About the Role

MWH is seeking a senior-level Forensic Scheduler to support complex water and wastewater construction projects across the U.S. This role is primarily remote, with approximately 40-50% travel to project sites, meetings, and dispute-related proceedings, as required.

The Forensic Scheduler will independently lead the analysis, development, and evaluation of detailed project schedules and delay analyses in support of potential and active construction claims and disputes. This role requires a strong command of CPM scheduling, forensic delay methodologies, and professional judgment developed through experience on large, complex construction projects.

The position partners closely with MWH's Legal, Risk Management, and Project teams to assess schedule impacts, support claims strategy, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including attorneys and executives.

  Support the development of expert reports, affidavits, and dispute documentation in coordination with internal and external legal teams.

  Participate in mediations, arbitrations, or depositions as a technical resource; support expert testimony and provide testimony when required and appropriate.
