Job description

We have an opening for a Senior Primavera P6 Scheduler to support the Strategic Deterrence (SD) Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) initiative within nuclear and high hazard facilities. With minimal direction, you will independently perform scheduling and schedule analytics functions for complex, integrated project work that reflect project manager priorities, including integrating multiple projects with competing resource requirements. You will support moderate-sized program scheduling assignments, monitor progress toward milestones and key events, and develop reports, tools, and metrics to enable proactive decision-making. This position supports the SD Integrated Master Scheduling Program within the Strategic Deterrence Directorate. This position offers a full-time off-site work schedule. You will collaborate and contribute through virtual interactions. Occasional on-site presence to meet business needs may be required.

Working experience using Primavera P6 or similar software for scheduling and schedule analysis including Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs), and developing schedules that integrate within a program to produce roll-up views. Experience working with project managers and stakeholders across multiple organizations, analyzing schedules, and communicating status, drivers, and impacts. Experience with regulatory or permitting requirements in hazardous or highly regulated industries (e.g.: environmental permitting, DOE nuclear safety basis). Experience with Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) and integration with costing databases, or comparable industry standard systems. Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe tools, including creating, analyzing, and producing schedule reports. Additional qualifications at the TSS.4 level Advanced experience using Primavera P6 or similar software for scheduling and schedule analysis, including administration and security profiles, and demonstrated subject matter expertise in integrated master scheduling, cross-organizational schedule integration, and advanced Critical Path Method analysis.
