• Incorporate approved change orders, design changes, scope changes, and other modifications into project schedules. 

• Assess schedule impacts associated with changes and delays. 

• Maintain a clear record of schedule revisions and changes to key milestones. 

• Coordinate with project controls and commercial teams regarding schedule impacts on cost and contract requirements. 

Project Closeout 

• Track completion of outstanding construction activities, inspections, punch-list items, commissioning, and turnover requirements. 

• Maintain the schedule through project completion and closeout. 

• Support the preparation of final schedule reports and project documentation. 

• Assist with collecting schedule information for lessons learned and historical project data. 

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, Business, or a related field is preferred. 

• 3–7 years of experience in construction scheduling, project controls, construction management, or a related field. 

• Experience developing and maintaining construction schedules for commercial, industrial, civil, infrastructure, or other construction projects. 

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, project execution, and scheduling principles. 

• Experience with scheduling software such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or equivalent scheduling platforms. 

• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office applications. 

• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and project documentation. 

• Understanding of critical path methodology and schedule logic. 

• Experience with progress measurement and schedule performance reporting. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 is strongly preferred. 

• Experience with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Oracle Primavera Cloud, or similar construction/project management platforms. 

• Experience with earned value management or other project controls methodologies. 

• Experience preparing baseline schedules and schedule narratives. 

• Experience with delay analysis, time-impact analysis, and recovery scheduling. 

• Experience working on large-scale or complex construction projects. 

• Professional certifications such as PSP (Planning & Scheduling Professional), PMI-SP, PMP, or CCM are a plus. 

Key Skills & Competencies 

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. 

• Strong understanding of construction activities and sequencing. 

• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
