Senior Project Scheduler
Initial 12 Month W2 Contract
Hybrid Schedule
Houston, TX
About the Client
Our client is a well-established global organization supporting complex technical projects across multiple industries. The team partners with internal stakeholders and external customers to deliver large-scale project solutions from early planning through execution. The environment is fast-paced, detail-driven, and collaborative, with a strong focus on safety, quality, schedule, and successful project delivery.
About the Role
This role will support project scheduling, progress tracking, reporting, and schedule analysis across engineering, construction, and commissioning phases. The selected candidate will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and communicating project schedules, tracking milestones, analyzing critical path and schedule variances, updating progress curves, and supporting weekly and monthly reporting. This is a hands-on scheduling role for someone who can truly own the schedule. The team needs a strong Primavera P6 user who can independently manage schedules, load resources, export data, and create reports and visuals for the project team. Strong Excel skills are critical, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, charts, tables, and progress curves. This position is expected to be 40 hours per week and should be viewed as a hybrid / office-based role. There may be occasional travel to project sites depending on project needs, with expenses covered.
About You
You are an experienced Project Scheduler who enjoys being close to the details of planning, scheduling, reporting, and project controls. You are not simply entering data into P6 – you know how to run the schedule, identify issues, and clearly communicate what the data means.
You are confident working independently, supporting multiple project stakeholders, and providing clear updates without needing heavy direction. You are also comfortable using Excel to organize data, build reports, and create visuals that help project teams make decisions.
This role is best suited for someone who enjoys being an individual contributor and wants to stay hands-on in planning and scheduling rather than moving into a people-management position.
