  • Coordinate with multiple teams —engineering, procurement, construction, and operations—to gather inputs and keep the schedule up to date.
  • Monitor progress against the schedule and flag any delays or risks early so the team can course-correct.
  • Plan and schedule plant outages in detail, working closely with operations and maintenance to ensure downtime is minimized and safety is prioritized.
  • Run weekly or biweekly schedule reviews to keep everyone aligned and provide updates on progress, upcoming work, and any critical path concerns.
  • Analyze schedule impacts from changes or unforeseen events, and work with stakeholders to re-baseline or re-prioritize as needed.
  • Prepare reports and visuals that clearly communicate schedule performance, key milestones, and lookaheads for leadership and project stakeholders.
About You
  • 5+ years' experience as a Scheduler/Planner
  • Previous experience on power plants and outages is highly desirable
    Strong P6 & MS Project capabilities
  • Available for 6 days a week from September to December
