QISG is seeking an experienced EPC Planning & Scheduling Manager to lead integrated planning and scheduling efforts across complex, multi-project EPC construction programs. This role will be responsible for developing project planning strategies, overseeing a team of Scheduler/Planners, and building a strong scheduling function to support successful project execution.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on planning leader who understands how engineering, procurement, construction, subcontractor activities, resources, and constraints impact project outcomes. This individual will work closely with clients, subcontractors, project leadership, and internal teams to establish realistic execution plans, manage critical path activities, identify schedule risks, and drive proactive solutions.

This role requires someone who can go beyond schedule updates — a leader who understands what drives the critical path, how logic relationships, lag/lead time, and float impact project completion, and how to influence teams to protect key milestones.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Scheduler/Planners supporting complex EPC projects
• Build and grow the planning and scheduling team by establishing processes, standards, best practices, and career development opportunities
• Provide leadership and oversight for integrated project planning, scheduling, forecasting, and reporting activities
• Develop and maintain EPC master schedules that align engineering, procurement, construction, subcontractor activities, and client milestones
• Partner directly with clients, subcontractors, project managers, and functional leaders to align execution plans and resolve schedule challenges
• Own critical path analysis and communicate key schedule drivers, risks, constraints, and recovery strategies
• Analyze schedule logic, relationships, lag/lead time, float, sequencing, and resource impacts to understand what is driving project completion dates
• Challenge schedule assumptions and work with project teams to develop mitigation and recovery plans
• Oversee CPM and LSM schedule development, including cost- and resource-loaded schedules
• Lead schedule reviews, baseline development, progress updates, forecasting, and change management
• Perform schedule risk analysis, critical path reviews, and time impact analysis (TIA)
• Oversee Earned Value Management (EVM), KPIs, and integrated cost/schedule performance reporting
• Establish scheduling standards and improve planning discipline across projects and teams
• Support proposal, pursuit, and project startup planning efforts

• 10+ years of EPC construction planning and scheduling experience
• Experience leading, mentoring, and developing Scheduler/Planner teams
• Proven ability to build and improve scheduling processes and team capabilities
• Expert-level Primavera P6 experience
• Strong understanding of CPM scheduling, critical path methodology, and schedule analytics
• Ability to identify schedule drivers and explain the impact of logic ties, lag/lead time, float, constraints, and sequencing decisions
• Experience partnering with clients, subcontractors, and cross-functional project teams
• Strong understanding of EPC execution across engineering, procurement, and construction
• Experience with Earned Value Management (EVM), cost/schedule integration, and performance reporting
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Utility, power generation, or large-scale industrial EPC experience preferred
