What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own construction or industrial project schedules end-to-end—leading updates, critical path/variance reporting, and earned-hours progress—while mentoring teams and improving scheduling workflows with tools like Primavera and Cobra.

I’m a senior project scheduling and project controls professional with extensive experience across industrial and power projects, from construction and commissioning through progress reporting and schedule baselines. I build, maintain, and update detailed, logic-driven schedules and run weekly and monthly cadence to keep stakeholders aligned.

Throughout my roles—including Scheduling Manager at Zachry Group and Senior Project Scheduler at Gleeds USA—I’ve owned the scheduling updates, earned hours/progress integration into Primavera P6, critical path analysis, variance reporting, and the distribution of reporting packages for engineering and construction teams. I’ve led scheduling support for major assets including combustion turbine and water management systems, and I’ve served as Lead Scheduler on complex chemical plant work.

I’m also experienced with enterprise project controls tools and integrations, including Primavera (multiple versions), Deltek Cobra (including Cobra 4.7 and integration work), Open Plan Professional, and Milestones Professional. I’m comfortable mentoring junior schedulers, improving processes through documentation and job aids, and translating schedule outputs into clear, actionable project reporting—whether for general contractors, project management, or executive stakeholders.
