Position Summary

MMC is seeking an experienced Project Scheduling Manager to lead project scheduling and planning efforts for a Mission Critical construction project located in Sullivan, IN. This role is responsible for establishing and maintaining integrated project schedules, leading schedule coordination across project stakeholders, and providing the project team with clear, actionable insight into schedule performance, risks, and recovery opportunities.

The Project Scheduling Manager will work closely with project leadership, field supervision, subcontractors, general contractors, and clients to align schedule strategy with field execution. The ideal candidate has a strong construction scheduling background, experience in active construction-site environments, and the ability to manage the complexities of large-scale, fast-paced Mission Critical work. Primavera P6 experience is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development, implementation, maintenance, and governance of the project’s master CPM schedule from preconstruction through closeout.
• Establish scheduling standards, work breakdown structures, milestones, activity coding, logic ties, update procedures, and reporting requirements for the project.
• Partner with Project Managers, Superintendents, Foremen, trade partners, and general contractors to develop detailed, executable schedules that reflect field conditions and project priorities.
• Manage regular schedule updates, progress reviews, and critical-path analyses; communicate material variances, constraints, risks, and recommended corrective actions to project leadership.
• Lead schedule coordination meetings with internal teams, owners, general contractors, and subcontractors to confirm sequencing, milestone commitments, procurement needs, and interface requirements.
• Develop and oversee short-term look-ahead schedules, including activities that support manpower planning, work sequencing, material delivery, commissioning, and turnover milestones.
• Identify schedule risks and opportunities early; develop and monitor recovery plans when project performance falls behind the approved baseline or key milestone dates.
• Review subcontractor and trade-partner schedules for completeness, logic, resource alignment, integration with the master schedule, and compliance with contractual or project requirements.
• Prepare schedule narratives, dashboards, milestone reports, executive summaries, and client-facing updates that clearly communicate project status and forecasted completion.
• Support the documentation and analysis of schedule impacts associated with change orders, scope changes, unforeseen conditions, delays, and potential claims.
• Provide coaching, direction, and technical scheduling support to project team members and scheduling personnel, as applicable.
• Ensure schedule records, update files, supporting documentation, and historical project data are maintained in accordance with company and project requirements.
• Participate in pull-planning, coordination, progress, and project leadership meetings to connect the project schedule with daily field execution.
• Other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive experience in construction scheduling, project controls, project planning, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience developing, managing, and updating detailed construction schedules for complex projects.
• Prior experience working in or directly supporting an active construction-site environment.
• Strong knowledge of CPM scheduling concepts, construction sequencing, critical-path analysis, schedule updates, and schedule recovery planning.
• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, scopes of work, project plans, and subcontractor schedules.
• Experience leading schedule coordination discussions and communicating schedule requirements across field, project management, client, and trade-partner teams.
• Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, Outlook, and presentation tools.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and operate effectively in a fast-paced Mission Critical project environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency with Primavera P6.
• Previous experience scheduling HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, piping, electrical, or other MEP construction work.
• Experience supporting Mission Critical, data center, healthcare, industrial, or other complex construction projects.
• Experience with pull planning, Lean construction practices, short-interval planning, and field-driven scheduling.
• Experience preparing schedule-impact analyses, recovery schedules, delay documentation, or time-impact evaluations.
• Prior leadership, mentoring, or management experience within a scheduling or project-controls function.
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
