Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking Planners / Schedulers to support upcoming Midstream Oil & Gas initiatives. This intake covers a variety of midstream assets, including major pipeline linear construction, compressor/pumping station expansions, asset integrity programs, and terminal/storage facility maintenance.

In this role, you will be the core driver of the integrated project schedule—managing complex logic, tracking multi-disciplinary progress, and proactively managing the critical path from regulatory permitting through commissioning.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrated Master Schedule Management: Develop and maintain Level 1 through Level 4/5 logic-linked schedules in Primavera P6, incorporating Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition, environmental permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
• Linear & Facility Scheduling: Balance the unique scheduling demands of linear pipeline construction (ditching, stringing, welding, laying) alongside stationary facility builds (compressor stations, meter stations, tank farms).
• Progress Measurement & EVM: Monitor physical field progress against the baseline schedule. Develop and analyze S-curves, track quantities (e.g., footage of pipe welded/laid, tons of structural steel), and apply Earned Value Management (EVM) principles.
• Resource and Constraint Analysis: Identify and resolve schedule constraints, resource density bottlenecks, and material delivery slippages. Perform regular Critical Path Method (CPM) and float analysis to keep projects on track.
• Outage & Interconnect Planning: Collaborate with operations and engineering to plan tightly scheduled tie-ins, system hot taps, and facility shutdowns/outages to minimize throughput disruptions.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Interface regularly with Project Managers, Chief Inspectors, Environmental teams, Supply Chain, and EPC contractors to run schedule review meetings and deliver clear progress reports.

Position Requirements & Qualifications

• Industry Experience: 3+ years of dedicated planning/scheduling experience specifically within Midstream Oil & Gas (pipelines, terminals, gas processing, compressor/pumping stations).
• Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency with Primavera P6 is required. Experience with linear scheduling tools like TILOS is a strong asset.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of midstream construction sequencing, hydrostatic testing procedures, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) timelines, and commissioning phases.
