Project Controls Scheduler

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce is hiring for two senior Project Controls Schedulers to support a major, fast-paced Bay Area manufacturing construction program. This role is ideal for construction professionals who enjoy analyzing and planning work but no longer want day-to-day field execution. This is not a typical scheduler role. Our scheduling needs evolve quickly, and we're looking for people who can adapt, think critically, and build executable plans in complex industrial environments.

Responsibilities:
* Own and manage detailed construction schedules for a large-scale manufacturing program
* Build, update, and maintain Primavera P6 schedules (500-1,000+ activities)
* Partner closely with construction, engineering, and project controls teams
* Translate real field conditions into accurate, actionable schedules
* Focus on MEP systems, utilities, and existing factory modifications
* Conduct regular site walks and participate in early-morning coordination meetings
* Support reporting and progress tracking for leadership
* Potentially grow into broader project controls or generalist responsibilities over time

Additional Details:
* 100% onsite at the Fremont factory; Moving to nearby leased space
* Occasional travel (about once per week) to Lathrop, CA during the first 6 months
* Contract to hire
* Schedule: 8:00 AM PST | ~50 hours/week
* Duration: 6-month contract to hire

REQUIREMENTS:
* Degree in Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management, Business, or equivalent experience
* 8-10 years of construction scheduling experience
* 3+ years of experience on large commercial, industrial, manufacturing, mining, government, and/or oil & gas construction projects
* Advanced, hands-on expertise with Primavera P6 (technical proficiency required)
* Background in heavy manufacturing, industrial construction, or oil & gas
* Strong understanding of MEP systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
* Experience working on-site, not just from an office
* Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, changing environment
* General project controls knowledge (cost, estimating, reporting) is a plus
* Highly proficient with Microsoft Excel
* Experience in Critical Path Methodology, Earned Value Management with a demonstrated history of successful schedule reporting, compression, and mitigation efforts
* Ability to work within a high-performance team with sometimes tight deadlines
