• Incorporate outside schedule drivers, including community meetings, partner agency concurrent work, and funding source requirements, into project and program schedules.
• Prepare and evaluate time impact analyses and delay claims, and recommend entitlement and time extensions supported by schedule evidence.
• Perform resource loading and cost loading, and support earned value reporting.
• Produce schedule narratives, look-ahead schedules, milestone reports, and executive-level summaries, and present schedule status to management.
• Coordinate with project managers, design consultants, contractors, and partner agencies to identify schedule risks and develop mitigation options.

Attributes

• Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills.

• Adapts quickly to changing priorities across a multi-project portfolio.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, architecture, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Proven ability to develop CPM baseline schedules and maintain them through regular updates.
• Experience building and maintaining an integrated master program schedule across multiple concurrent projects.
• Experience reviewing contractor baseline schedules, monthly updates, and recovery schedules for contract compliance, and incorporating outside drivers such as community commitments, partner agency work, and funding constraints.

• Track record preparing schedule narratives, look-ahead schedules, milestone reports, and executive-level summaries for management audiences.
• Advanced proficiency with Oracle Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture.
• AACE Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP) or PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) certification.
• 15+ years of project scheduling experience on public capital or construction projects.
• Experience supporting disaster recovery or post-disaster rebuild programs.
