Senior Planner/Scheduler We9re seeking a
Senior Planner/Scheduler to support our Eastern Canadian Mining & Metals team.
This role is well suited to a Planner/ Scheduler who enjoys the variety and pace of engineering studies and early-stage project development. Rather than focusing on large-scale construction execution, you9ll work across a portfolio of mining and minerals studies, applying your project delivery knowledge, critical thinking, and planning expertise to help teams develop realistic schedules, anticipate challenges, and deliver successful outcomes.
This is a
hybrid role, with an expectation to spend some time working from one of our GTA offices (Toronto and/or Burlington) or the Calgary office.
About the role - Develop and maintain project schedules for mining and minerals studies, including Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEAs), Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFSs), and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and execution projects.
- Prepare and maintain the project Basis of Schedule, ensuring schedules are aligned with study objectives, scope, deliverables, and key milestones.
- Work closely with Study Managers, Project Managers, and engineering discipline leads to develop realistic, achievable schedules that support successful study execution.
- Apply sound project planning principles and critical thinking to identify scheduling risks, gaps, dependencies, and opportunities to improve study delivery.
- Establish, monitor, and regularly assess the critical path, proactively identifying potential delays and recommending practical solutions to keep studies on track.
- Facilitate Interactive Planning Sessions (IPS) with multidisciplinary teams, clients, and other stakeholders to align priorities, deliverables, and timelines.
- Develop and maintain resource-loaded schedules where appropriate, supporting effective resource planning across multiple studies.
- Ensure schedules are appropriately structured and aligned with the project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to support progress tracking, forecasting, and reporting.
- Incorporate scope changes, emerging priorities, and schedule adjustments while assessing their impact on overall study timelines.
- Prepare regular schedule updates, progress reports, and forecasts, highlighting key risks, variances, and recommended mitigation strategies.
- Support multiple studies of varying sizes and complexities, balancing competing priorities in a dynamic consulting environment.
About You - 12+ years of experience in project planning, scheduling, or project controls, ideally within an engineering consulting or project delivery environment.
- Experience supporting mining and minerals projects, with exposure to engineering studies such as PEAs, PFSs, Feasibility Studies (FSs), FEED or EPC/EPCM projects considered a strong asset.
- A solid understanding of project execution and delivery, with the ability to apply that knowledge effectively to smaller engineering studies and early-stage project development.
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to look beyond the schedule, challenge assumptions, identify potential issues, and recommend practical solutions.
- A proactive, hands-on approach to planning and scheduling, with a genuine interest in helping project teams deliver high-quality studies on time.
- Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and adapt to changing project requirements.
- Proficiency in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with Study Managers, Project Managers, engineering teams, and clients.
- Comfortable working in a collaborative, multidisciplinary consulting environment where flexibility, initiative, and sound judgment are valued.
