Job DescriptionEBC thinks outside the box and deploys all its know-how to carry out major infrastructure projects: bridges, roads, highways, tunnels, and marine installations. Our ability to meet deadlines and budgets, along with our extensive expertise, allows us to play an active role in large-scale projects such as the Samuel-De-Champlain Bridge, the Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM), and the Site C hydroelectric power station near Fort St. John, BC.
We are seeking an onsite planner for our Ladore Project located in Campbell River.
This role will require full-time onsite presence.
The Project Scheduler owns the preparation, maintenance, updating and reporting of the project’s Supply & Install Schedule and its associated look-aheads, narratives and registers.
The role converts the construction plan and the discipline engineers’ inputs into a logically sound CPM model, keeps it current against actual progress, protects and analyses the critical path, and produces the schedule deliverables the contract requires at the frequency it specifies.
The role sits within the Submittals & Scheduling function reporting to the Project Director, working alongside the Document Controller and coordinating closely with Project Controls, the discipline Project Engineers, Construction, and the AELGP Contract Administrator.
Its output underpins monthly progress certification and payment, gate-outage management, delay and acceleration analysis, and BC Hydro’s understanding of where the Work stands.
Responsibilities: - Build and maintain the prime-contract CPM Supply & Install Schedule in Primavera P6, to the Appendix F standard.
- Produce the contract schedule deliverables at the required frequency - the Baseline (established), monthly progress updates, weekly 3-week look-aheads, the schedule register and the as-built schedule - plus the monthly EXCO schedule update.
- Actualise progress and report status frequently (percent-complete no less than two times per week, on Mondays and Thursdays).
- Integrate project quantities into the schedule and update quantities complete weekly, with input from the Field Engineers.
- Monitor and protect the critical path, and provide early warning of slippage and late-trending activities.
- Support the net-effect-on-time submissions for Changes, extension-of-time claims, time-impact analysis and float-erosion notices with the Contract Administrator (GC.9 and GC.10).
- Integrate the subcontractor and discipline schedules - provided by the Project Engineers - into P6, and coordinate across the project team.
