We are looking for a driven and curious Intermediate Planner / Scheduler in Toronto, to support our Program Management Team.

As a key member of our Toronto based Transit / Rail Program support team, you’ll be interacting with engineering and construction contractors to understand and communicate issues and conflicts that impact the schedule. You will also analyze schedules and recommend work-arounds and schedule improvements.

• At least 5 years of Planning / Scheduling experience
• A good understanding of Transit / Rail construction, timelines, and practices

• Understand construction methodology, track access requirements and constraints, interfaces and third-party obligations.
• Implement best practice schedule and integration techniques, reflecting what are practiced on other large infrastructure programs world-wide.
• Ensure that baseline contractor schedules accepted do not un-necessarily expose the client to future claims and support the client with forensic analysis of contractor schedules in the event of claim submissions.
• Strong experience with Primavera P6 (Version 8 or higher), spreadsheets/pivot tables and preferably Visio.

Ideally, here’s what you’ll also have:

• Strong analytical thinking and skills.
• Solid knowledge and experience with earned value analysis

• Prefer Canadian work experience and understanding of various types of Canadian specific construction contracts, ie.) AFP / P3, DB or DBB projects
• Prefer demonstrated experience and knowledge of very large, complex, multi-disciplinary rail and construction programs
• An advantage to have at least some experience working for a contractor or a major consultancy
• Strong communication skills and understanding of technical terminology

Bring your curiosity, passion for innovation, and talent for multi-tasking in a fast-paced environment. We’ll help you grow, pursue and fulfill what inspires you – so we can make big impacts on the world, together.
