Job Description Summary
The Senior Project Scheduler leads the development, maintenance, and analysis of integrated, resource-loaded project schedules for major nuclear power projects. The role ensures that the Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule is technically sound, contractually compliant, and aligned with nuclear quality and regulatory requirements, providing project leadership with accurate forecasts, critical path visibility, and schedule risk intelligence to drive on-time delivery.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the integrated Level 1–Level 4 project master schedule in Primavera P6, covering engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), commissioning, and handover.
- Apply CPM scheduling techniques; validate logic networks, constraints, lags, calendars, and coding structures to ensure schedule integrity (DCMA 14-point assessment or equivalent).
- Resource-load and cost-load the schedule; integrate with Earned Value Management (EVM) systems to produce schedule and cost performance indicators (SPI, SV, BEI, critical path length index).
- Lead schedule risk analysis (SRA) including Monte Carlo simulation, producing P50/P80 schedule confidence dates and driving mitigation actions.
- Establish and govern the schedule basis document, scheduling procedures, work breakdown structure (WBS), and activity coding standards.
- Run the schedule update cycle: progress measurement, actualization, variance analysis, forecast re-baselining, and recovery schedule development.
- Produce management reports — critical path reports, lookahead (3-week/90-day) schedules, milestone trend analysis, float erosion reports, and executive dashboards.
- Coordinate with engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, licensing, and outage teams to integrate scope, interfaces, and handover milestones.
- Interface with contractors, vendors, and consortium partners; review and accept contractor schedules per contract requirements.
- Support change management: time impact analysis (TIA) for change orders, claims, and extension-of-time (EOT) assessments.
- Mentor and develop junior schedulers and planners; review their outputs for quality and compliance.
- Support forensic schedule analysis and delay claims preparation/defense when required.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline; equivalent combination of education and experience considered.
- Minimum 10 years of project scheduling experience, of which at least 5 years on nuclear or other highly regulated energy/megaprojects.
