Oklo is seeking a Project Scheduler to join capital project teams delivering advanced fission power plants and clean energy infrastructure. This role will develop, maintain, and analyze integrated project schedules across engineering, licensing, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning phases.
You will partner closely with the Project Manager, Project Controller, Project Sponsor, functional leads, and external vendors (including EPCs) to establish executable plans, identify critical and near-critical paths, evaluate schedule impacts, and support recovery decisions. Key responsibilities include:
• Developing and maintaining logic-driven integrated project schedules with activities, durations, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, planning packages, and milestones; supporting baseline establishment and controlled re-baselining.
• Leading regular schedule status cycles with project teams and external contributors, incorporating actual progress and forecast updates while validating logic, durations, and projected dates.
• Analyzing critical and near-critical paths, total and free float, schedule sensitivity, and emerging risks to distinguish true completion drivers from secondary delays.
• Developing what-if analyses, recovery plans, acceleration options, and schedule compression scenarios with quantified milestone and critical-path implications.
• Coordinating schedule interfaces across engineering, licensing, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, vendors, and external stakeholders; facilitating planning workshops and schedule reviews.
• Partnering with Project Controls and Finance to align schedule progress, forecast dates, cost forecasts, cash flow, and project performance reporting.
• Producing milestone reports, look-ahead plans, schedule narratives, dashboards, and executive-ready insights that clearly communicate schedule variance, drivers, risks, and recovery opportunities.
• Performing routine health checks and data validation, resolving missing or unrealistic information, and maintaining compliance with Oklo scheduling standards and change-control processes.
The role reports to the Sr. Director of Project Budgeting and Controls with day-to-day integration within assigned project teams. You will be embedded within project teams while maintaining objective schedule integrity, building strong partnerships with technical teams, and holding contributors accountable for timely, high-quality information.
Oklo is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale, establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes, and advancing nuclear fuel recycling. The company was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
