Candidates with Primavera skills and construction management backgrounds tend to stand out. The demand is influenced by ongoing infrastructure projects, so local experience and flexibility can boost your chances.
While a bachelor’s in construction or civil engineering is standard, certifications like Primavera P6 training or OSHA safety courses increase employability locally.

A Construction Scheduler typically crafts and updates project timelines, troubleshoots scheduling conflicts, and coordinates with procurement and operations teams. The role demands strong data analysis, proficiency in scheduling software, and regular site visits to align progress with planned milestones.
