Scheduler

Key Responsibilities

Develop and Maintain the Schedule :

Create a detailed, integrated project schedule using specialized software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project). This includes all phases : design, procurement, excavation, tunneling (TBM operations), station construction, trackwork, systems installation (signaling, power), testing, and commissioning.

Incorporate Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements and define activities, durations, and dependencies based on scope and site-specific conditions (e.g., ground conditions, utility relocations).

Apply critical path method (CPM) analysis to identify and monitor critical and near-critical paths.

Monitoring and Reporting :

Gather progress updates from site teams, contractors, and subcontractors, and update the schedule with actual start / finish dates and remaining durations.

Perform variance analysis (planned vs. actual) and identify potential schedule slippages or opportunities for acceleration.

Prepare and distribute regular schedule reports (daily, weekly, monthly) and executive summaries for project management and stakeholders, highlighting key milestones and potential risks.

Analysis and Optimization :

Conduct 'what-if' scenario analysis to assess the impact of changes, delays, or mitigation strategies on the overall project timeline.

Support the change management process by analyzing and documenting the schedule impact of change orders .

Collaborate with engineering and construction teams to optimize resource allocation (equipment like Tunnel Boring Machines - TBMs, labor, and materials) and improve construction sequencing.

Risk Management :

Work with the risk management team to incorporate schedule risk assessment results and contingency buffers into the baseline schedule.

Specifically track high-risk underground activities such as ground stabilization, tunneling through challenging geology, and interface management with existing infrastructure.
