Onsite Construction Scheduler – Master CPM & Lookahead

SpaceXAI; Southaven (MS); On-site; USD 75,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceXAI is seeking a skilled construction scheduler to develop, maintain, and communicate CPM schedules for field teams, subs, and leadership. You will build baselines, update progress, flag risk early, and explain impacts of changes.

This is hands-on work requiring means-and-methods knowledge to challenge infeasible sequences. The role requires coordinating with project managers, superintendents, estimators, procurement, design and owners to ensure schedules reflect committed dates, plus

Qualifications

• 4+ years of construction scheduling on active projects (GC, CM, owner’s project controls, or specialty contractor).
• 4+ years of experience using Oracle Primavera P6 and comfortability with multiple calendars, relationship types, filters, layouts, global vs. project data, and schedule quality checks.
• 4+years of experience with owner/CM specification-driven schedules (e.g., DCMA 14-point, USACE, or similar quality metrics).

Responsibilities

• Build baseline CPM schedules from drawings, specs, estimates, bid packages, and construction sequences (WBS, activity coding, logic, calendars, and constraints used sparingly and correctly).
• Maintain the live schedule: collect progress from superintendents, project managers, and trades; update percent complete, remaining duration, and logic; publish a clean current-period update on a set cadence.
• Own the critical path. Identify near-critical work, float erosion, and out-of-sequence progress. Tell the team why the end date moved, not just that it did.
• Produce three-week (or similar) look-aheads that match the master schedule and what the field can actually crew.
• Analyze schedule impact of RFIs, change orders, design late-outs, access constraints, long-lead procurement, weather, and labor shortages. Prepare TIAs and what-if, recovery, and acceleration scenarios.
• Coordinate with project managers, superintendents, estimators, procurement, design, owners/CMs, and subcontractors so the schedule reflects committed dates, not wishful ones.
• Resource-load and, where required, cost-load the schedule. Flag crew stacking, craft shortages, and unrealistic production rates.
• Prepare narratives, variance reports, S-curves, histograms, and executive summaries for internal reviews and owner/CM submittals.
• Support claims and delay documentation with contemporaneous records (as-planned vs. as-built, fragnets, delay categorization) when needed.
• Enforce schedule standards: naming, coding, update process, backup, and version control so the file remains auditable.
• Facilitate or support pull-planning / Last Planner sessions and convert those commitments into logic in the CPM model.
• Visit the site regularly. A scheduler who never walks the job will be wrong.
