Remote Cpm Scheduler Jobs (NOW HIRING)

RK&K is seeking a Senior CPM Analyst to join our Construction Management team in support of CM, CEI, and Design-related programs.

In this role, you will work as an integral part of our internal Construction Management Office. You will interact regularly with internal staff, client project managers, contractors, and project stakeholders, providing critical analysis of incoming schedules and producing reports that monitor key performance objectives and overall contract performance across assigned capital improvement projects. This position is client-facing, with regular interaction primarily involving state Departments of Transportation and municipal clients. You should be comfortable leading meetings, presenting schedule updates, writing client-facing communications, and discussing schedule impacts directly with owners.
