  • Critical Path & Risk Analysis: Conduct critical path analysis and perform Monte Carlo Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) to provide accurate predictive forecasting.
  • Implement Standards: Ensure compliance with the "Gold Standard" for schedule health (DCMA 14-Point or equivalent) and implement the Baseline Change Request (BCR) process.
  • Support Performance Analysis: Maintain status of resource loaded IMS to support cost and schedule performance using Earned Value Management (EVM) principles.
  • Technical Mastery: Support "What-if" modeling and delay analysis to Program Managers, transforming data into actionable strategy.

Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years in Project Controls, Program Management, or Scheduling.
  • Mastery of Critical Path Method (CPM) logic and experience managing complex Integrated Master Schedules ($50M+ portfolio size).
  • Bachelor's Degree in Business, Management, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
