We are specifically hiring someone who will:

Build schedules from architectural drawings

Maintain and update schedules weekly

Monitor whether projects are on schedule or off schedule

Identify risks and delays early

Adjust timelines proactively

Participate in scheduling meetings

Provide leadership with clear visibility into project progress

This is both a schedule builder AND a schedule manager.

The ideal candidate understands how construction projects actually move in the field and can translate plans into realistic, executable timelines that remain accurate throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Core Responsibilities:

The Construction Project Scheduler will:
• Read and interpret architectural and construction drawings
• Build detailed project schedules from scratch
• Develop milestone-driven timelines with task dependencies
• Create and manage Gantt charts with Critical Path Method (CPM)
• Continuously update schedules to reflect real project conditions
• Conduct weekly schedule reviews to determine if projects are on track
• Flag delays immediately and recommend corrective actions
• Adjust timelines based on field realities
• Coordinate sequencing with vendors and subcontractors
• Participate in project meetings related to scheduling
• Provide clear reporting on timeline health

What This Role Is NOT

Do NOT submit:

Administrative assistants

Project coordinators without technical scheduling depth

Candidates who only update schedules created by others

Data-entry style support profiles

Anyone unfamiliar with real construction workflows

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Extremely detail-oriented
• Analytical and structured
• Process-driven

This individual should bring predictability, control, and visibility to construction projects.
