Project Scheduler

A Project Scheduler coordinates the timelines and resources for projects to ensure they are completed on time and within budget. You might work in various industries such as construction, IT, or engineering. Project Schedulers develop detailed project plans, monitor progress, and adjust schedules as needed to meet project objectives. You’ll collaborate with project managers, team members, and stakeholders to ensure effective communication and coordination.

Project Schedulers play a crucial role in project success. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and highly organised, with strong analytical skills. You’ll liaise with multiple teams and manage competing priorities to ensure project milestones are met and potential delays are addressed promptly.
