Senior Regional Construction Scheduler - Delay Claims & P6 Specialist

LAUSD's Project Execution group delivers the District's school construction and modernization projects. As Senior Regional Construction Scheduler, you report to the Senior Construction Manager of Scheduling and Estimating, help supervise the Project Schedulers, and work with Owner's Authorized Representatives, Senior Project Managers, and site staff on the review of contractor schedules.

You read the construction drawings to understand the scope, review contractor Primavera P6 baseline schedules and monthly updates on LAUSD's structured review templates, and perform time impact analysis using the windows method, which measures how each delay moved the finish date, in a detailed write-up. You decide whether work is in or out of scope and whether a paid or unpaid time extension has merit, and you develop and update the program and master schedules and the reports upper management uses to track key milestones.

This is a full-time, in-person position.
