When it comes to construction, we don’t just look at what’s in front of us. We’re creating for what’s next. We are looking for a driven and curious Forensic Scheduler in Toronto to support major Transit and Rail projects.

As a Forensic Scheduler within the delivery team, you will have a chance to contribute to the success of one of the largest programs in the world by providing forensic delay analysis of construction projects in dispute. We’ll ask you to present analysis and conclusions at the Executive level and be able to defend against the challenge. You’ll ensure that the scheduling team maintains alignment with client objectives and nurtures the relationship with the client while maintaining Jacobs’ standards.

By working with Project Schedulers, you’ll ensure that baseline contractor schedules accepted do not un-necessarily expose the client to future claims and support the client with forensic analysis of contractor schedules in the event of claim submissions.

You’ll also be involved in preparing delay analysis, critical path analysis, and other performance reports and present them to the project delivery team in their regular progress meetings making recommendations for corrective actions. You’ll be a key contributor to analyzing schedule progress and performance, identifying potential risks and issues, and identify challenges to the project schedule as well facilitate their resolution and assure consistency and quality is adhered to.

Bring your attention to detail and drive for success, and we’ll help you pursue your goals – so we can tackle challenging projects, together.
