Senior Construction Scheduler

the client A large, highly complex laboratory / science & technology building currently under construction at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

• A major new construction lab building

• A large-scale project (approximately $300M-$400M+)

• Requiring a highly experienced scheduler embedded with the contractor team

• A long-term assignment with continuity through 2028

The Scheduler will function as an integrated member of the project team, supporting planning, sequencing, and schedule management for a technically complex building program.

This is not a remote support role. The expectation is strong on-site collaboration with project leadership, superintendents, and trade partners.

In addition, the Scheduler will represent us in a visible, client-facing environment and must demonstrate strong professionalism, discretion, and interpersonal judgment.

Key Responsibilities

The role will involve typical senior scheduler duties on a large construction project, which are expected to include:

• Development and maintenance of the project schedule

• Coordination with project leadership, field teams, and subcontractors

• Schedule analysis, updates, and reporting

• Support for planning, sequencing, and schedule-related decision-making

• Participation in meetings where schedule impacts project outcomes

• Ongoing interaction with leadership and other stakeholders

• Professional representation in both formal and informal project settings

Candidate Profile

Whiting-Turner has specifically requested candidates with:

• Experience on large projects ($300M-$400M+)

• Background in science/tech, pharma, healthcare, advanced lab, or mission-critical buildings

• Strong command of Primavera P6 (required)

• Experience working embedded with a project team

• Ability to work full-time on-site (with flexibility for travel-based candidates)

In addition, the ideal candidate will:

• Be comfortable in client-facing environments

• Communicate clearly and professionally with senior project stakeholders

• Demonstrate good judgment in both formal and informal settings

• Be capable of representing the company in work and after-work environments (e.g., team dinners, client events, industry functions)

This role requires not only technical competence, but also professional presence and situational awareness.

Work Model & Travel Flexibility

While the project expects a near full-time on-site presence, there is meaningful flexibility for highly qualified remote candidates:

• Travel and per diem are covered

• Candidate may:

• Fly in Monday morning and begin work midday

• Depart Friday midday

• Travel home 2-3 weekends per month

• This flexibility is explicitly supported by the client for the right candidate

Why This Role Stands Out

• Long-term assignment through 2028

• Embedded role on a flagship, high-visibility project

• Collaboration with one of the top GCs in the country

• Technically sophisticated facility type

• Travel flexibility without sacrificing team integration

• Strong stability compared to short-term scheduling contracts

• Opportunity to build trusted relationships with both contractor and client leadership
