Sr. Scheduler, TAR

About the role

The Sr. Scheduler, TAR is responsible for building, maintaining, optimizing, and controlling the integrated Turnaround execution schedule across all levels of the schedule hierarchy. This includes ensuring all TAR activities are logic-tied, resource-loaded, and sequenced for maximum efficiency, minimum duration, and safe execution.

Responsibilities

• Demonstrate proactive safety leadership to the TAR team
• Develop the Turnaround master schedule using P6 or equivalent scheduling software
• Create the P6 project with a WBS structure aligned to the Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) and the TAR Systemization Plan
• Import work pack activities from STO into P6 via the P6 Sync API service
• Assign calendars and define shift patterns within Primavera P6
• Add and verify logic ties between activities
• Add operational activities into the integrated schedule in coordination with Operations
• Resource-load all Level 3 schedule activities and generate resource histograms by craft
• Resolve over-allocations by adjusting sequence, splitting activities, adjusting crew sizes, or adding shifts
• Produce the final resource histogram for Steering Committee review and approval
• Run the CPM calculation in Primavera P6 to identify the critical path and near-critical paths
• Conduct daily CP status reviews and produce a CP look-ahead daily during execution
• Identify CP variance in real-time and develop a CP recovery plan
• Escalate to the Steering Committee immediately if cumulative CP slippage exceeds 1 day
• Conduct a schedule optimization workshop during Phase 4 (Develop)
• Apply optimization techniques including line-by-line review, crew augmentation, and shift pattern optimization
• Identify all activities occurring in the same physical area at the same time and assess SIMOPS risks
• Establish the schedule baseline at the end of Phase 4 and capture baseline metrics
• Manage schedule changes through documentation in the Schedule Variance Report
• Track and report schedule progress, manage deviations, re-sequencing, and schedule recovery actions
• Execute the daily progress update process and produce daily schedule reports
• Measure progress using physical percent complete, milestones, and earned hours
• Produce reports per cadence, including Daily Schedule Report, S-Curve, Resource Report, and Schedule Variance Report
• Initiate recovery actions when triggers are met and apply recovery techniques
• Coordinate with Discipline Leads to validate durations, sequencing, and resource requirements
• Perform final schedule analysis and contribute schedule lessons learned to the After Action Review (AAR) during Phase 7 (Closeout)

Requirements

• 5+ years in turnaround scheduling in LNG, Oil & Gas, or Petrochemical industries
• Demonstrated advanced proficiency in Primavera P6, including CPM calculation, resource loading/leveling, baseline management, and multi-calendar scheduling
• Experience with SAP PM integration and STO (Shutdown/Turnaround/Outage) scheduling systems
• Proven experience managing integrated execution schedules for large-scale turnaround events
• Experience in schedule optimization workshops and critical path management
• Exceptional working knowledge of CMMS systems (SAP or Similar)
• Proficiency in critical path methodology, resource loading, and earned value management
• Competent at interpreting Engineering Drawings and Documentation (P&ID, ISO, GA, etc.)
• Advanced proficiency in S-Curve generation, schedule variance analysis, and productivity reporting (Power BI / Excel dashboards)
• Strong understanding of SIMOPS management, shift scheduling, and fatigue management principles
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present schedule status, variances, and recovery plans clearly to senior leadership and the Steering Committee
• Knowledge of schedule hierarchy concepts (Level 1–4) and WBS design principles

Preferred Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent industry experience
• Technical degree or NCCER certification preferred
• Primavera P6 certification or demonstrated advanced training is highly preferred
