Airswift is looking for a Planner / Scheduler to support a major Industrial Construction project on a 1-year contract rotating to Anchorage, AK. Candidates must be based in Houston, TX! Schedule: 18 days on / 10 days off rotating. We are seeking an experienced Planner / Scheduler to support ongoing industrial construction projects. This role will play a critical part in developing and managing project execution plans, ensuring alignment between field activities, engineering deliverables, and overall project schedules. This is not a traditional scheduling role. The ideal candidate will bring a strong understanding of construction execution and sequencing, with the ability to build and validate schedules based on real world field conditions, not just software inputs.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and maintain detailed project schedules and execution plans for industrial construction projects
Translate engineering drawings, specifications, and scopes of work into logical, executable work sequences
Work closely with project management, engineering, and field teams to ensure alignment on scope, sequencing, and timelines
Collaborate with key stakeholders to define and validate the construction sequence and critical path of major project activities
Build schedules from first principles, including: identifying key activities, establishing dependencies and critical paths, and defining realistic durations based on field conditions
Support project planning efforts by evaluating: construction methodologies, resource requirements, and schedule risk and constraints
Monitor project progress against schedule and proactively identify: delays, risk items, and opportunities for optimization
Participate in planning sessions, lookaheads, and coordination meetings with internal and external stakeholders
Update schedules and reporting tools to reflect progress, changes, and forecasts
Provide input into schedule recovery plans and mitigation strategies when required
Requirements:
Minimum 6+ years of experience in planning, scheduling, or project controls within industrial construction or EPC environments
Demonstrated experience developing and managing schedules for field-driven construction projects
Strong understanding of construction sequencing
Work packaging
Field execution practices
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
Specifications
Construction scopes of work
Experience working directly with superintendents
Field crews
Engineers
Project managers
Hands-on experience building schedules from scratch, not just maintaining existing schedules
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Nice to have:
Targeting candidates with practical field experience, such as: Former Superintendents or Supervisors who transitioned into planning or scheduling
Project engineers or project controls professionals with significant field exposure
Individuals who have personally managed crews, scopes, or field execution activities
Candidates who understand how work is actually performed onsite
