Luster National, Inc.
Project Scheduler Washington DC
Luster National, Inc., Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022
Overview
We’re seeking Project Schedulers at various levels for large, heavy-civil infrastructure programs—including highways, roads, bridges, transit (including rail and bus), and airport projects delivered through both traditional and alternative methods. You’ll craft logic-driven CPM schedules, fold in procurement and third-party dependencies, and convert field data into clear progress updates and forecasts. By surfacing critical-path risks early, shaping recovery strategies, and keeping stakeholders aligned, you’ll help every project advance safely, efficiently, and on time. Notes
This posting is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need. This posting targets the greater Washington DC Metro Area. Responsibilities
Build and maintain an integrated CPM schedule that covers design through turnover, with logically linked activities, resource or cost loading, and clear coding for cost-control alignment. Collect field progress data, update status weekly or monthly, and produce look-aheads, variance reports, and earned-value forecasts. Run critical path and what-if analyses to test sequencing options, recovery plans, and alternative delivery scenarios. Perform schedule-risk assessments—identify drivers, quantify exposure with tools such as Monte Carlo simulations, recommend contingencies, and track mitigation actions. Support change orders and claims by preparing Time Impact Analyses that tie delays to cost and contractual entitlement. Integrate third-party interfaces, permitting, utility relocations, and long-lead procurement items, so the plan reflects all external dependencies. Generate concise narrative reports, Gantt charts, S-curves, and KPI dashboards for project managers, field teams, and executive stakeholders. Enforce schedule governance standards, maintain data integrity in scheduling tools, and mentor junior schedulers to raise overall planning maturity. Attributes
Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills. Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships. Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a passion for continuous improvement. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience. 5+ years of hands-on scheduling experience for heavy-civil infrastructure projects. Experience with full CPM baseline schedule development, resource or cost loading, and progress updating. Proven ability to interpret design drawings, specifications, BIM models, and work-breakdown structures and translate them into logically sequenced activities. Experience conducting critical path and variance analyses, preparing Time Impact Analyses, and quantifying schedule risk using Monte Carlo or similar methods. Proficiency with industry standard project and construction management software (e.g., Primavera P6, TILOS, MS Project, Bluebeam, RSMeans). Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Preferred Qualifications
Active professional certifications such as PSP (AACE), PMI-SP or PMP (PMI), and/or CCM (CMAA). Experience with large (> $500M) heavy-civil infrastructure projects including highways, bridges, transit, and airports. Experience delivering projects through traditional and alternative methods (e.g., DB, CM/GC, P3). Experience defending Time Impact Analyses, delay claims, and recovery plans before owners, contractors, and dispute-resolution boards. Experience advanced schedule-risk analyses (Monte Carlo, P-Factor, P50/P80 forecasting). Proficiency in schedule risk tools (Primavera Risk, Deltek Acumen Fuse, @Risk). Proficiency with Power BI, Tableau, or similar for interactive dashboards and KPI visuals. Compensation
The salary range listed for this role is $120k-$190k/year ($57-$91/hour). Final salary offered will be based on experience, skills, education, certifications/licenses, and other relevant factors. Benefits
Unlimited flexible time off Paid holidays Paid parental leave Health, dental, and vision insurance Flexible spending accounts for healthcare and dependent/elder care Long-term and short-term disability insurance Life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment 401(k) plan with employer contribution Career planning and development program $2,500 annually toward professional development Wellness program with monthly stipend Company cell phone or plan reimbursement Additional financial and lifestyle support benefits as described in offer Equal Employment Opportunity
