• Support schedule change evaluation and recovery planning
Monitoring & Reporting:
• Track progress against baseline and forecast dates
• Prepare schedule narratives, milestone reports, and executive summaries
• Support monthly Owner reporting and lender-facing schedule inputs
• Communicate schedule risks clearly and objectively to stakeholders
Coordination & Stakeholder Support:
• Participate in schedule review meetings with EPCs, developers, and project teams
• Provide independent, fact-based schedule assessments
• Support commissioning and grid interconnection sequencing outside EPC scope
• Contribute to internal scheduling standards and best practices
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of experience in project scheduling or project controls
• Strong experience with Microsoft Project and/or Primavera P6
• Solid understanding of:

• Schedule baselining and updates
• Float and logic analysis
• Milestone-driven schedules
• Experience reviewing and working with EPC contractor schedules
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment
Preferred Experience (Nice to Have)
• Utility-scale wind, solar, or BESS project experience
• Owner’s Rep, developer, or lender advisory experience
• Experience supporting financing or investment decision schedules
• Familiarity with commissioning, energization, and interconnection sequencing
• Experience managing multiple projects concurrently
What Sets You Apart
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical judgment
• Comfortable challenging schedules professionally and objectively
• Owner-focused mindset with a high standard of integrity
• Able to translate complex schedule data into clear insights for leadership
• Organized, disciplined, and proactive
What This Role Is / Is Not
This role is:
• Owner-side project scheduling
• Independent schedule review and integration
• Risk-focused and decision-support oriented
This role is not:
• A contractor or EPC scheduler embedded in a single project
• A field superintendent or construction management role
• A purely administrative scheduling position
Compensation & Benefits
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off and holidays
• Fully remote work flexibility
• Opportunity to grow with a fast-growing Owner’s Rep and project controls practice
