Parker Huggett Limited
Scheduler, ICI Construction – Permanent – 3157 Ottawa, ON
About the Opportunity
You are a planner who understands that great schedules don’t live in spreadsheets, they live on site. You take pride in sequencing work that makes sense, supports safety and quality, and enables teams to execute with confidence.
Our client is a leading General Contractor delivering complex, high profile industrial, and commercial across Eastern Canada. With a strong pipeline of recently awarded work and more on the horizon, they are investing intentionally in planning excellence, and that’s where you come in.
This is not a supporting act, but a critical role central to the success of how projects are planned, coordinated, and delivered from the ground up.
As the first dedicated Scheduler within the organization, you will play a pivotal role across projects and regions in:
- Building and managing master schedules for complex ICI projects using Primavera P6
- Working shoulder to shoulder with construction, operations, and project leadership to ensure schedules are realistic, executable, and respected
- Translating high level planning into clear trade sequencing that works in the real world
- Supporting teams through schedule updates, progress tracking, and risk mitigation through to project completion
- Helping evolve best practices in planning and scheduling as a shared function across the business
About You
The successful candidate will have the following:
- Are a self starter who takes ownership and thrives in environments where you can build something meaningful
- Have demonstrable experience working with a General Contractor on comparable industrial and commercial projects
- Are energized by complex, challenging builds and enjoy solving planning puzzles before they become site problems
- Bring a strong baseline understanding of how complex projects get built, and how to sequence trades effectively (or know how to confidently source, vet, and validate that information when needed)
- Have hands on experience using Primavera P6 to build, manage, and maintain project schedules
- Collaborate naturally with project managers, site teams, consultants, and trade partners
- Believe deeply in accountability, ensuring that schedules, safety, and quality never take a back seat to convenience
- Have a natural ability to build trust and strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- Are curious by nature, finding genuine enjoyment in learning new methodologies and evolving your approach to construction planning
- Are growth minded, motivated by developing both your own skill set and the teams around you in pursuit of shared success
About the Job
You’ll be supported by senior leaders who already understand the value of strong planning, are schedule savvy themselves, and are genuinely invested in growing this function properly.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out?
- An established, respected contractor that is getting busier, with a strong list of recent project wins and more coming
- A culture driven organization that takes developing its people just as seriously as delivering for its partners
- Enjoy meaningful perks such as flexible working arrangements, team lunches, professional development support, and more
- A rare opportunity to own and shape the scheduling function within a growing business, your impact will be visible, valued, and lasting
- This role is what you make it! Clear runway for career progression, personal development, and influence as the organization continues to scale its planning capabilities
- Salary ranging from $120,000 to $150,000+
