Job Summary

Freeport LNG is currently recruiting for a Senior Project Scheduler with experience developing integrated project schedules using Primavera P6 to support our project team and portfolio of small, medium, and large projects. The ideal candidate will have Oil & Gas industry experience, specifically supporting Engineering, Procurement, and Construction projects for an Owner/Operator, including both greenfield and brownfield projects executed on a T&M and lump sum basis. Practical field construction experience as a craftsman, field foreman, field supervisor, or other relevant field role is strongly preferred, as this experience is valuable in developing realistic, logic-driven, resource-loaded schedules with accurate sequencing and durations.

The Senior Project Scheduler is responsible for the schedule development of all phases including FEED, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, and Startup. Responsibilities include progress tracking and forecasting, scheduling reporting and analysis, monitoring and analyzing contractor schedules, and providing support to the project team to maximize visibility of schedule status, progress, and forecasted completion. The role is based in Quintana TX, with the flexibility to travel to HQ in Houston, TX.

Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice.

Duties/Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and progress detailed, logic-driven, resource-loaded project schedules using Primavera P6 for FEED, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, and Startup phases.
• Develop granular, fully integrated EPC schedules that accurately reflect scope, sequencing, work constraints, resource requirements, quantities, durations, and project execution strategy.
• Develop construction schedules from the scope of work, construction drawings, isometrics, general arrangements, work packages, and other project documents with minimal support from craft or discipline leads.
• Integrate engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning activities to ensure full project alignment and visibility of key interfaces.
• Develop project-specific milestones, schedule basis, work breakdown structures, project coding structures, and schedule control procedures.
• Capture, validate, and report schedule progress on a routine basis, including weekly progress updates, KPI reports, trending charts, and schedule analysis.
• Develop progress tracking systems to measure, validate, and visualize project progress, productivity, earned value, quantities, and forecasted completion.
• Monitor and update schedule progress toward achieving the required project completion date and communicate changes to schedule outcome to the project team and management.
• Analyze critical path, near-critical path, float, schedule trends, productivity impacts, and key activities required to complete the work.
• Identify schedule risks, delays, constraints, and changes that may impact project completion, and develop mitigation, recovery, or alternate execution plans as needed.
• Monitor and track scope and schedule changes, including potential impacts to cost, duration, resources, milestones, and critical path.
• Assist with the development, review, validation, and approval of contractor baseline schedules.
• Monitor, analyze, and validate contractor schedule updates, progress data, manpower plans, productivity assumptions, and recovery plans.
• Ensure required project controls deliverables, contract requirements, schedule guidelines, and reporting expectations are properly implemented and maintained.
• Ensure the credibility, accuracy, and integrity of schedule data, progress updates, forecast dates, and schedule reports.
• Participate in weekly project schedule reviews, progress meetings, contractor meetings, and schedule development workshops.
• Work with contractor planners and project team members to develop, review, and update schedules in Primavera P6.
• Build and update project schedules in a group setting in real time during planning, review, and execution meetings.
• Perform schedule forecasting, risk analysis, and what-if scenarios, including the use of Acumen Risk or similar schedule risk analysis tools when required.
• Collaborate with estimating and cost control teams to ensure consistency between schedule, quantities, resource plans, cost estimates, and project forecasts.
• Prepare and validate early-phase Class 4/5 schedules, resource plans, quantities, and schedule assumptions to support project planning, estimating, and decision-making.
• Demonstrate proficiency in quantity takeoff, estimating methods, resource planning, crew planning, and duration development to support accurate baseline schedule development.
• Assist with the preparation and review of project time-related claims, delay analysis, and schedule impact evaluations.
• Support multiple projects simultaneously in a team and matrixed environment while maintaining flexibility as priorities and responsibilities evolve.
• Promote open communication, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas to improve schedule quality, execution planning, and project outcomes.
