A nationally recognized water and wastewater (W/WW) general contractor with a nationwide footprint is seeking a Scheduler to support the planning and execution of complex infrastructure work. This role partners closely with project teams to develop, maintain, and analyze CPM schedules that drive performance from preconstruction through commissioning on treatment plants, pump stations, conveyance/pipeline work, and related civil infrastructure.
Position Overview

This position requires strong scheduling fundamentals, practical construction sequencing knowledge, and the ability to coordinate inputs across design, procurement, permitting, construction, and commissioning activities.

- Produce schedule deliverables such as look-aheads, narratives, dashboards, and stakeholder reporting suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Support change management efforts including time impact considerations and schedule reviews.
Experience Needed
- 3+ years of construction scheduling experience on civil infrastructure projects (GC/CM or major specialty).
- Direct experience with water/wastewater work such as treatment facilities, pump stations, pipelines, and related heavy civil scopes.
- Demonstrated ability to build schedules reflecting real field constraints (crew flow, access, shutdowns/tie-ins, procurement lead times).
- Experience collaborating with project managers, superintendents, subcontractors, and owners to drive schedule adherence and resolve impacts.
Qualifications Required
- Proficiency with Primavera P6 (required); MS Project experience is a plus.
- Strong understanding of CPM scheduling principles and schedule update best practices.
