The posting
The Field Schedule Analyst serves as the Owner’s Representative responsible for independent, field-based verification of construction progress and alignment with the master schedule. This role is on site a minimum of three days per week, performing physical walkdowns, validating installed quantities, and engaging directly with the General Contractor and subcontractor field teams. The remaining time is dedicated to compiling verified quantities and preparing weekly progress data for the scheduling team. The Analyst confirms that reported actuals match physical work in place, identifies sequencing, access, and logistics risks to schedule adherence, and tracks constraints and missed commitments to resolution. The objective is to give the project team and the scheduling team a single, verified picture of progress.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Construction field experience with a working understanding of trade sequencing, means and methods, and installation rates
- Familiarity with CPM scheduling concepts and Primavera P6, with the ability to read and interpret schedule activities and look-aheads
- Proficiency with quantity tracking tools (Excel or equivalent) and the ability to maintain organized, auditable records
- Ability to perform physical progress verification in active construction environments and to be on site a minimum of three days per week
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to constructively question reported progress with subcontractor field leadership
- Ability to coordinate effectively with General Contractor superintendents, subcontractor foremen and project managers, and scheduling team members
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred, but not required with equivalent experience
Duties and Responsibilities:
Field Verification and Quantity Tracking
- Verify daily and weekly installed quantities and construction progress through physical walkdowns of active work areas
- Validate subcontractor-reported actuals against physical work in place, by system, area, and activity
- Maintain a running quantity tracking log by trade and work area that ties back to schedule activities and the project quantity basis
- Prepare daily field verification notes and photo documentation
Schedule Alignment
- Compare field progress against the master schedule, the current look-ahead, and upcoming commitments
- Challenge discrepancies between reported progress and actual field conditions, and escalate unresolved variances to the project team
- Identify sequencing conflicts, trade stacking, and access or logistics issues that threaten schedule adherence, and recommend corrective adjustments
- Identify opportunities to improve schedule adherence, including re-sequencing, resource reallocation, and work-front optimization
- Maintain a variance log of discrepancies between reported and verified progress, with resolution status
Subcontractor Coordination
- Coordinate with subcontractor foremen and superintendents to confirm planned versus completed work on a daily basis
- Identify missed commitments, constraints, and roadblocks (materials, manpower, access, RFIs, inspections) and track them to resolution
- Work with subcontractors to define realistic recovery plans and confirm that recovery commitments are reflected in the look-ahead
- Maintain a constraint and missed-commitment log with recovery actions and responsible parties
Progress Reporting
- Provide accurate, verified weekly progress data to the project scheduling team in the agreed format and cadence to support schedule updates
- Prepare a weekly verified installed-quantity and percent-complete report by trade and area
- Flag activities that are reported complete but not physically complete, or physically complete but not yet reported, prior to each update cycle
- Participate in weekly schedule review meetings and provide a field-based perspective on progress and forecast dates
- Report to the KALCON Project Controls / Scheduling Lead, with day-to-day direction from the client project team
