Role summary

Seeking a Senior Consultant, Scheduling & Project Controls for an Energy & Infrastructure team. This role involves owning the integrated master schedule for major energy capital projects (wind, solar, BESS, etc.) from the owner's perspective. Responsibilities include developing and controlling schedules in Primavera P6, managing baselines, processing changes, analyzing progress, identifying critical paths, performing scenario analyses, and supporting delay claims. The consultant will also review contractor schedules, act as a trusted client advisor, present findings, and train client teams. Requires expert-level Primavera P6 skills and extensive experience in CPM scheduling on large capital projects, with specific experience managing schedules from the owner's side and in client-facing advisory roles.

Grow with us. Lead with us. At Pioneer, you’ll work directly with executive teams, solving complex problems and shaping strategies that reset what’s possible. Sometimes the work is headline-worthy. Sometimes it’s foundational. But every project earns trust – and earns us the right to take on more. You’ll get the kind of access, challenge, and growth found at big firms – while helping build a company that’s scaling fast and guided by what we value. If you're looking for meaning, momentum, and a seat at the table, you're in the right place.

As a Senior Scheduler and Project Controls Consultant on our Energy & Infrastructure team, you will own the integrated schedule on major energy capital projects across wind, solar, battery energy storage (BESS), combustion turbine, thermal and LNG projects. You will sit on the owner's side of the table: building and controlling the owner's master schedule, holding EPC contractors and vendors to a credible plan, and giving client executives a schedule they can make decisions from.

You are a hands-on Primavera P6 expert and a trusted client advisor in equal measure. The expectation is simple: take the schedule, own it, and make it the single source of truth from development through construction, commissioning and handover.

Responsibilities include:

CPM schedule development and ownership

Build integrated master schedules (IMS) in Primavera P6 from scope, permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and turnover inputs

Own the schedule end to end: logic, calendars, constraints, durations, coding, WBS and a written basis of schedule

Set and control baselines. Process changes only through formal change control, and preserve versions, data dates and an audit trail

Integrate long-lead equipment, interconnection, permitting, outage and commercial milestones into one logic-driven network

Structure schedules at the right level of detail for each audience, from executive milestones to contractor-level detail

Schedule management and analysis

Run weekly status and monthly updates. Validate actual dates, remaining durations, physical progress and logic changes with accountable owners

Identify critical, near-critical and longest paths, float erosion, emerging slippage and recovery options. Turn them into decisions leaders can make

Perform what-if scenarios and time impact analyses (TIA). Support delay analysis and claims evaluations when required

Run schedule quality checks (for example, the DCMA 14-point assessment) on every update and resolve or explain exceptions

Support schedule risk analysis: facilitate risk input, build three-point durations and interpret P50 and P80 outcomes

Produce schedule narratives, milestone reports and schedule views for monthly performance reporting and dashboards

Owner's schedule management

Act as the owner's scheduler: hold EPC contractors, engineers and vendors to a credible, compliant plan

Write contractor scheduling specifications, review schedule submittals for logic and quality, and recommend acceptance, revision or rejection

Integrate contractor and vendor schedules into the owner's IMS through interface milestones with named owners on both sides

Protect the owner's position on baseline approval, float use and time extension requests

Consulting and client engagement

Serve as a trusted advisor to client project directors, project controls managers and executives. Present schedule status, risks and recommendations clearly and with confidence

Facilitate schedule reviews, planning workshops and look-ahead sessions with engineering, procurement, construction and commercial teams

Set up scheduling standards, templates, coding structures and P6 environments that clients can own and reuse

Train and coach client schedulers and project teams, and transfer capability so it lasts beyond the engagement

Own workstreams end to end, coordinate across client stakeholders and Pioneer team members, and help grow client relationships through excellent delivery

Requirements:

8+ years of hands-on CPM scheduling in Primavera P6 on large energy or infrastructure capital projects, with a track record of building integrated schedules from scratch

3+ years managing schedules from the owner's side, including oversight and review of EPC contractor and vendor schedules

2+ years in a consulting or client-facing advisory role, presenting to and influencing project and executive leadership

Delivery experience on at least one of: wind, solar, BESS, combustion turbine, combined cycle or other thermal generation, LNG, or transmission and substations

Full lifecycle exposure: development and permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and turnover

Primavera P6 (expert level, non-negotiable)

Builds and administers enterprise structures: EPS, OBS, global and project activity codes, calendars, user-defined fields and layouts

Manages baselines, scheduling options (retained logic, progress override), longest path and multiple float path analysis

Applies resource and cost loading, activity percent complete types and steps, and Global Change

Imports, reviews and integrates contractor XER files; uses schedule comparison and Claim Digger to trace changes between updates

Builds report layouts and data extracts that feed dashboards and monthly reporting

Scheduling practice

Deep command of CPM logic, critical path and float management, baseline and variance analysis, and progress measurement

Working knowledge of recognized standards, such as AACE International recommended practices, the DCMA 14-point assessment and the GAO Schedule Assessment Guide

Experience preparing or reviewing time impact analyses and schedule recovery plans
