About the role

Marketech International Corporation USA is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Project Scheduler to support detailed construction scheduling, project coordination, schedule tracking, and progress reporting for semiconductor construction and facility-related projects.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and update detailed construction project schedules using drawings, specifications, scope documents, baseline schedules, contractor inputs, and project requirements.
• Build integrated schedules covering multiple project phases, including site preparation, civil work, structural work, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, cleanroom build-out, utility installation, tool installation, commissioning, turnover, and project closeout.
• Establish and maintain work breakdown structures, activity logic, task durations, dependencies, milestones, constraints, and schedule assumptions.
• Identify critical path activities, near-critical work, long-lead materials, key milestones, schedule constraints, and sequencing requirements.
• Cover coordination with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, general contractors, and owner representatives to collect schedule inputs and validate construction sequencing.
• Incorporate engineering changes, scope adjustments, design revisions, claims, delays, recovery plans, and approved project changes into the project schedule.
• Support the development of baseline schedules, detailed look-ahead schedules, milestone plans, and project-specific reporting tools.

• Experience supporting complex construction, industrial, manufacturing, semiconductor, data center, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, utility, or high-tech facility projects.
• Strong understanding of Critical Path Method scheduling, baseline schedule management, progress tracking, variance analysis, schedule forecasting, and recovery planning.
• Experience using Primavera P6, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, Advanced Excel, or similar scheduling and project-controls tools.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, scope documents, schedules, and technical project documentation.
• Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and documentation skills.
• Ability to manage multiple project schedules, deadlines, milestones, stakeholders, and changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to work onsite in an active construction, industrial, or semiconductor project environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience supporting semiconductor fab construction, tool installation, cleanroom construction, or advanced-manufacturing environments.
• Experience with Primavera P6 / Oracle Primavera, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, advanced Excel reporting, or other project-controls systems.
• Experience with earned value management, resource loading, resource leveling, schedule-cost integration, and progress measurement.
• Experience supporting 4D or 5D scheduling, BIM coordination, construction sequencing models, or advanced project-control platforms.
• Experience coordinating with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, general contractors, and client representatives.
• Experience developing recovery schedules, acceleration plans, mitigation strategies, or what-if schedule scenarios.
• Familiarity with construction contracts, change-order impacts, claims support, permitting timelines, and project closeout schedules.
• PMI Scheduling Professional, AACE Planning and Scheduling Professional, Certified Scheduling Technician, or PMP certification.
• Mandarin Chinese communication skills are a plus, but not required.

Skills & Competencies
