Senior Scheduler

About the Position

Are you ready to take on a career-defining challenge where your expertise in scheduling and risk management will directly impact major infrastructure projects? We’re looking for a Senior Scheduler to join our team—someone who thrives on solving complex scheduling puzzles, mitigating risks before they become roadblocks, and ensuring large-scale programs stay on track. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of project success, leveraging cutting-edge tools like Primavera P6, Monte Carlo analysis, and forensic scheduling techniques to drive efficiency and clarity. If you have a passion for precision, a knack for problem-solving, and the leadership skills to guide stakeholders through the intricacies of project scheduling and risk assessment, we want to hear from you.

This is a full-time, onsite position located in the greater NYC area and is anticipated to last 1+ years. 

Responsibilities

• Review and analyze owner/project manager and contractor prepared CPM schedules, baseline schedules, and monthly schedule updates to identify critical paths, near critical paths, milestone impacts, phasing shifts and potential trends.   
• Perform schedule audits on project schedules to ensure data is “risk ready.” 
• Analyze schedules for opportunities to reduce schedule critical path duration and recover delays by creating and analyzing what-if schedules. 
• Analyze contractor delay claims through the application of forensic scheduling principles for merit, quantity, concurrent delays, excusable versus inexcusable delays, compensable versus non-compensable delays, et cetera. 
• Apply Earned Value Management techniques to schedules for purposes of reporting key performance indicators (KPIs).   
• Support change orders and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses that tie delays to cost and contractual entitlement.  
• Continuous analysis of schedules and provision of alternatives and expected outcomes to avoid any schedule delays.
• Experience creating and presenting technical presentations in group settings and meetings. 

Skills and Attributes

• Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills. 
• Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. 
• Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships. 
• Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a passion for continuous improvement. 

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field or equivalent combination of education/experience.   
• 10+ years' progressive experience in project scheduling for heavy civil rail transit projects, including full CPM baseline development, resource or cost loading, and progress updating. 
• Experience scheduling for large programs (e.g., $500M+) utilizing quality and risk-based thinking.  
• Experience working on teams for large, complex infrastructure design-build programs.  
• Experience with Earned Value Management (EVM), resource planning, and cashflow management. 
• Experience conducting critical path and variance analyses, preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar methods. 
• Experience creating and presenting technical presentations in group settings and meetings.   
• Strong forensic CPM scheduling skills regarding analyzing delay claims, including the use of forensic scheduling software (e.g., Acumen Fuse, Schedule Cracker, Project Analyzer, etc.)   
• Experience with cost and schedule Monte Carlo software programs (e.g., Primavera Risk). 
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera P6 and/or Oracle Primavera Cloud.
