If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision, join us as a Master Scheduler. This is what you need to know:
Location: Knoxville, TN (preferred) or Vancouver, BC
Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits
Contract: Permanent, full time
Reporting to: Director of Project Controls
Your role in the mission:
The Master Scheduler is accountable for developing, maintaining, and defending a credible, fully integrated master schedule for the Fusion Direct Program. This role is not administrative; it is a technical and analytical role responsible for ensuring the program schedule is logically sound, sufficiently detailed, resource‑informed, and suitable for customer commitments.
The Master Scheduler must be able to build schedules based on program understanding, challenge incomplete or optimistic inputs, and perform detailed schedule analysis to expose risks, critical path drivers, and integration gaps across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning.
Key Responsibilities
Integrated Master Schedule Development
- Develop and maintain the Fusion Direct Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), integrating multiple project and subsystem schedules into a single, coherent program baseline.
- Ensure all schedule logic is explicit, defensible, and traceable, with clearly defined dependencies, milestones, and handoffs.
- Drive schedule maturity by enforcing sufficient task‑level detail
Schedule Credibility & Detail Discipline
- Ensure schedules reflect realistic durations, proper sequencing, and credible assumptions
- Require and validate clearly defined scope per activity, measurable completion criteria, logical predecessors and successors, and alignment to engineering, procurement, and construction realities
- Actively identify and correct schedule anti‑patterns (open ends, excessive constraints, artificial float, logic loops).
Critical Path & Risk Analysis
- Perform regular critical path, near‑critical path, and float analysis across the program.
- Conduct what‑if and scenario analysis to assess impacts of design changes, long‑lead procurement, vendor performance, and resource constraints.
- Partner with PMs and Engineering Directors to develop schedule‑based mitigation plans for high‑risk or slipping scope.
Program Controls & Governance Integration
- Align the master schedule with program cost, earned value, and risk management processes in coordination with Programs and Finance.
- Support executive reviews, PMRs, and board materials with clear, defensible schedule narratives and tier‑appropriate views (Tier 1 / Tier
2). - Maintain consistency between the integrated schedule and downstream reporting tools (e.g., project planning systems, resource tools).
Cross‑Functional Coordination
- Lead working sessions with Project Managers, Engineering, Supply Chain, Construction, and external partners to develop and refine schedule detail.
- Serve as the single point of accountability for schedule integration across internal teams and external contractors (e.g., EPC, design partners).
- Challenge inputs constructively and escalate unresolved schedule risks or inconsistencies.
What you’ll need:
- A technical degree
- 10+ years of experience in program or project scheduling for complex, capital‑intensive programs (energy, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, or similar).
- Demonstrated experience building integrated master schedules across multiple projects or workstreams.
- Proven ability to recover, restructure, or de‑risk challenged schedules through detailed analysis.
- A professional certification in scheduling or project controls is strongly preferred, such as AACE PSP, PMI-SP, AACE EVP, or CCP.
- Demonstrated experience applying scheduling and…
