Saronic Technologies, a leader in autonomous maritime systems for defense applications, is seeking an Integrated Master Scheduler to manage the day-to-day development, maintenance, analysis, and publication of the shipyard's Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) at the Franklin, Louisiana facility.
You will own the portfolio-level forecast across all active and planned new-construction vessels, providing visibility into major vessel milestones, vessel sequencing, shared resources, production capacity, facility constraints, and conflicts across the orderbook. Working under the oversight of the Scheduling & Planning Manager, you will serve as the day-to-day custodian of schedule configuration, logic, calendars, baselines, data dates, and forecasting.
Key responsibilities include:
• Develop and maintain the IMS covering all active and planned vessels, integrating major hull milestones from detailed vessel schedules into a consistent portfolio-level forecast.
• Maintain common Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), activity coding, calendars, milestone definitions, and schedule interfaces across the portfolio.
• Ensure vessel schedules and the IMS reconcile each update cycle, with hull-level milestone movement visible in the site forecast.
• Model vessel sequencing through major production stages, facilities, and constrained resources (jigs, cranes, paint areas, launch positions, test equipment, specialist labor).
• Identify conflicts between vessels, trade stacking, workspace congestion, resource contention, and unachievable capacity assumptions.
• Evaluate portfolio scenarios and what-if alternatives for vessel starts, phase transitions, facility occupancy, and resource allocation.
• Perform portfolio-level critical and near-critical path analysis, float review, milestone variance analysis, and schedule performance trending.
• Execute schedule variance and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) analysis; develop milestone bar charts, S-curves, progress curves, and exception reports.
• Review open ends, invalid logic, negative float, excessive float, lags, constraints, out-of-sequence progress, and calendar assignments each update cycle.
• Develop weekly and monthly portfolio schedule reports, milestone dashboards, critical-path summaries, executive summaries, and recovery-option analyses.
• Present schedule exceptions requiring priorities, resources, or management decisions.
• Maintain schedule change, delay/risk, decision/action, and milestone-variance records in accordance with established controls.
• Support development of historical schedule and productivity data for future estimating, capacity planning, and production forecasting.
• Partner with Vessel Planners to improve forecast quality without taking ownership away from detailed hull schedules.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 5–8+ years of planning/scheduling or project controls experience, including integrated or master schedule ownership, preferably in shipbuilding, marine, or complex fabrication environments.
• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6 or similar scheduling software, including multi-project integration and resource- and/or cost-loaded schedules.
• Strong command of critical path method (CPM) scheduling, earned value concepts, and schedule performance metrics (SV, SPI).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, for reporting and data analysis.
• Experience maintaining an integrated master schedule across multiple concurrent new-construction vessels or similarly complex programs.
• Familiarity with capacity planning, facility/berth constraints, and shared-resource management across a portfolio.
• PMI-SP, AACE PSP, or similar scheduling/project controls certification preferred.
