About the Position

Are you ready to take on a career-defining challenge where your expertise in scheduling and risk management will directly impact major infrastructure projects? We’re looking for a Senior Scheduler to join our team—someone who thrives on solving complex scheduling puzzles, mitigating risks before they become roadblocks, and ensuring large-scale programs stay on track. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of project success, leveraging cutting-edge tools like Primavera P6, Monte Carlo analysis, and forensic scheduling techniques to drive efficiency and clarity. If you have a passion for precision, a knack for problem-solving, and the leadership skills to guide stakeholders through the intricacies of project scheduling and risk assessment, we want to hear from you.

• Perform schedule audits on project schedules to ensure data is “risk ready.” 
• Analyze schedules for opportunities to reduce schedule critical path duration and recover delays by creating and analyzing what-if schedules. 
• Analyze contractor delay claims through the application of forensic scheduling principles for merit, quantity, concurrent delays, excusable versus inexcusable delays, compensable versus non-compensable delays, et cetera. 
• Apply Earned Value Management techniques to schedules for purposes of reporting key performance indicators (KPIs).   
• Support change orders and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses that tie delays to cost and contractual entitlement.

• Experience scheduling for large programs (e.g., $500M+) utilizing quality and risk-based thinking.  
• Experience working on teams for large, complex infrastructure design-build programs.  
• Experience with Earned Value Management (EVM), resource planning, and cashflow management. 
• Experience conducting critical path and variance analyses, preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar methods. 
• Experience creating and presenting technical presentations in group settings and meetings.   
• Strong forensic CPM scheduling skills regarding analyzing delay claims, including the use of forensic scheduling software (e.g., Acumen Fuse, Schedule Cracker, Project Analyzer, etc.)   
• Experience with cost and schedule Monte Carlo software programs (e.g., Primavera Risk). 
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Project, Oracle Primavera P6 and/or Oracle Primavera Cloud.  
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, etc.)

• Proficiency with Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms for building interactive schedule dashboards and KPI visualizations. 
• Knowledge of construction when working in proximity to active MTA operations.
