BEDC seeks to hire an Administrative Project Manager M2 to serve as a Schedule Controls Manager for the PMO Division at our headquarters in Queens, NY.

Construction schedulers are a specialized discipline of Project Controls that coordinate with project management to define, control, and analyze the means and methods of construction and performance during construction.

They assist in planning, scheduling work and providing time estimates through various calculation methods. They analyze performance of stakeholders and impacts of change.

They coordinate with project teams, contractors and upper management on the health of projects, projected completion and coordination points in a project.

Under general direction of the Director of the PMO, and with wide latitude for independent initiative and judgment, the selected candidate will be responsible for project management work involving the planning, coordination, and direction of the implementation of the design and construction of capital projects.

The Schedule Controls Manager will oversee the maintenance of a management information system that provides data for planning and controlling project development.

They will oversee the establishment of project time and cost schedules; determine and coordinate the activities required among the individuals, agencies, and departments responsible for project completion; and review all schedules, reports, and orders prepared by consultants, contractors, and agencies to ensure conformance with project completion dates.

They will also monitor work performance and prepare management reports highlighting significant issues; resolve problems that arise in meeting schedules and costs; meet with City agencies, contractors, and citizen groups; and advise client agencies by making recommendations in formulating project needs, options, and consequences, ensuring that functional requirements are fully articulated and that proposed projects meet those requirements.

The Schedule Controls Manager will assist client agencies in developing project scopes, drawing upon the Agency’s technical resources to develop conceptual schedules; oversee the consultant selection and contracting process and manage these contracts, or retain in-house design and construction management staff with the client agency; and conduct a post–substantial completion performance evaluation of the project.
