Job Description Hensel Phelps Services is looking for a scheduler who wants to do more than update bars on a Gantt chart. In this role you'll own the planning and schedule-risk function across our Services lines of business — commissioning, low-voltage, and specialized construction — and build the templates, historical library, and reporting standards that make every future project start faster. You'll sit on our Operational Support & Innovation (OSI) team, where scheduling expertise meets systems and data work.
Key Responsibilities Planning & Risk Management
Build and maintain project schedules that optimize task sequencing, logic, and resource loading across assigned Services projects. Identify scheduling conflicts and constraints early, model mitigation options, and drive workflow improvements with project teams. Track Hensel Phelps Services scopes — commissioning (Cx), low-voltage, and specialized construction — against the master Hensel Phelps Construction schedule, surfacing divergence and risk to project and business unit leaders before it impacts the project. Diagnose schedule impacts and root causes; partner with project leaders to produce recovery schedules and Time Impact Analyses (TIAs). Develop and maintain schedule templates by line of business to accelerate and standardize project startup. Curate a well-organized historical schedule library — benchmark durations, production rates, and sequencing logic — to support procurement, bidding, and future startups. Systems, Data & Team
Lead assigned OSI initiatives, applying advanced system knowledge, data analysis, and process optimization within your focus areas. Translate operational needs into defined execution tasks and technical solutions with cross-functional stakeholders; escalate risks and dependencies early. Facilitate working sessions — prepare materials, guide discussions to defined objectives, and document decisions and follow-ups. Set and enforce documentation, reporting, and system-usage standards so data stays consistent, accurate, and scalable. Safeguard data accuracy and system integrity, proactively flagging issues and recommending corrective action. Mentor junior team members through day-to-day guidance, knowledge sharing, and technical support. Run assigned workstreams with increasing independence, escalating strategic, cross-functional, and resourcing considerations to senior leadership.
Additional Qualifications/Responsibilities: Qualifications Required qualifications
