Multiple openings exist for Integrated Master Schedulers to support the Strategic Deterrence (SD) Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) initiative. You will develop, implement, and maintain an Integrated Master Plan (IMP), including an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). Responsibilities include coordinating with Integrated Project Teams, ensuring schedules include appropriate lead times, educating program and project managers, and performing complex schedule analysis. The position may offer a remote or hybrid schedule. The salary range is $148,920 - $226,668 annually, depending on experience and level.

Requirements

• Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Project Management, Construction Management or the equivalent combination of education and related technical experience
• Moderate scheduling experience in Primavera P6
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe to create, analyze, and produce IMS reports
• Experience working with project leads and major stakeholders on a wide range of projects that require input from multiple organizations
• Experience developing project schedules that integrate within a program
• Experience with Critical Path Management (CPM) scheduling and planning and performing Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs)
• Experience analyzing and managing a project or program schedule and effectively communicating to all levels of the project team and stakeholders
• Significant experience working independently, manage multiple competing priorities under pressure, and apply exceptional organizational skills to accomplish work
• Expert interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills necessary to effectively collaborate in a team environment
• Excellent 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
• Lead creation and implementation of IMS schedule layouts and reports

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
• Provide support to the Integrated Master Schedule team to satisfy requirements of the IMS Program using scheduling products such as Oracle’s Primavera P6 to complete the required IMS scheduling services and to develop templates, fragnets, schedule baselines, update schedules, analyze schedules, and generate IMS reports
• Coordinate with Integrated Project Teams to collect necessary project data to build the initial schedules
• Ensure schedules include appropriate lead times and durations to maximize schedule compliance
• 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
• 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
• Develop metrics with alerts that show activity slippage and aid program and project managers in decision making prior to project slippage
• Integrate existing project schedules to provide a roll up summarized report for program and project managers and leadership for each laboratory directorate
• Perform a complex schedule analysis to include metrics, critical path, float, and schedule variances
• Build and maintain a program-level IMS which includes major milestones and deliverables from internal customers and vendors
• Perform other duties as assigned
• Lead the implementation of scheduling functions to reflect management priorities
• Guide other schedulers to ensure a consistent application of the IMS Program across laboratory directorates
• Serve as the IMS Manager and/or Project Manager including supervisory responsibilities and other duties as assigned

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced experience leading, developing, and managing enterprise- and/or integrated schedules, applying the principles of project management to development of a large, complex, inter-related schedule
• 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
• Working knowledge of nuclear and high hazard facilities regulations and requirements
