  • Support development and alignment of Statements of Work (SOW) with project timelines and deliverables

  • Ensure alignment between scheduling tools and ERP systems (e.G., SAP)
  • Collaborate in highly cross-functional, fast-paced environments with multiple stakeholders
  • Establish and maintain planning standards, processes, and best practices

Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
  • 7–10 years of project planning/scheduling experience supporting large capital projects
  • Advanced experience with Primavera P6 and/or Primavera Cloud

  • Experience with schedule-driven forecasting and performance tracking
  • Strong knowledge of SOW development and alignment to project execution plans
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to operate effectively in schedule-intensive, fast-paced environments
