Project Scheduler/Coordinator
Progress Rail Services Corporation, a Caterpillar Company 4.7
Progress Rail Services Corporation, a Caterpillar Company job in La Grange, IL
The Project Scheduler/Coordinator role offers a unique opportunity to support locomotive design and build projects within the Project Management Office. While the title emphasizes scheduling, the position is intentionally designed to be adaptable-shaped by the evolving needs of the project and team. This includes contributing to a broader definition of Project Controls, encompassing not just scheduling but also cost tracking, risk management, and incremental work documentation. As the scheduling function continues to evolve, flexibility in responsibilities will be key.
Initially, the focus will be on managing incrementals-additional work that arises during a project and must be documented for customer reimbursement. As the role develops, it will naturally shift toward more traditional scheduling responsibilities, with room to contribute to broader planning and project controls.
This position works closely with the Project Manager to help keep things moving smoothly. It's ideal for someone who enjoys being a connector across teams, solving small problems before they grow, and supporting progress in a dynamic environment. We're committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance and believe that flexibility in responsibilities can support both professional growth and sustainability.
