Job description

Location: Danvers, MA

Industry: Civil Construction / Infrastructure

Overview

We’re seeking a Lead Scheduler who knows how to build and manage construction schedules from the ground up.

• Develop, maintain, and manage detailed construction schedules across a range of civil, utility, and infrastructure projects.
• Create and refine schedule narratives that clearly communicate project logic, progress, and risks.

• Analyze project data to forecast impacts, identify opportunities for recovery, and recommend solutions.
• Lead scheduling strategy meetings and advise leadership on schedule performance, trends, and best practices.
• Support preconstruction and bid efforts by developing baseline schedules and resource-loaded timelines.

Qualifications

• A confident, hands-on scheduler who knows construction — not just software.
• Experienced in Primavera P6 or similar scheduling tools, with strong analytical and communication skills.
• Capable of translating complex project timelines into actionable insights.
• Driven, proactive, and able to take ownership from day one.
• Comfortable in the field and office alike, with a deep understanding of heavy civil, utility, or infrastructure construction.
