Ottawa is the base for this entry-level programming post at EllisDon. The title is Planning and Scheduling Coordinator and the hours are full time. Most of the work supports the planners.

Before a contract is won, the coordinator sits in on bid-stage planning and drafts the programme sections of proposal submissions. After award, help is given in putting together CPM baselines whose logic runs from start to finish.

Updates follow every fortnight or month, each judged against what has been built on site, with a written note on how healthy the programme looks and a running log of every revision. Two tasks matter to anyone in delay work.

Unplanned events, for instance a change or a ground condition nobody foresaw, are to be spotted and modelled in the programme, and the coordinator assists with as-planned versus as-built comparisons.





There is also a shared library to maintain covering:

- output rates
- supplier lead times
- recorded risks

Candidates need one to two years in construction programming, or training to a similar level, and should know P6 or MS Project. EllisDon also expects an understanding of how buildings go together, from frame and envelope through fit-out, services and commissioning, and of lump sum, design-build, CM and unit price procurement. Lean methods, Last Planner and Integrated Phased Planning should be familiar.

An AACE or PMI scheduling qualification such as PSP or PMI-SP would be an advantage.
