What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Scheduler position at Coalesce Management Consulting?
We are seeking an experienced Project Scheduler to support large-scale capital construction projects with a major utility in NYC. This role requires deep hands-on scheduling expertise, strong field presence, and the ability to work closely with project managers, construction crews, and engineers. The ideal candidate understands how construction actually progresses in the field and can actively help teams build, analyze, and optimize schedules.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, maintain, and analyze detailed Primavera P6 schedules for utility substation and transmission construction projects.
- Build cost- and resource-loaded schedules, incorporating labor, equipment, materials, outages, and sequencing constraints.
- Apply and actively manage Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules, identifying critical and near-critical activities and assessing schedule risk.
- Support project teams by helping develop and refine high-quality baseline schedules, not just updating existing ones.
- Work directly with Project Managers, Construction Managers, and field crews to collect progress updates and validate schedule logic.
- Conduct regular on-site coordination at active construction sites (primarily Brooklyn), translating real-time field conditions into accurate schedule updates.
- Analyze schedule variances, delays, and productivity issues and recommend corrective actions or resequencing strategies.
- Prepare and present weekly and monthly schedule reports, including milestone tracking and executive-level summaries.
- Collaborate with engineering, procurement, outage planning, and construction teams to ensure alignment across all workstreams.
- Assist with Primavera P6 best practices, including mentoring or supporting less experienced schedulers as needed.
