Senior Scheduler

Company Overview P&E Constructors is an employee-owned (ESOP) mechanical and electrical construction firm executing large capital projects with deep roots in the industrial construction sector. Since 1946, we’ve delivered fabrication and installation services with a commitment to safety, quality, reliability, and client-focused solutions. Work Location & Travel Expectations This role supports projects across the United States and requires a high level of travel based on business and project needs. Candidates may be based anywhere within the U.S.; however, the selected individual should be prepared for assignments at various project locations nationwide. Travel for this position may reach up to approximately 90% . Project assignments generally last 10 to 17 months, depending on project duration and operational requirements. While assigned to a project away from home, eligible employees are provided per diem to assist with temporary living and travel-related expenses, in addition to a competitive base salary. To support project deployment, mobilization assistance may be provided, which can include mileage reimbursement or other approved travel support. Employees may also receive extended weekend rotations approximately once per month, allowing additional time for travel home. Position Overview The Senior Scheduler position is responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing comprehensive Critical Path Method (CPM) project schedules in Primavera P6 across P&E’s mechanical and electrical construction projects. This role establishes and maintains the project baseline and critical path, integrates field progress and subcontractor input, performs schedule analysis, and delivers the reporting that keeps large capital projects on time. The Senior Scheduler serves as the on-site project scheduler on assigned projects, partnering with project managers, superintendents, estimators, and project controls to translate scope, sequencing, and means and methods into a realistic, resource-loaded plan.
