- Prepare and present scheduling reports, including forecasts, variances, and project status updates to management and stakeholders.
- Ensure compliance with safety standards, project guidelines, and regulatory requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
- Scheduling experience within a construction or engineering environment, with a focus on large-scale energy or infrastructure projects.
- Proficiency in Primavera P6 is required; familiarity with other scheduling software is a plus.
- Previous experience with FACTs or similar grid stabilization projects is an asset.
- Strong understanding of project management principles, including risk management, cost control, and resource allocation.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively coordinate with cross-functional teams.
- Background in civil construction, EPC environments, or electrical installation projects.
- Proven ability to manage high‑volume activity inputs and updates.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Project.
- Ability to work independently and follow through with stakeholders.
