The Project Scheduler owns schedule development and schedule integrity for assigned transmission and substation projects within a large capital program. Working with full independence, this role builds and maintains resource-loaded Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules in Primavera P6, integrates engineering, procurement, outage, construction, and energization sequences into a coherent plan, reviews EPC contractor schedules for logic and feasibility, and translates schedule data into the variance analysis and recovery options project leadership needs to act.
