Drive the Plan. Coordinate the Work. Keep Projects Moving Forward.

The best Schedulers do more than build timelines. They create visibility, align resources, identify risks before they impact execution, and help ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

At RK Industries, you'll play a critical role in supporting engineering, fabrication, and construction operations across a diverse portfolio of projects. Working closely with Project Managers, CAD teams, fabrication shops, field operations, procurement teams, and customers, you'll develop and maintain schedules that drive decision-making and keep projects aligned with key milestones and deliverables.

You'll help balance manpower forecasting, fabrication flow, procurement activities, and construction sequencing while providing project teams with the information they need to manage risk and optimize performance.

This is an opportunity to develop advanced scheduling expertise while making a direct impact on project success across some of the industry's most complex and challenging projects.
