Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, or related field, OR equivalent demonstrated construction scheduling or project controls experience.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in project scheduling, preferably in the electrical infrastructure construction industry.
• Proficiency in Primavera P6, including the ability to independently build, baseline, update, analyze, and report an assigned project schedule.
• Working knowledge of critical path methodology (CPM), including predecessor and successor logic, constraint use, total float, and critical path identification.
• Experience establishing and maintaining schedule baselines and performing progress, variance, and float analysis.

• Build activity logic in Primavera P6, establishing predecessor and successor relationships and applying only those constraints required to reflect genuine project restrictions.
• Establish the schedule baseline with the project manager, documenting the scope, logic, and constraints the baseline reflects.
• Independently develop and maintain assigned project schedules; major baseline revisions, logic changes affecting contractual milestones, recovery plans, and time impact analyses (TIAs) are subject to Project Controls review and approval.
• Develop and maintain the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in accordance with project controls and estimating standards.
• Resource-load schedules with direct labor and equipment to support crew planning and manpower forecasting.

• Monitor project progress against the schedule, identify deviations, and propose corrective actions to keep the project on track.
• Collaborate with project managers to ensure schedule updates are accurate and reflect the current project status.
• Perform total float and critical path analysis each update cycle, flagging activities with negative float or eroding float to the project manager.
