• Develop and manage integrated Level 3–5 Primavera P6 schedules across all project phases
• Lead WBS and CBS alignment to support estimating, cost tracking, and progress measurement
• Develop resource-loaded schedules and manpower forecasts
• Perform critical path analysis, float analysis, and schedule scenario modeling
• Build and maintain recovery plans in response to delays, scope changes, or logistics disruptions
• Early-Phase Planning
• Support FEL and pre-FEED efforts by developing initial schedules and execution strategies
• Work with estimating teams to validate durations, sequencing, and productivity assumptions
• Establish realistic schedule logic aligned with scope, resources, and project execution strategy
• Field Execution
• Maintain and drive the schedule in alignment with field progress and site conditions

• Incorporate ice road logistics, including haul windows, load restrictions, and material staging strategies
• Build schedules that reflect seasonal constraints, including winter construction windows and limited summer access
• Develop contingency plans for logistics-driven delays due to weather, transport, or material slippage
• System Turnover & Commissioning
• Integrate system-based turnover sequencing into the construction schedule — not area-based completion
• Align schedule milestones with mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, and commissioning handover
• Ensure construction activities are sequenced to support efficient, risk-managed system turnover
• Coordinate handover sequencing with client priorities and operations readiness requirements
• Perform other duties as assigned
  
  

Required Minimum Qualifications:

• 10 years of scheduling experience in industrial construction
• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6
• Proven experience planning and executing $100MM projects
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, modularization, and field execution workflows
• Experience integrating system turnover and commissioning into construction schedules
• Experience planning in remote or Arctic environments strongly preferred
• Ability to lead planning efforts across multi-discipline teams
• Strong communication and coordination skills
