Title: Scheduler V, Lead Scheduler

About the Role

As Lead Scheduler, you own the schedule for an entire community college bond program and lead the schedulers working on individual campuses. You build and maintain the master schedule and its baselines, incorporating logic, milestones, calendars, and resource and cost loading. You review contractor submissions against contracts and approved baselines, analyze delays to determine their impact on completion dates, and identify responsible parties. Your role involves leading schedule discussions in weekly progress meetings, reviews, and sessions with program leadership, highlighting critical paths, risks, and necessary actions. You also supervise other schedulers, onboard new team members, and establish scheduling standards, templates, and coding to ensure consistency across the program.

Responsibilities

• Own the program schedule: baseline, master, and detailed, including logic, constraints, milestones, calendars, and cost/resource loading
• Review every contractor schedule submittal against the contract, specifications, and approved baseline
• Perform quality control on schedules, assessing critical paths, activity relationships, float, coding, and data integrity
• Conduct time impact analysis and delay investigations, proving the effect of delays on milestones and completion dates
• Identify, track, and communicate schedule risks, and assist in developing recovery plans
• Prepare and present reports on baseline variance, critical path changes, milestone performance, forecast completion, delays, and recovery actions
• Lead and supervise schedulers on college project teams, including onboarding, day-to-day oversight, and coverage during absences
• Develop and maintain the program’s scheduling standards, templates, coding structures, and tools to ensure consistency across projects
• Serve as the primary point of contact for schedule-related questions from contractors, designers, project leadership, and program leadership

Requirements

• Knowledge of Earned Value Management or equivalent methods for measuring progress against plans
• Expertise in time impact analysis and schedule forensics, including reconstructing and defending job progress
• Working knowledge of cost engineering alongside scheduling
• Experience leading other schedulers, not just managing your own work

Preferred Qualifications

• AACE Planning and Scheduling Professional (PSP) certification
• PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) certification
