Project Scheduler

About the Position 

We’re seeking Project Schedulers at various levels for large, heavy-civil infrastructure programs—including highways, roads, bridges, transit (including rail and bus), and airport projects delivered through both traditional and alternative methods. You’ll craft logic-driven CPM schedules, fold in procurement and third-party dependencies, and convert field data into clear progress updates and forecasts. By surfacing critical-path risks early, shaping recovery strategies, and keeping stakeholders aligned, you’ll help every project advance safely, efficiently, and on time.  

This posting is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.  This posting targets Los Angeles, CA. 

Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following  

• Build and maintain an integrated CPM schedule that covers design through turnover, with logically linked activities, resource or cost loading, and clear coding for cost-control alignment. 
• Collect field progress data, update status weekly or monthly, and produce look-aheads, variance reports, and earned-value forecasts. 
• Run critical path and what-if analyses to test sequencing options, recovery plans, and alternative delivery scenarios. 
• Perform schedule-risk assessments—identify drivers, quantify exposure with tools such as Monte Carlo simulations, recommend contingencies, and track mitigation actions. 
• Support change orders and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses that tie delays to cost and contractual entitlement. 
• Integrate third-party interfaces, permitting, utility relocations, and long-lead procurement items, so the plan reflects all external dependencies. 
• Generate concise narrative reports, Gantt charts, S-curves, and KPI dashboards for project managers, field teams, and executive stakeholders. 
• Enforce schedule governance standards, maintain data integrity in scheduling tools, and mentor junior schedulers to raise overall planning maturity. 

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 and experience. 
• 5+ years of hands-on scheduling experience for heavy-civil infrastructure projects. 
• Experience with full CPM baseline schedule development, resource or cost loading, and progress updating. 
• Proven ability to interpret design drawings, specifications, BIM models, and work-breakdown structures and translate them into logically sequenced activities. 
• Experience conducting critical path and variance analyses, preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar methods. 
• Proficiency with industry standard project and construction management software (e.g., Primavera P6, TILOS, MS Project, Bluebeam, RSMeans, etc.)    
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
