ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Franciscon Consulting, Inc. is seeking an experienced Senior Construction Scheduler to join our team supporting the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Terminal Development & Improvement Program (TDIP) at LAX. This is a high-visibility, owner-representative role embedded in one of the largest active airport capital programs in the country — covering Airline Terminal Improvement, Airport Service Improvement, Terminal Development, and Asset Renewal projects.
You'll work alongside project managers, construction managers, and claims staff to develop and maintain complex multi-project schedules, perform forensic delay analyses, and help protect the owner's interests on $100M+ construction contracts.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop and maintain detailed construction planning schedules for new construction and renovation projects across the TDIP portfolio
- Review and independently analyze contractor- and designer-submitted schedules (baseline, preliminary, 4-week look-aheads, monthly updates, as-builts)
- Perform Time Impact Analyses (TIA) and forensic schedule analysis per AACE RP 29 to assess delay claims and owner liabilities
- Support change order negotiations and claims disputes — prepare findings and present to owner, legal, and third-party audiences
- Identify schedule risks, interdependencies, and interface issues across multiple concurrent projects
- Ensure all schedule submittals comply with LAWA code and activity code structures
- Develop KPIs and reporting materials that communicate complex sequencing to both technical and executive audiences
- Collaborate with the TDIP Program Scheduler and broader controls team
WHAT YOU BRING
- 10+ years of construction scheduling experience, with 5+ years supporting active, multi-project construction programs
- Direct forensic scheduling experience on projects of $200M+ value and 3+ years duration, specifically for delay claims and owner liability assessment
- Advanced proficiency in Oracle Primavera P6 (v6.0 or higher); experience with Schedule Analyzer, Claims Digger, and Microsoft Project is a plus
- Familiarity with multiple delivery methods: Design-Bid-Build, Design+CMAR, and Design/Build
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to present complex findings to non-expert audiences
- Experience representing owner interests (not just contractor-side scheduling)
- Prior experience on aviation, transportation, or large public infrastructure programs is highly desirable
EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field (required)
- Professional licensure or relevant certifications (PSP, PMI-SP, CCM, PE) strongly preferred
WHY JOIN FRANCISCON CONSULTING?
- Established team: Work alongside seasoned schedulers and project controls professionals who have successfully delivered major programs before.
- Competitive pay: Strong compensation package aligned with your experience supporting large scale public programs.
- Great benefits: 100% employee health insurance coverage plus 50% coverage for a spouse or dependent, along with dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
- Professional growth: Support for certifications such as PSP and PMI SP, plus exposure to some of the most complex programs in the western United States.
- High impact work: Your schedules directly influence decision making on a multi billion dollar airport transformation.
- Collaborative culture: A team built on mutual respect, open communication, and shared ownership where the work is taken seriously, but not ourselves.
