Senior Project Controls Engineer - Scheduler

Job Description

About Stelic

Stelic is a project controls & construction mgmt. firm helping clients deliver complex projects with confidence. We don’t just track progress; We drive it. From early planning through turnover, our team embeds with owners, design teams & contractors to lead the work that keeps schedules moving, risks contained, & budgets aligned with reality.

We specialize in schedule management, project controls, and dispute resolution, bringing structure and clarity to fast-moving environments. Whether launching new programs or steering critical efforts midstream, we focus on outcomes that matter: faster delivery, fewer surprises, and real-time insight. Our team thrives on solving hard problems, staying close to the work, and making an outsized impact at every stage of delivery.

We are hiring a Senior Project Controls Engineer - Scheduler to support on-site efforts in Ft. Wayne, IN

Role Summary

Stelic is seeking a highly skilled Senior Project Controls Engineer - Scheduler to lead schedule development and execution on a mission-critical data center project in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for professionals who thrive on precision, field coordination, and direct ownership of the schedule.

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll take ownership of a complex Primavera P6 schedule with over 2,500 activities, supporting one of the nation’s most technical and time-sensitive builds. This is a field-facing role where you’ll work directly with superintendents, engineers, and executives, earning recognition through results, not time at a desk. You won’t be micromanaged, but you will be accountable. If you’ve worked in environments where the schedule is disconnected from the work or treated more as a formality than a tool, this will be different. Here, the schedule is a driver of action and decision-making, not just a report.

What We Offer

• $130K–$160K base salary + 5–10% annual bonus potential
• Relocation and demobilization support funding
• Direct line to leadership and a path to lead future data center programs

What You’ll Do

• Build/manage fully logic-tied Primavera P6  baseline schedule, 2,500+ activities using CPM best practice
• Conduct weekly schedule updates through site walks and trade coordination
• Use P6 layouts to:
• Track critical path and near-critical risks
• Filter by trade, zone, or timeframe
• Generate field-friendly, leadership-ready reports
• Maintain resource-loaded schedules for cost and earned value tracking
• Perform Time Impact Analysis (TIA) using baseline and live schedule data
• Deliver monthly schedule package: .xer files, critical path snapshot, 6-week lookaheads & written narrative

What You Bring

• 5+ years in commercial construction scheduling or project controls
• Expert-level skills in Primavera P6 and Excel
• You know how a job actually gets built, and how to reflect that in logic
• Strong communication: You can brief superintendents or a VP with equal clarity
• Experience mentoring junior team members is a plus, but not required

Final Word

This isn’t a back-office scheduling role. You’re embedded with the team, solving real problems in real time. If you want to lead from the field, shape outcomes & be part of a tight, capable project controls group, this is your role.
