Integrated Master Scheduler

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms. Job Overview The Integrated Master Scheduler is responsible for the day-to-day development, maintenance, analysis, and publication of the shipyard's Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) across all active and planned vessels. The IMS provides the portfolio-level forecast for major vessel milestones, vessel sequencing, shared resources, production capacity, facility constraints, and conflicts across the orderbook. The Scheduling & Planning Manager retains overall accountability and approval authority for the portfolio schedule. Responsibilities Develop and maintain the Integrated Master Schedule covering all active and planned new-construction vessels at the Franklin, Louisiana shipyard location. Integrate major hull milestones from detailed vessel schedules into a consistent portfolio-level forecast. Maintain common WBS, activity coding, calendars, milestone definitions, data dates, and schedule interfaces across the portfolio. Ensure vessel schedules and the IMS reconcile each update-cycle and that hull- level milestone movement is visible in the site forecast. Model vessel sequencing through major production stages, facilities, and constrained resources. Maintain logic for shared facilities and resources such as jigs, cranes, paint areas, launch positions, test equipment, specialist labor, and other capacity-limited assets. 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. Support management decisions on production priorities, vessel sequencing, recovery strategies, and capacity requirements. Serve as day-to-day custodian of configuration, schedule logic, calendars, baselines, data dates, forecasting, and schedule calculations. 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 where applicable and 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. Allow valid logic and remaining duration to drive forecast dates rather than manually moving activities to preserve desired milestones. 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. Maintain the standard vessel schedule architecture, common milestone definitions, interface points, coding, and duration-history framework. Incorporate approved lessons learned from completed and repeat hulls into standard planning templates. 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 the detailed hull schedules. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field, or an 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-projec…
