Join a highly respected engineering firm with deep roots in power generation and heavy industrial project delivery. From natural gas and oil-fired energy facilities to steam and power systems, pulp and paper, and chemical/pharmaceutical process plants-this is your chance to support complex, impactful projects through precise scheduling and project controls expertise.

• Lead weekly updates and monthly project schedule review meetings
• Support BI and productivity tracking to inform schedule durations
• Contribute to proposal and study schedule development
• Prepare earned value, manpower, and installation progress reports
• Perform delay analysis and recovery planning
• Use Acumen Fuse, Power BI, and SQL for schedule analytics and reporting

About the Company:
Headquartered in the Atlanta area with origins in Chattanooga, TN, this engineering firm specializes in power generation and energy infrastructure projects across the Southeast and beyond. They also serve clients in the pulp and paper, chemical process, and pharmaceutical industries. Although the company offers construction planning, they subcontract actual construction work-allowing their team to focus on engineering excellence and schedule integrity.
This is a growth-minded, mid-sized firm that values technical precision, proactive communication, and steady career development. Ideal for professionals seeking stability, impact, and ownership-not career job hoppers or late-career candidates.

Compensation & Schedule:
