Full Job Description
The Role
We are currently searching for an experienced, driven Senior Scheduler to join our Project Controls / Scheduling team in the Houston office. This is a high-visibility role: the successful candidate will set the pace and technical standard for the scheduling team and begin mentoring and managing a small group of schedulers alongside the Scheduling Manager.
Key Responsibilities
Own and maintain resource-loaded P6 master schedules for complex, high-value utility-scale solar projects, integrating cost, quantity, and progress data.
Lead schedule recovery planning, delay analysis, critical path optimization, and forecasting of completion dates on assigned projects.
Perform advanced earned value analysis (CPI/SPI, ETC/EAC implications, variance at completion) and translate results into clear, actionable recommendations for project and executive leadership.
Build and maintain data mapping between P6 schedule activities and cost codes, ensuring schedule and cost systems stay fully reconciled.
Develop and govern advanced Power BI dashboards and Power Query (M) models supporting schedule, EVM, and KPI reporting across the Houston portfolio.
Mentor, train, and provide day-to-day technical direction to schedulers, sharing supervisory workload with the Scheduling Manager.
Help set the technical standard and working rhythm for the scheduling team - scheduling SOPs, templates, QA practices, and reporting cadence.
Champion continuous improvement of scheduling rigor and methodology; proactively identify and implement better tools, standards, and practices rather than maintaining the status quo.
Travel to project sites approximately every 1-2 months to validate field progress, strengthen schedule-to-field alignment, and build relationships with site teams.
Partner with the Scheduling Manager on resource planning, staffing, and workload balancing across the scheduling group.
Facilitate schedule update meetings, compile progress reporting (Actual vs. Plan, S-curves), and communicate risks and opportunities based on schedule analysis

Proven experience mapping P6 schedule activities to cost codes and reconciling schedule and cost systems.
Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6 and advanced Excel (Power Query, pivot-based modeling).
Strong earned value management fluency (PV, EV, AC, SV/SPI, CV/CPI, ETC/EAC) with the ability to translate results into executive-ready insight.
Experience mentoring or informally leading schedulers; models strong scheduling discipline and sets a high bar for others
Eager to challenge and improve existing scheduling methodology, tools, and standards rather than simply maintaining them.
