About the role

  • Own and maintain an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) as the authoritative schedule for complex, cross‑functional programs
  • Develop and sustain a comprehensive IMS covering all major phases of program execution
  • Translate high‑level milestones into detailed, logic‑driven activity networks with clear critical path visibility
  • Establish and manage schedule baselines and control updates through formal change management practices
  • Support multiple programs through scalable, consistent scheduling methodologies
  • Analyze and report schedule performance against approved baselines on a regular cadence
  • Identify schedule variances, key drivers, and recovery recommendations
  • Maintain near‑term look‑ahead schedules to support execution planning and coordination
  • Produce recurring schedule status and performance reports highlighting milestone progress, critical path insights, risks, and trends
  • Create concise, executive‑level schedule visuals to support leadership briefings
  • Provide schedule inputs to support program reviews and informed decision‑making
  • Serve as the primary scheduling point of contact for cross‑functional teams across geographically distributed environments
  • Drive regular schedule status collection and integrate updates into the master schedule with consistent logic and data discipline
  • Build trusted working relationships and influence stakeholders through data‑driven insights and credibility
  • Support program sessions and milestone reviews with schedule analysis and critical path insight
  • Define and document enterprise scheduling standards and best practices
  • Select, administer, and optimize enterprise scheduling tools in coordination with key stakeholders
  • Develop practical schedule input templates and guidance to enable efficient updates from technical teams
  • Maintain scheduling documentation and reference materials to support long‑term program consistency

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Systems, Business, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience)

  • Demonstrated experience building an IMS from scratch on a program with distributed, multi-site teams across engineering disciplines
  • Expert proficiency in Microsoft Project Pro and/or Primavera P6; able to build and maintain networks of 1,000+ activities with full logic and resource loading
  • Deep understanding of critical path method (CPM), schedule float analysis, and risk-driven schedule analysis techniques
  • Experience computing and reporting SPI and schedule variance against a snapped baseline; working understanding of EVMS principles even if full EVM was not implemented
  • Proven ability to extract accurate schedule data from distributed engineering teams and hold leads accountable to weekly reporting without direct management authority
  • Experience supporting formal program reviews (CDR, PDR, MRR, or equivalent) with IMS-derived schedule artifacts
  • Ability to communicate schedule risk to executive leadership in clear, non-jargon terms; comfortable presenting to a CEO or board-level audience.
