The Opportunity
The Master Scheduler will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing project schedules to ensure the timely delivery of projects. This role requires a strong understanding of scheduling tools, project management principles, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams. The Master Scheduler will play a critical role in aligning project timelines with strategic objectives and resource availability.
Responsibilities:
Develop, baseline, and maintain program and portfolio-level Integrated Master Schedules that reflect acquisition milestones, documentation required for milestone decision reviews, vendor contractual deliverables, hardware production, and Force Protection systems integration.
• Integrate lower-tier schedules from vendors, integrators, Integrated Product Teams, and government activities into a single networked Integrated Master Schedule with horizontal and vertical traceability. • Map multi-tier production and delivery schedules so that slips at any tier are visible against downstream integration. • Forecast production shortfalls and quantify schedule impact to subsequent vendors and to Force Protection systems integration, including “what-if” and recovery scenarios. • Identify, track, and status defense acquisition events and documentation (for example, milestone decision reviews, entrance and exit criteria, and supporting artifacts) so review readiness is visible in the Integrated Master Schedule. • Perform critical path, driving path, float, and predecessor/successor analysis; identify schedule conflicts, logic gaps, and constraint issues; recommend corrective action. • Conduct schedule health assessments consistent with industry and Department of Defense practice (for example, Defense Contract Management Agency 14-point assessment, National Defense Industrial Association Planning and Scheduling Excellence Guide, Government Accountability Office Schedule Assessment Guide) and drive remediation with activity owners. • Collect status from program teams and vendors on an established business rhythm; update the Integrated Master Schedule; and produce variance, milestone, and forecast reports. • Prepare briefings, dashboards, and recommendations for program leadership and government stakeholders; support Integrated Product Teams, program reviews, and milestone-related events. • Coordinate across engineering, production, purchasing/contracts, logistics, and project management to align demand, resources, and delivery commitments. • Maintain configuration control of the schedule baseline and document approved changes.
Qualifications:
• Active Secret security clearance. • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field is ideal. • 5+ years of relevant scheduling, project controls, or program management experience supporting complex programs, preferably in a Department of Defense, defense industry, or mission-critical environment. • Demonstrated ability to develop, manage, and maintain Integrated Master Schedules for multi-program or multi-vendor efforts. • Experience integrating supplier / Original Equipment Manufacturer or production schedules into a program-level Integrated Master Schedule and analyzing downstream impacts. • Strong analytical skills, including critical path analysis, schedule variance analysis, and identification of schedule risk. • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate schedule status, risks, and recommendations to senior leadership and government stakeholders. • Proficiency in Microsoft Project and Microsoft Office (especially Microsoft Excel).
Desired:
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. • Strong communication and interpersonal skills. • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.
