This position will initially be housed in our national mechanical division which is responsible for the HVAC, Plumbing, and Piping scopes of work for new construction projects as well as remodel work in buildings such as mission critical facilities, hospitals and associated healthcare buildings, high-rise buildings, athletic stadiums, and other commercial building types located throughout the Midwest.

  • Integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows as well as prefabrication processes into the P6 schedule
  • Developing standardized WBS templates for mechanical projects

  • Maintaining a risk register tracking latent conditions like delayed equipment deliveries or design conflicts in mechanical rooms
  • Conducting monthly schedule audits to ensure compliance with ASTM E2691-22 Standards for construction schedules
  • Implement schedule risk assessment toolkits using Monte Carlo simulations
  • Cross functional collaboration – serve as a scheduling liaison between:
  • Project Managers to align mechanical milestones with other trades

  • Prefabrication shops to synchronize ductwork/piping/module production with field needs and delivery requirements
  • Union dispatchers to forecast pipefitter/plumber/sheet metal manpower requirements
  • Owner Representatives during schedule review meetings
  • Develop training modules for superintendents on schedule compliance

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, finance, or other related degrees
