I have been doing piping design/drafting for 4 years now
Four years is a very short time to be in the business. Have you already decided that you do not like piping? I hope you know there is a lot more to "Piping" than being a CAD jockey.

I have recently started looking at planner/scheduler jobs.
Why? Do you know someone in that group who is prompting you to make a switch?

I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on what all a planner/scheduler does
For this you need to (1) ask your supervisor for permission to talk to the Manager of the Planning & Scheduling (P/S) Group and (2) talk to only the Manager to find out what you want to know.

whats the stress level of their jobs?
Ask the P/S Manager.

Do they mainly just put together cost reports and go to the field to make sure everyone is lined up on what they need to be doing?
Ask the P/S Manager.

If someone has an overview of what they do I would like to know.
Ask the P/S Manager of your company. Each company would be different.

Also would it be easy for me to get into one of these positions?
Ask the P/S Manager.
