Requirements

• Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship

• Familiarity in scheduling experience in Primavera P6
• Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Pro
• Experience working with project leads and major stakeholders on a wide range of projects that require input from multiple organizations
• Sufficient experience analyzing and managing schedules and effectively communicating to all levels of the project team and stakeholders
• Experience working independently, managing multiple competing priorities under pressure, and applying exceptional organizational skills to accomplish work
• Effective interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills necessary to effectively collaborate in a team environment
• Comprehensive experience developing project schedules that integrate within a program
• Proficient facilitation and leadership skills necessary to lead and facilitate multi-disciplinary teams of technical experts through planning and scheduling discussions, including conflict resolution skills necessary to resolve differing opinions, scheduling conflicts, and resource allocations
• Broad experience in lead creation and implementation of IMS schedule layouts and reports
• Comprehensive experience with Critical Path Management (CPM) scheduling and planning and performing Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs)

Responsibilities

• Work with the Integrated Master Schedule Team to develop, implement, and maintain an Integrated Master Plan (IMP), including an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), by applying the principles of project management to small/large, complex, or inter-related project schedules

• Ensure schedules include appropriate lead times and durations to maximize schedule compliance
• Assist the program and project managers with re-baselining requirement for projects in which major changes in milestone dates have occurred. Prior to re-baselining, the Scheduler will assist the program and project managers in “what-if” scenario analysis to rearrange sequences of work or schedule activity durations to mitigate a recovery plan and to prevent future re-baselining
• Run metrics with alerts that show activity slippage and aid program and project managers in decision making prior to project slippage
• Run schedule analysis to include metrics, critical path, float, and schedule variances
• Maintain schedules that include major milestones and deliverables from customers and vendors
• Perform other duties as assigned

• Coordinate with Integrated Project Teams to collect necessary project data to build the initial schedules
• Assist other schedulers to ensure a consistent application of the IMS Program across laboratory directorates
• Integrate project schedules to provide a roll up summarized report for program and project managers and leadership for each laboratory directorate
• Educate and assist program and project managers during the IMS process, virtually or in face-to-face meetings, develop analytical approaches and analysis of various scenarios such as “what-if” scenarios for projects which may be exposed to possible changes or delays and indicate the impact to a project’s schedule and completion date

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading, developing, and managing enterprise- and/or integrated schedules, applying the principles of project management to development of interrelated schedules
• Experience with implementing environmental regulations and permitting requirements for construction related projects
• Working knowledge of SQL queries to research, analyze, and extract data to create business reports
• PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) Certification

Benefits

• 401(k)
