Modeling parallel workstreams for sheet metal, plumbing, and equipment installation while respecting union jurisdictional boundaries
Integrating procurement timelines for specialty valves, chillers, and other equipment into the P6 schedule
Integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows as well as prefabrication processes into the P6 schedule

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
VDC Managers to align required BIM work on projects
Prefabrication shops to synchronize ductwork/piping/module production with field needs and delivery requirements
Union dispatchers to forecast pipefitter/plumber/sheet metal manpower requirements
Develop training modules for superintendents on schedule compliance
Requirements:

Minimum of at least 7+ years responsible for scheduling mechanical scopes of work (HVAC, Piping, Plumbing) for a U.S. based mechanical contracting company, and for projects exceeding $10 million in value
