Project Scheduler

Feyen Zylstra is a team of hardworking doers and thinkers proud to use our brains and brawn to solve the complex problems associated with the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical and low voltage systems. We tend to work in industries like healthcare, industrial manufacturing, commercial, and data centers where our customer benefit most from our technical expertise and the experience we provide them.

We exist to have a positive impact on the lives of people. This starts with our FZers and a commitment to providing safe and energizing work environments, opportunities to learn and grow, and great pay and benefits. It then moves to our customers and a passion for helping them solve their most challenging problems. When we are successful in meeting the needs of our employees and our customers, we have the opportunity to have a positive impact well beyond ourselves in each of the communities where we live and work.

FZ is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is focused on serving customers throughout Michigan, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.

FZ is looking for a Project Scheduler to join our Grand Rapids, MI team and sit directly onsite at one specific project.

Our Project Scheduler will regularly interact with FZ field staff, customer representatives, and other trades as they walk the job site and attend regular meetings.

What We’re Looking for:

• A Master Communicator. Whether it’s with a customer, coworker, or another trade, you value relationships through open lines of communication. In your interactions you seek to understand and find ways to communicate for all to understand, treating others with respect always. When problems arise, things get off track, or an emergency presents itself, you speak up early and collaborate to help get the job done.
• A Software Wiz. You live in the scheduling software, so knowing the in’s and out’s is easy. You have worked in a variety of systems so you know how to make the most out of the one at hand. You are comfortable sitting down and getting lost in the data but don’t forget to walk the site to confirm what you’re entering.
• A Leader. You take ownership of gathering and sharing information, understanding the importance of accurate updates since you’re directly contributing to the team's success that day and days to come. Others rely on you to do their job, and you take pride in knowing they can rely on you.
• An Executor. Your skills include prioritization, analysis, risk assessment, and multi-tasking. You recognize that being organized is essential to the efficiency culture of a jobsite.
• Detail Oriented. You understand the importance of the details and accuracy. No matter what the task, you ensure your work is professional and error-free and that a quality product always comes from your desk. Additionally, you realize that a deadline is a detail and that deadlines must be met.
