The ideal candidate will possess strong project scheduling expertise, analytical and communication skills, and the ability to support complex projects within a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
Key Responsibilities
Scheduling & Planning
• Develop, maintain, and manage baseline (master) project schedules across all applicable disciplines (civil/structural, mechanical, electrical, architectural, etc.).
• Create detailed, resource-loaded, and time-phased schedules covering design, procurement, permitting, construction, commissioning, and close-out activities.
• Establish task dependencies, critical paths, milestones, deliverables, constraints, and project-level gates/checkpoints.
• Integrate schedule with cost, estimating, procurement, resource planning, and overall project controls functions.
Monitoring, Reporting & Project Controls
• Track actual progress against the baseline schedules and perform routine schedule updates.
• Identify schedule variances, delays, and risks; forecast impacts to milestones and project completion dates.
• Prepare and distribute schedule updates, milestone reports, dashboard, Gantt charges, and other project controls documentation.
• Lead schedule review meetings and provide briefings to project leadership and stakeholders.
• Support change-order reviews and schedule impact analysis.
Contract & Coordination Support
• Provide schedule input for pre-award planning, procurement strategies, bid evaluations, and contract reviews.
• Coordinate with field teams, subcontractors, vendors, and other project stakeholders to validate progress and support project execution.
• Review contractor-proposed schedules, sequencing, durations, and resource allocations for feasibility and alignment with project objectives.
Risk Assessment & Mitigation Planning
• Maintain schedule risk registers identifying constraints, dependencies, conflicts, and potential delays.
• Recommend corrective actions and recovery plans to address schedule slippages, resource constraints, and sequencing conflicts.
• Collaborate with project management, procurement, estimating, and field teams to develop mitigation strategies and maintain schedule performance.
Continuous Improvement & Process Optimization
• Maintain working knowledge of scheduling methodologies, industry best practices, and project controls tools.
• Recommend improvements to Fusion schedule processes, reporting tools, and project controls procedures.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance integrated project planning, coordination, and execution practices.
Qualifications
Education & Experience
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution preferred (Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Project Management, or related field).
• Minimum of 8–12 years of experience in construction scheduling, project planning, or project controls, preferably supporting federal, defense, or mission-critical construction projects preferred.
• Experience supporting vertical and horizontal construction, renovation, maintenance, or modernization projects throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Experience supporting multi-disciplinary construction teams in active construction or secure operational environments preferred.
• Relevant project controls, scheduling, or project management certifications such as PMP, PSP, CCM, PMI-SP, Primavera P6 certification, are preferred not required. Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of certifications.
Technical Skills
• Advanced proficiency with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or equivalent, plus Microsoft Office Suite.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, trade coordination, permitting, procurement lead times, subcontractor integration, and project controls principles.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain resource-loaded schedules, analyze critical path activities, and integrate schedule logic with cost, procurement, and risk considerations.
Soft Skills & Competencies
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present schedule information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proven ability to build effective working relationships with customers, subcontractors, project teams, and leadership at all organizational levels in a client-facing environment.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, adapt to changing project demands, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated professionalism, sound judgement, and integrity when handling sensitive or mission-critical information.
Physical Requirements & Work Environment
• Mixed office and active construction-site environment; this position is 100% onsite.
• Ability to conduct walk-downs, attend onsite meetings, and navigate active construction environments safely.
• Must complete all required construction site, customer, and safety training.
