Scheduler

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and Maintain the Schedule:
• Create a detailed, integrated project schedule using specialized software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project). This includes all phases: design, procurement, excavation, tunneling (TBM operations), station construction, trackwork, systems installation (signaling, power), testing, and commissioning.
• Incorporate Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements and define activities, durations, and dependencies based on scope and site-specific conditions (e.g., ground conditions, utility relocations).
• Apply critical path method (CPM) analysis to identify and monitor critical and near-critical paths.
• Monitoring and Reporting:
• Gather progress updates from site teams, contractors, and subcontractors, and update the schedule with actual start/finish dates and remaining durations.
• Perform variance analysis (planned vs. actual) and identify potential schedule slippages or opportunities for acceleration.
• Prepare and distribute regular schedule reports (daily, weekly, monthly) and executive summaries for project management and stakeholders, highlighting key milestones and potential risks.
• Analysis and Optimization:
• Conduct 'what-if' scenario analysis to assess the impact of changes, delays, or mitigation strategies on the overall project timeline.
• Support the change management process by analyzing and documenting the schedule impact of change orders.
• Collaborate with engineering and construction teams to optimize resource allocation (equipment like Tunnel Boring Machines - TBMs, labor, and materials) and improve construction sequencing.
• Risk Management:
• Work with the risk management team to incorporate schedule risk assessment results and contingency buffers into the baseline schedule.
• Specifically track high-risk underground activities such as ground stabilization, tunneling through challenging geology, and interface management with existing infrastructure.
