Senior Scheduler/Planner
Mining Corporation, New York, NY, United States
Job Title: Senior Scheduler/Planner (Mining Construction | EVM Support)
Company: AcceleratedPM
Job Type: Rotational (2 weeks on/2 weeks off)
Job Location: Yellow Pine, Idaho
Work Schedule: Typically 12-hour shifts when on rotation
AcceleratedPM is seeking a Senior Scheduler / Planner to support field execution on a remote heavy civil and mining construction project. This is a hands‑on, field‑embedded planning role for a professional who can do more than update schedules. The successful candidate must be able to develop executable work plans, build and maintain logic‑driven Primavera P6 schedules, and translate field realities into credible short‑range and medium‑range plans. The role requires strong command of construction sequencing, contractor coordination, logistics‑constrained work, and resource and cost‑loaded scheduling to support progress measurement, forecasting, and EVMS reporting. This position supports the Master Scheduler and plays a key role in ensuring field inputs are realistic, timely, and defensible.
Location/Travel
Rotational assignment: 14 days on / 14 days off
Shift pattern: 12 hr days
Work environment includes active construction areas and office/trailer settings; PPE requirements apply
Accommodation and food is provided while on rotation
Role Focus
Own the quality, realism, and timeliness of field schedule inputs that roll up into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).
Convert broad execution intent into practical, constraint‑aware work plans that site leadership and contractors can actually execute.
Support reliable progress measurement, short‑interval planning, forecasting, and variance analysis in a harsh, logistics‑constrained environment.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain and update assigned portions of the Primavera P6 schedule across disciplines such as civils/earthworks, concrete, structural, utilities, mechanical/electrical installation, and commissioning.
Develop executable logic‑driven plans that reflect actual construction sequencing, workface access, haul/logistics limitations, contractor handoffs, inspection requirements, and environmental or weather constraints.
Lead detailed planning conversations with superintendents, foremen, and contractor leads to turn scope into realistic plans with clear owners, dates, and near‑term commitments.
Build and maintain resource‑loaded and cost‑loaded schedules using labor, equipment, and production assumptions that are realistic for site conditions, work packaging, and contractor capability.
Use quantities, crew composition, productivity assumptions, and installation sequencing where appropriate to support schedule development, progress measurement, and defensible forecasting.
Produce actionable look‑ahead schedules, including 2‑week, 6‑week, and 90‑day views, and actively coordinate constraint removal planning for materials, permits, access windows, inspections, cranes, laydown, haul routes, workforce availability, and weather exposure.
Validate reported progress through field verification where required, including physical percent complete, quantity‑based progress, sign‑offs, and turnover readiness.
Identify critical path and near‑critical path drivers within assigned scope and elevate impacts, conflicts, and recovery options through the Master Scheduler and site leadership.
Support development of recovery plans and resequencing options when productivity, access, logistics, weather, or contractor performance threaten milestones.
Support baseline integrity and change control by documenting logic changes, scope movement, emerging constraints, and schedule impacts with clear recommended actions.
Align schedule status, progress methods, and reporting logic to the performance measurement baseline so schedule updates can support EVMS reporting and analysis.
Coordinate with cost controls, project controls personnel, and CAM‑equivalent stakeholders as applicable to keep status, earned value progress, resource forecasts, and reporting narratives consistent and defensible.
Maintain strong schedule governance within assigned scope, including WBS alignment, calendars, coding, constraint discipline, progress rules, and schedule quality checks.
Prepare weekly dashboards, schedule narratives, and review materials to support IMS updates, client reporting, and site leadership decision‑making.
Qualifications & Requirements
10+ years of planning/scheduling experience on heavy civil, mining, large earthworks, or industrial construction projects, including significant field‑based experience supporting active construction execution.
Demonstrated experience in remote or logistics‑constrained construction environments, including rotational assignments, camp‑based work, or similarly demanding site conditions.
Strong hands‑on Primavera P6 capability, including logic development, statusing, baselines, calendars, coding, layouts, schedule quality checks, and resource/cost loading.
Demonstrated ability to build practical construction plans using quantities, production rates, crew and equipment assumptions, and real field constraints - not just task lists and target dates.
Working knowledge of Earned Value Management / EVMS concepts, including progress measurement methods, baseline discipline, forecast updates, and variance awareness.
Proven ability to interface directly with construction supervision and subcontractors and to challenge weak assumptions, unclear commitments, missing logic, and unrealistic durations without creating unnecessary friction.
Solid understanding of construction means and methods sufficient to identify sequencing flaws, interface risks, infeasible recovery plans, and schedule logic that does not reflect field reality.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear schedule narratives, explain impacts, and present recovery recommendations.
Willing and able to work a rotational assignment with extended shift days in an active jobsite environment with PPE requirements.
Preferred Skills
Mining owner‑side, EPC, or EPCM project experience.
Experience with quantity tracking, installed productivity measurement, or other progress systems used to support earned value or field performance reporting.
Exposure to time impact analysis (TIA), change‑order schedule support, and schedule impact evaluation.
Experience reviewing subcontractor schedules or integrating trade‑level planning into a broader execution schedule.
Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar reporting and visualization tools.
Salary
$110/hr 1099 (W2 w/ benefits also available)
Benefits
Comprehensive benefits package, including 401(k), health and dental insurance, and PTO for W 2 employees.
