Senior Scheduler

Daily Responsibilities

• Develop, review, and maintain baseline schedules to ensure compliance with contract requirements, project milestones, and industry best practices.
• Perform comprehensive reviews of contractor baseline schedules, monthly schedule updates, recovery schedules, and schedule revisions to verify logic, durations, sequencing, resource allocation, and overall schedule integrity.
• Monitor schedule performance by analyzing critical and near-critical paths, schedule variances, float consumption, milestone achievement, and overall project progress.
• Evaluate schedule logic, constraints, calendars, and work sequencing to identify potential risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for schedule optimization.
• Review and analyze cost-loaded and resource-loaded schedules to validate labor, equipment, and material allocations and ensure alignment with project budgets and execution plans.
• Generate and maintain cash flow projections based on cost-loaded schedules and prepare periodic cash flow reports to support program budgeting and financial forecasting.
• Develop and analyze “what-if” scenario schedules to evaluate the impacts of alternative construction sequences, phasing plans, resource constraints, acceleration strategies, and recovery plans.
• Present findings and recommendations to project management to support informed decision-making.
• Perform Time Impact Analyses (TIA) for proposed changes, unforeseen conditions, and delay events in accordance with contract requirements and accepted industry practices.
• Evaluate entitlement to time extensions by analyzing project delays, concurrent delays, critical path impacts, and schedule mitigation measures, and provide recommendations for resolution.
• Support change management by evaluating schedule impacts associated with change orders, scope modifications, design revisions, and owner-directed changes.
• Prepare schedule narratives, executive dashboards, milestone reports, and recovery recommendations for project management and client review.
• Participate in schedule review meetings with owners, contractors, designers, and stakeholders to discuss schedule status, identify risks, and develop mitigation strategies.
• Cook up schedule integration across multiple projects and disciplines to ensure consistency, identify interface issues, and maintain alignment with overall program objectives.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior schedulers and project controls staff regarding scheduling best practices, Primavera P6 standards, schedule analysis, and reporting methodologies.
• Support claims avoidance and dispute resolution by performing forensic schedule analyses, evaluating delay impacts, preparing schedule exhibits, and assisting with negotiations related to time extensions and schedule-related claims.
• Ensure all scheduling activities comply with agency standards, contract specifications, project controls procedures, and industry best practices, including Primavera P6 scheduling guidelines and AACE International Recommended Practices.
