experience developing and maintaining CPM schedules for projects such as bridges, highways, rail, or transit.
  • Demonstrated ability to track and maintain complete and accurate project data.

  • Strong working knowledge of Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling.
  • Proficiency in interpreting blueprints, specifications, and contracts.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present schedule information clearly to project teams, executives, and owners.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
