We are looking for Lead Project Schedulers to support our client, a major U.S. utility to help in delivering schedules for some of the largest and most complex capital projects in the electric sector. In this Scheduler role, you will contribute to maintaining the integrity and performance of project schedules across a multibillion‑dollar capital portfolio. You will collaborate closely with project directors, project managers, engineers, and project controls teams to develop, update, and monitor detailed schedules, forecasts, and progress metrics. Your work strengthens visibility, coordination, and on‑time delivery for a portfolio of 10–20 major electric infrastructure projects valued between $8–$10 billion.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain Primavera P6 schedules across a portfolio of transmission line, distribution line and substation projects using predefined templates (from initiation through closeout) aligned to scope, WBS, milestones, and regulatory/contract constraints; establish baseline and coding standards across the portfolio.
- Develop and maintain resource-loaded Primavera P6 schedules, ensuring labor, engineering, contractor, and key project resources are accurately planned and aligned with project milestones and portfolio priorities.
- Analyze resource demand, capacity constraints, and forecasted workloads across multiple projects to identify conflicts, optimize utilization, and support portfolio-level decision making.
- Perform routine project updates (weekly/biweekly/monthly), run CPM calculations, and conduct critical path, float, variance, and trend analyses; produce look‑ahead reports, and milestone tracking.
- Track schedule performance with earned value metrics (SPI/CPI) and contribute to recovery plans when milestones are at risk; publish portfolio and project control reports for leadership and clients.
- Identify schedule risks, run what‑if scenarios and propose mitigations; support change management processes and schedule QA/QC checks.
- Lead and participate in weekly schedule and resource review meetings with project teams, contractors, and stakeholders; communicate schedule conflicts, resource constraints, and recommended corrective actions clearly and promptly.
- Collaborate with procurement and legal teams to embed Project Controls processes into Requests for Proposal (RFPs) and contracts, ensuring alignment of scheduling, cost tracking, and reporting requirements from the outset
- Review and assess bidders’ proposals for adherence to Project Controls criteria—such as WBS/CBS alignment, schedule baselines, and change management protocols—and make recommendations based on compliance.
- Serve as the Project Controls liaison during contract award and execution phases, verifying that awarded contractors implement agreed Project Controls processes (schedule updates, EVM metrics, delay logs) and escalate any deviations for corrective action.
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree required, Masters degree preferred.
- 8+ years of work experience in Project Controls, Project Management, or Scheduling required.
- Proficiency in Primavera P6 required.
- Proficient in Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel-VLOOKUPs, pivot tables)

Project Scheduler Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project scheduler in Georgia?
Most project schedulers in Georgia enter the field with a bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or project management, then build proficiency in scheduling software like Primavera P6. Georgia does not issue a state-specific license for project schedulers, but earning the PMI Scheduling Professional or Planning and Scheduling Professional credential significantly strengthens candidacy. Many Georgia employers, particularly in construction and defense, treat these certifications as a practical requirement for mid-level and senior roles.
How much do project schedulers make in Georgia?
Project schedulers in Georgia earn a median of about $102,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,290 for the lowest 10% to over $163,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project schedulers in Georgia?
Employers hiring project schedulers in Georgia right now include Rinvio, Lightera, and Logic, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's concentration of large construction firms, defense contractors, and infrastructure developers means demand for experienced schedulers remains consistent across the Atlanta metro and coastal industrial markets.
Which Georgia cities have the most project scheduler jobs?
Atlanta, Duluth, and Tucker have the most project scheduler openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the bulk of demand through its dense construction pipeline, corporate headquarters, and transit expansion projects, while Savannah's port expansion and industrial growth and Augusta's presence of Fort Eisenhower and defense contractors create strong pockets of scheduling work outside the capital region.
Are there remote project scheduler jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since project schedulers often need to coordinate directly with site teams and attend project meetings. About 50% of project scheduler openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting a role that can shift toward remote work during planning phases. Schedule development and reporting tasks are the functions most likely to be performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a project scheduler in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a project coordinator or project controls assistant role, which large Georgia construction and engineering firms use as a starting point for candidates building scheduling experience. Companies like Jacobs and Fluor, which maintain significant Georgia operations, hire junior project controls staff who transition into scheduling roles. Earning a foundational PMI certification and demonstrating hands-on familiarity with Primavera P6 through coursework or an internship gives candidates a concrete edge over those relying on degree credentials alone.
Where can I find and apply to project scheduler jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to project scheduler jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Georgia employers. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
