Lead Scheduler, Transit/Rail
We are seeking an experienced Lead Scheduler, Transit/Rail to oversee the development, integration and maintenance of complex project schedules across transit, rail and associated infrastructure programmes. This role will provide scheduling leadership throughout the project lifecycle, supporting planning, design, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning and closeout activities. You will work closely with project managers, engineers, contractors, consultants and client representatives to establish realistic, integrated and deliverable programmes.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining baseline, master and detailed schedules; coordinating inputs from multiple disciplines and delivery partners; establishing activity logic, durations, milestones, calendars and resource requirements; and monitoring progress against approved plans. You will analyse schedule performance, identify critical and near-critical paths, assess risks, evaluate delays and prepare clear recommendations for recovery or mitigation. The role will also involve reviewing contractor schedules, validating reported progress, supporting change management, preparing schedule narratives and producing accurate dashboards and reports for senior stakeholders. You will promote consistent scheduling practices, maintain effective programme controls and mentor junior planners and schedulers.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in project controls or planning within transit, rail, civil infrastructure, transportation or a similarly complex capital-project environment. Strong knowledge of scheduling principles, critical path methodology, progress measurement, earned value concepts, change control and delay analysis is required. Experience with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or comparable scheduling software, along with advanced spreadsheet and reporting skills, is expected. You will be a confident communicator with excellent analytical, organisational and stakeholder-management abilities, capable of managing competing priorities and working effectively in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary setting. A degree, diploma or equivalent professional experience in engineering, construction management, project management or a related field is preferred. Familiarity with rail systems, stations, trackwork, signalling, utilities, civil works or transit operations will be considered an asset.
