Your Opportunity
Our PMCM Water group is seeking a Senior Project Controls Specialist – Planning & Scheduling (Senior Planner) to join the team in a permanent, full-time position. In this role, you will serve as the owner’s scheduling lead for a large, complex infrastructure program. You will oversee the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), which consolidates consultant and contractor schedules and provides executive-level schedule insight to program leadership.
You will lead the development, maintenance, analysis, and reporting of integrated, cost- and resource-loaded schedules in Primavera P6. You will play a key role in supporting the integrated program management team through progress and performance analysis, contractor oversight, risk assessment, interface and permit coordination, and executive reporting.
As the lead scheduler, you will support the program team in developing and reporting cost-loaded IMS that coordinate interfaces among multiple consultants, contractors, and third parties. You will help ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget through proactive schedule analysis, contractor performance evaluation, forecasting, and early identification of risks affecting schedule and productivity. You will also review and enhance planning processes, including look-ahead scheduling, to promote increasingly proactive and effective solutions.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Create, manage, and oversee the Integrated Master Schedule in Primavera P6, incorporating all design, procurement, supply, construction, third-party, and owner activities within Program’s scope.
- Lead the development, maintenance, and governance of consultant and contractor baseline and current schedules in alignment with the client’s program controls requirements, ensuring integration of scope, cost, progress measurement, and reporting structures.
- Collaborate with project and construction managers, engineering, procurement, contractors, and operations teams to maintain Integrated Master Schedule integrity.
- Establish and enforce program scheduling standards, including WBS, activity coding, calendars, progress measurement rules, and reporting calendar across all consultants and contractors.
