Construction Scheduler - Memphis

Job description

SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates. ABOUT THE ROLE: Develop, maintain, and communicate construction schedules that the field, subcontractors, and leadership can actually use. You will build CPM baselines, update them from real progress, flag risk early, and explain schedule impact of changes, delays, and recovery plans. This is not a data-entry role. You need enough means-and-methods knowledge to challenge a sequence that will not work in the field. Superintendents run the work; project managers own cost and contracts; the scheduler is the person who can tell you what is actually driving the end date, what slips if a trade is late, and whether a recovery plan is real. RESPONSIBILITIES: Build baseline CPM schedules from drawings, specs, estimates, bid packages, and construction sequences (WBS, activity coding, logic, calendars, and constraints used sparingly and correctly). Maintain the live schedule: collect progress from superintendents, project managers, and trades; update percent complete, remaining duration, and logic; publish a clean current-period update on a set cadence (typically weekly look-aheads and monthly official updates). Own the critical path. Identify near-critical work, float erosion, and out-of-sequence progress. Tell the team why the end date moved, not just that it did. Produce three-week (or similar) look-aheads that match the master schedule and what the field can actually crew. Analyze schedule impact of RFIs, change orders, design late-outs, access constraints, long-lead procurement, weather, and labor shortages. Prepare time-impact analyses (TIA) and what-if, recovery, and acceleration scenarios. Coordinate with project managers, superintendents, estimators, procurement, design, owners/CMs, and subcontractors so the schedule reflects committed dates, not wishful ones. Resource-load and, where required, cost-load the schedule. Flag crew stacking, craft shortages, and unrealistic production rates. Prepare narratives, variance reports, S-curves, histograms, and executive summaries for internal r
