- Project Scheduling & Planning
- Develop, manage, and maintain project Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules using Primavera P6 in alignment with the scope of work, contract requirements, and company standards.
- Build and maintain linear/tabular schedules in TILOS to reflect spread progress, right-of-way (ROW) access, and production rates across pipeline segments, stationing, and mileposts.
- Integrate labor, equipment, material, environmental, and permitting constraints specific to pipeline construction (clearing, grading, stringing, bending, welding, coating, trenching, lowering-in, backfill, hydrotest, and tie-ins)
- Establish baseline schedules, conducting detailed reviews of durations, logic, resource assignments, and resource histograms and track progress throughout project execution.
- Manage schedules for multiple concurrent pipeline projects/spreads, prioritizing workload and reporting deadlines across all assignments.
- Coordination & Communication
- Collaborate with project teams to gather accurate schedule inputs, including spread progress, ROW/permitting status, and material delivery timelines.
- Lead weekly schedule review meetings with project leadership and field teams.
- Work closely with the Project Controls Manager to align schedule updates with production goals, task durations, and Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics.
- Communicate schedule changes, delays, constraints, and risks to internal stakeholders and client representatives.
- Analysis & Reporting
- Perform critical path analysis, schedule risk assessments, and "what-if" scenarios.
- Provide clear reporting on milestone performance, spread production rates, tie-in sequencing, and hydrotest/commissioning phases.
- Support recovery planning and mitigation strategies for schedule impacts related to ROW access, permitting delays, weather, and third-party crossings.
- Compliance & Documentation
- Ensure schedules comply with contract requirements, pipeline industry standards, regulatory/permitting requirements, and WHC procedures.
- Support project teams in managing scope changes, delay claims, and compensation events by ensuring proper change management procedures are followed and documented.
- Document all schedule assumptions, logic ties, sequence changes, and risks.
- Align scheduling data with project controls functions, including cost tracking and progress measurement.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, or related field preferred.
- 3 – 10 years of scheduling experience pipeline construction projects (transmission, gathering, or distribution pipelines).
- Experience with TILOS scheduling is preferred.
- Proficiency with Primavera P6.
- Strong understanding of pipeline construction sequencing (clearing, grading, stringing, welding, coating, trenching, lowering-in, backfill, hydrotest, tie-ins, restoration).
- Ability to interpret alignment sheets, isometrics, ROW/permit drawings, and pipeline construction plans.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
- Working knowledge of Earned Value Management (EVM) principles.
- Clear and confident communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent pipeline project schedules across fast-paced, large-scale construction operations.
