Senior Regional Construction Scheduler - Delay Claims & P6 Specialist

About the role

LAUSD's Project Execution group delivers the District's school construction and modernization projects. As a Senior Regional Construction Scheduler, you report to the Senior Construction Manager of Scheduling and Estimating, help supervise the Project Schedulers, and work with Owner's Authorized Representatives, Senior Project Managers, and site staff on the review of contractor schedules. You read construction drawings to understand scope, review contractor Primavera P6 baseline schedules and monthly updates using LAUSD's structured review templates, and perform time‑impact analysis using the windows method. You decide whether work is in or out of scope and whether a paid or unpaid time extension has merit, and you develop and update program and master schedules and the reports upper management uses to track key milestones. This is a full‑time, in‑person position.

• Review contractor P6 baseline schedules for missing scope, logic, or milestones, performing critical‑path analysis, cost‑loading review, and providing written comments on LAUSD's structured review templates.
• Review contractor P6 monthly updates, comment on milestone and critical‑path slippage, and produce overall schedule analysis using LAUSD's templates.
• Conduct time‑impact analysis by the windows method using contemporaneous or forensic schedule data, and produce detailed write‑ups.
• Evaluate whether work is in or out of scope and determine the merit of paid or unpaid time extensions under the contract.
• Develop, maintain, and update program schedules with relationships, logic, milestones, and constraints.
• Provide regular status updates to program and master schedules.
• Ensure correct use of program‑level codes, layouts, and reports to keep schedule data accurate.
• Participate in schedule discussions at regular meetings, prepare reports for senior management, and conduct site visits to verify contractor monthly progress.
