About this opportunity
Mountain West Consulting LLC lists this Project Scheduler Associate opportunity in phoenix, Arizona. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Mountain West Consulting is hiring a Project Scheduler to own the CPM schedules behind our utility, municipal, and energy construction work across the Phoenix Metro and Southwest US Area.
You’ll build and maintain baselines in Primavera P6, track physical progress against installed quantities, and give project managers the early warning they need to keep critical path work moving. Our projects include utility infrastructure for owners; municipal capital improvement programs; and power generation and energy-sector mechanical construction.
This is a project controls role, not a field supervision role. You’ll spend your time in the schedule and in front of stakeholders not running crews.
Hybrid schedule.
Phoenix office as a home base, with the flexibility to work remotely. Periodic jobsite visits to verify progress firsthand.
What You’ll Do
Develop, baseline, and maintain detailed CPM schedules in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project
Build schedules that conform to owner schedule specifications and contract requirements
Run monthly and weekly updates; track physical percent complete by installed quantities
Analyze trends, identify critical path and near-critical bottlenecks, and quantify float erosion
Flag schedule risk early, communicate it clearly, and work with PMs to build recovery plans
Produce look-ahead, variance, progress, and milestone reports that drive real decisions
Prepare status presentations covering accomplishments, risks, and pending changes
Support cost- and resource-loaded scheduling and project controls reporting
Maintain schedule documentation and support change order and time impact substantiation
Partner with project managers, project controls managers, and field teams to keep schedule data accurate
Build credible working relationships with clients, owners, subcontractors, and stakeholder
Requirements
Required
3-5 years in project scheduling or project controls on construction projects
Hands-on Primavera P6 proficiency building baselines, not just updating someone else's file

Experience in cost planning and project-controls reporting interfaces
Strong written and verbal communication with field staff, PMs, and client stakeholders
Ability to prioritize across multiple concurrent projects and work independently
Valid driver's license and a record that is insurable under company policy
Successful completion of a background check and pre-employment drug screening
Preferred
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field
Experience with utility, municipal CIP, power generation, or energy-sector construction
Cost- and resource-loaded scheduling experience
Exposure to time impact analysis or delay claims support
