• Develop and maintain baseline schedules, current schedules, forecasts, and recovery schedules.
• Establish activity logic, relationships, durations, milestones, constraints, and critical paths.
• Monitor project progress and identify potential delays, conflicts, and schedule risks.
• Perform schedule analysis, including critical path, float, near-critical activities, and schedule variance.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and other stakeholders to obtain accurate schedule updates.
• Track actual progress against planned progress and identify deviations from the approved baseline.
• Support development of schedule recovery and mitigation strategies when projects fall behind plans.
• Forecast project completion dates and identify potential impacts to project objectives.
• Coordinate multiple concurrent projects and priorities within a broader project portfolio.
• Review contractor and subcontractor schedules for logic, sequencing, completeness, and alignment with project objectives.
• Prepare schedule reports, dashboards, look-ahead schedules, milestone reports, and other project controls deliverables.
• Facilitate schedule review meetings and communicate schedule status, risks, and opportunities to project leadership.
• Maintain accurate and current schedule data in accordance with established project controls processes.
• Support project teams with schedule development throughout project planning, execution, and closeout.

Qualified candidates would have the following:

• 5-10+ years of professional project scheduling experience.
