I&C Scheduling Superintendent

The I&C Scheduling Superintendent provides direct field leadership for Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) construction and supports project scheduling and workflow coordination. Approximately 70% of this position focuses on supervising crews, planning manpower, coordinating trades, and executing construction work safely and efficiently. The remaining 30% focuses on reviewing schedules, developing look-ahead plans, tracking progress, forecasting resources, and managing schedule risks. This position translates project milestones into practical daily and weekly field plans.

A Typical Day at Prime Controls

Field Supervision & Construction Execution

• Directly supervise electricians, controls installers, and assigned I&C field personnel.
• Plan, assign, and coordinate daily and weekly field activities based on project priorities and schedule requirements.
• Coordinate manpower and crew loading based on upcoming work, available work areas, and project milestones.
• Provide field leadership to ensure I&C installations are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project drawings, specifications, quality requirements, and applicable construction standards.
• Monitor field progress and productivity against planned activities and project milestones.
• Coordinate I&C installation sequencing, work areas, and handoffs with electrical, mechanical, equipment, general contractor, and other construction trades.
• Identify and proactively address constraints involving manpower, materials, drawings, engineering, access, equipment, predecessor activities, or competing construction activities.
• Participate in construction coordination meetings and communicate upcoming I&C activities, constraints, dependencies, access requirements, and potential schedule impacts.
• Coordinate with Project Management, engineering, procurement, vendors, and other stakeholders so field crews have the information and resources required to execute scheduled work.
• Adjust field priorities, manpower, and work sequencing as project conditions change.
• Support installation, testing, startup, commissioning, punch-list completion, and project turnover activities.

Scheduling & Workflow Coordination

• Use Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or comparable scheduling software to review, maintain, or update I&C construction activities.
• Review project schedules and understand activity sequencing, durations, predecessors and successors, milestones, float, and critical-path considerations.
• Develop short-term look-ahead schedules and translate project schedules into executable daily and weekly field work plans.
• Track actual field progress against scheduled activities and maintain accurate schedule status and forecast information.
• Forecast manpower requirements based on upcoming scheduled activities and current field conditions.
• Identify schedule constraints and potential impacts early enough to support corrective action.
• Develop practical recovery or resequencing plans when construction activities fall behind or project conditions change.
• Coordinate I&C schedule activities and workflow interfaces with other contractors and construction trades.
• Participate in project scheduling meetings and communicate progress, upcoming activities, dependencies, constraints, and potential schedule impacts.
• Maintain alignment between field execution, manpower, materials, engineering deliverables, construction access, and the overall project schedule.
