Senior Project Controls Specialist (P6 Scheduler) - Contract
Location:Houston, TX (Preferred) or ( Remote within the U.S.) with ~25% travel to Houston
Industry:Nuclear / Energy / Advanced Reactors
Engagement:Contract
Work Authorization:Eligible under DOE 10 CFR Part 810
Why This Role Will Excite the Right SchedulerThis is a long-term contract opportunity supporting complex nuclear programs, including
outage planning, fabrication, and execution-driven schedules, from early design through final delivery.
As a Senior P6 Scheduler, you’ll go beyond maintaining schedules—you’ll build them from the ground up, understand how work is actually executed in the field and fabrication shop, and translate that reality into
accurate, logic-driven Primavera P6 schedules. Your work will directly influence outage readiness, fabrication sequencing, risk mitigation, and on-time delivery in a highly regulated nuclear environment.
This role is ideal for schedulers who understand the
nuts and bolts of Primavera P6, have lived through outages, and know how engineering, procurement, fabrication, and execution truly connect.
What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)Education
-
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or related field (required)
-
Advanced degree (preferred)
-
Additional 4 years of relevant experience (14 years total) may be considered in lieu of a degree
Experience
-
10+ years of project scheduling experience on large, complex programs (nuclear, energy, industrial, or infrastructure)
-
5+ years of hands-on Primavera P6 experience with deep, working knowledge of:
-
Logic development and sequencing
-
Calendars, constraints, and coding structures
-
Resource and cost loading
-
Baselines, progress updates, and what-if scenarios
Direct experience supporting
nuclear outages, including outage planning, execution schedules, and recovery planning
Previous
hands-on experience supporting or working with a fabrication shop, with understanding of:
Manufacturing sequencing and constraints
Shop floor workflows and deliverables
Interfaces between engineering, procurement, and fabrication
First-hand experience on
nuclear projects or nuclear power plant environments (required)
Strong ability to translate real-world execution into executable schedules
Excellent communication, technical writing, and stakeholder coordination skills
Regulatory Eligibility
-
Eligible to work under DOE 10 CFR Part 810
What You’ll Be Responsible For
As part of the PMO, you will own and drive schedule integrity across engineering, fabrication, procurement, outage planning, and execution.

-
Develop, maintain, and analyze logic-driven Primavera P6 schedules supporting nuclear projects and outages
-
Build detailed schedules reflecting fabrication, manufacturing, and delivery realities
-
Integrate outage schedules with engineering and procurement timelines
-
Perform critical path, float, and schedule risk analyses
-
Identify schedule conflicts, execution risks, and recovery options
-
Support earned value analysis and schedule performance reporting
-
Maintain baselines and perform progress updates and variance analysis
