About the role

Amtec is partnering with a large public school district in Los Angeles to hire a Project Scheduler. This is an owner-side position. You will review contractor schedules, track progress, and help the district’s project team decide whether time-extension requests are justified.

What you’ll do

• Read architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil drawings to understand project scope.
• Review contractor Primavera P6 baseline schedules for missing scope, missing logic or milestones, critical path, and cost loading, and write comments using the owner’s standard review templates.
• Review monthly P6 schedule updates and document milestone slippage, critical path slippage, and overall schedule performance.
• Perform QA/QC on contractor schedule submittals for conformance with the contract.
• Build earned value curves from the owner’s template guidelines, and track KPIs from P6 and Excel.
• Produce contract variance reports with root causes, plus schedule recovery recommendations.
• Perform Time Impact Analysis using the Windows Analysis method, using contemporaneous and/or forensic schedule data, with a detailed written report.
• Use the drawings and contract terms to determine whether work is in or out of scope and whether time extensions are compensable or non-compensable.
• Develop or review preliminary construction schedules based on plans and specifications.
• Update program and master schedules on a regular basis, and ensure consistent use of standard codes, layouts, and reports to protect data integrity.
• Monitor monthly construction progress, help identify problem areas and schedule impacts, and look for opportunities to advance the schedule.
• Communicate schedule and progress issues to the project team in regular meetings, and prepare reports for senior management.
• Visit construction sites and attend meetings as needed to verify contractors’ monthly progress.
