Senior Construction Scheduler: Own the Critical Path

x; Memphis, Northern (TN, KY); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceXAI is seeking an experienced Construction Scheduler to develop, maintain, and communicate CPM schedules used by field teams, subcontractors, and leadership. You will build baselines, update progress, flag risks early, and articulate schedule impacts of changes and recoveries.

The role requires hands-on field interaction, strong means-and-methods knowledge, and the ability to challenge schedules that won’t work in the field. Fluency with DCMA/USACE metrics preferred, onsite work required.

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 with calendars, relationships, filters, layouts, and schedule quality checks.
• 4+ years of experience with owner/CM specification‑driven schedules (e.g., DCMA 14-point, USACE).

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 field, update percent complete, remaining duration, and logic; publish weekly look-aheads and monthly updates.
• Own the critical path; identify near-critical work, float erosion, and out-of-sequence progress; explain end-date movements.
• Produce three-week look-aheads that align with the master schedule and field capabilities.
• Analyze schedule impact of RFIs, change orders, design late-outs, access constraints, long-lead procurement, weather, and labor shortages; prepare TIAs and recovery/acceleration plans.
• Coordinate with PMs, superintendents, estimators, procurement, design, owners/CMs, and subcontractors to reflect committed dates.
• Resource-load and cost-load schedules where required; flag crew stacking and unrealistic production rates.
• Prepare narratives, variance reports, S-curves, histograms, and executive summaries for reviews.
• Support delay documentation with contemporaneous records (as-planned vs as-built, fragnets).
• Enforce schedule standards: naming, coding, update process, backup, version control.
• Facilitate pull-planning / Last Planner sessions and convert commitments into CPM logic.
• Visit site regularly to validate field progress.
