St Albans, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Sisk Group Full time
Position Overview Senior Project Scheduler - UK Civil Engineering

Role Summary
We are seeking a Senior Project Scheduler to join our UK Build Division. This role involves collaborating with the management team to oversee the planning and scheduling of design, procurement, and construction activities associated with various projects. You will take charge of the program and scheduling management during both preconstruction and construction phases, ensuring timely and efficient project delivery. Regular reporting on progress and performance will be a key aspect of this role, with updates provided on a weekly and monthly basis.

Key Responsibilities
Program Development & Oversight
As the Senior Project Scheduler, you will lead the creation of the baseline project schedule, encompassing all facets of design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover. Each component will be meticulously logic linked, with a clear critical path established. You will also prepare a construction target schedule that identifies areas for improvement relative to the baseline schedule and develop a procurement schedule for subcontractors that incorporates design release and lead-in activities.

You will maintain organized electronic files and manage planning and scheduling documents to ensure easy access when needed, utilizing a common data environment (CDE). Providing all necessary program information to support the management team will be essential. The construction schedule will also be used to assist in the creation of project preliminary books, which include staff resources, logistics, and temporary works requirements.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing a 4D graphical model or 2D phasing plans as necessary, representing the construction sequence, phasing, and logistics. Engaging with the supply chain to refine the project schedule concerning design, lead-ins, construction durations, equipment, and labor needs will be crucial, as will reviewing risks and opportunities for each schedule produced and identifying potential mitigation strategies, including float and time risk allowances.

Reporting and Progress Tracking
You will be tasked with developing tracking schedules to maintain information and control the production of schedules by subcontractors, while also keeping an as-built schedule that highlights deviations from the baseline schedule. Inputting into change requests as needed to advise on schedule impacts for approval and instructions will be part of your responsibilities.

The successful candidate will utilize the 4D model and/or 2D phasing information to illustrate the current progress of the schedule. Producing validated output rates with appropriate clarifications to monitor live project progress, as well as providing feedback to the preconstruction department to inform new tenders, will be essential. You will also conduct proactive peer reviews of other planners' schedules to ensure consistency and continuity within the scheduling department.

Management Responsibilities
  • Report the current schedule status on all projects to the Regional Planner on a weekly/monthly basis.
  • Regularly review schedules, outputs, and phasing with the Regional Planner.
  • Conduct performance development plans (PDPs) with all assistant planners and drive actions identified in their development plans.
  • Lead and coordinate planning and scheduling duties during the preconstruction process.
  • Oversee planning and scheduling responsibilities on-site.
  • Contribute to the assessment of the schedule and entitlements under the contract, coordinating outputs with the management team.
  • Lead the program reporting on a weekly and monthly basis as required.
  • Present the schedule status at the monthly contract review meeting.
  • Ensure the quality of planning and scheduling documents produced by the team, including site teams and assistant planners.
  • Validate schedule durations through subcontractor collaboration, benchmarking from previous projects, and consultation with the project team.
Experience & Skills Required
  • Proven track record of collaborating with clients, contractors, and stakeholders on active construction projects.
  • Experience working effectively within a team environment.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of the UK and EU legal frameworks, particularly in contract management.
  • Experience in managing planning teams.
Qualifications & Training
  • Relevant degree or diploma.
  • Qualifications in construction management.
  • Certification in planning and scheduling software.
  • Membership in relevant professional organizations, where applicable.
  • Advanced training in Asta Powerproject for progress analysis and S-curve reporting.
  • Advanced training in Primavera P6 for managing costs and resources.
  • Training in managing personnel.
  • Advanced understanding of contract awareness, including JCT and NEC forms of contract.
