We are seeking a Project Scheduler / Planner to support large-scale capital projects within the energy infrastructure sector. This is a high-impact role responsible for owning and developing the integrated master schedule for projects ranging from $50M to $1B+ total installed cost.

This is not a traditional scheduling role—this position requires a hands-on planner who understands construction sequencing, project execution, and risk, and can proactively drive schedule performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) across all project phases (pre-FEED through construction and in-service)
• Build and update detailed project and construction schedules using Primavera P6
• Analyze contractor schedules for:
• Critical path accuracy
• Logic sequencing
• Durations and constraints
• Lead schedule review meetings and provide reporting to project stakeholders
• Perform what-if scenario analysis and recommend mitigation strategies
• Support project teams with:
• Schedule risk analysis
• Delay analysis
• Recovery planning
• Track project progress and support Earned Value Management (EVM) reporting
• Collaborate with engineering, procurement, and construction teams to align execution plans
• Identify risks, issues, and opportunities for schedule optimization

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in:
• Oil & gas, pipeline, or heavy industrial construction projects
• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6 (required)
• Strong understanding of:
• Construction project lifecycle
• Critical path method (CPM)
• Earned Value Management (EVM)
• Experience building schedules from the ground up (not just maintaining)
• Ability to analyze contractor schedules and provide actionable insights
• Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred

Preferred Experience

• Pipeline, compressor station, or gas facility projects
• Experience working on large capital projects ($100M+)
• Background with owner/operator or EPC organizations

Why This Role

• Opportunity to support large-scale, high-visibility projects
• Significant ownership and autonomy
• Collaborative, cross-functional project environment
• Competitive compensation with strong extension potential
• Health and dental insurance
• Short - and long-term disability
