• Create and assess alternative phasing and sequencing strategies in response to evolving requirements or field conditions.

• Integrate quantities, production rates, costs, resources, procurement, and other project data into schedules.

• Conduct analysis on the critical path, float, schedule discrepancies, phasing conflicts, constraints, and possible delays.

• Detect missing scope, logical inconsistencies, unrealistic assumptions, sequencing conflicts, and delivery risks.

• Propose mitigation strategies and recommendations for schedule recovery.

• Conduct or assist with Time Impact Analysis, delay analysis, schedule risk analysis, and change-impact evaluations.

• Review schedules prepared by contractors and stakeholders for logical consistency, completeness, constructability, sequencing, and alignment with project requirements.

• Collaborate directly with owners, designers, contractors, field staff, and project stakeholders.

• Lead or engage in meetings focused on planning, phasing, sequencing, schedule development, review, and reconciliation.

• Clearly communicate schedule assumptions, risks, impacts, alternatives, and recommendations to clients and project teams.

• Participate in project site visits to validate assumptions, assess field conditions, and confirm construction progress.

• Mentor and support Analyst-level schedulers.

• Contribute to internal quality reviews, scheduling tools, templates, and best practices.

• Ability to interpret architectural, civil, structural, and engineering drawings and specifications and apply them to construction sequencing.

• Experience in conveying schedule findings, assumptions, risks, and recommendations directly to project teams and clients.

• Capability to develop schedules from preconstruction or early planning stages through to construction and commissioning.

• Familiarity with cost- or resource-loaded schedules.

• Experience in conducting Time Impact Analysis, schedule recovery, delay analysis, or schedule risk analysis.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with analytical judgment and problem-solving abilities.

• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 10–25% of the time.

• Preferred experience in aviation or airport scheduling.

• Experience with Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) is preferred.
