Master Scheduler

• Work with Project/Program Leadership and Controls teams to develop and maintain integrated master schedule, including layouts and reports for various level stakeholders.

• Collaborate on master risk register and project budget baseline to integrate with IMS as necessary.

• Perform CPM analysis of contractor schedule submissions, to determine

schedule changes in dates, durations, float, logic, responsibility, and to

integrate with IMS.

Special Skillset:

• Proficient in SharePoint, MSPS, and Primavera

• Experience with PMIS and vendor interaction/collaboration systems

• Demonstrated project controls implementation in a project setting, primarily schedule skills (schedule management, schedule reporting)

• Preferred project experience on improvement projects and SOGR maintenance programs, primarily pertaining to heavy rail stations and facilities infrastructure

A specific Client Department’s current scheduling practices are a mix in terms of format and

functionality. There is no direct interfacing of project schedule with a Project Management

Information System (PMIS). Schedule formats consist of vendor-submitted P6/MSP schedules,

in-house MSP schedules, or simple milestone-only schedules maintained in Excel or a PMIS.

This Client Department’s PMO has launched an initiative to centralize project/program

schedules in a P6 instance, with the priority objectives of easing reporting requirements on the

Project Managers, and enabling better processes for schedule development, updating, and

monitoring/controlling. This centralization is expected to also support the processes of change

management and control, and (potentially) cost/resource forecasting.

Master Scheduling:

The Director of PMO Governance is seeking a Master Scheduler to help with anything and everything project scheduling related, such as (but potentially not limited to):

• Act as Master Scheduler for key projects being executed by the Department, that may

be lacking a Master Scheduler for improving and maintaining an IMS

• Drafting and maintaining Guidelines pertaining to baseline and progress update schedule

requirements for Project Managers

• Training our Project Managers along the way

• Drafting and maintaining a Scheduling Technical User Guide for the PMO Project

Controls staff to utilize in performing scheduling duties (how to use P6 in our roles to

achieve our specific department objectives)

• Mentoring and training the PMO Project Controls staff on using P6 and project

scheduling standards/best practices

The candidate should expect to learn about the portfolio by communicating directly with Project

Team members to make discoveries regarding scope of work, current scheduling practices in

place, current schedule deliverables executed, and challenges surrounding the schedule. This

will also be an opportunity to define scheduling policies and protocol for the Department.
