- Apply Critical Path Methodology (CPM), perform schedule integrity checks, and maintain logical network relationships.
- Integrate schedules with cost and risk systems to support full cost-schedule integration and, when required, Earned Value Management (EVM).
- Establish and maintain schedule baselines; support baseline change management and Integrated Baseline Reviews (IBRs).
- Perform schedule performance analysis, including variance analysis, float analysis, critical path identification, metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and trend assessments.
- Support Estimate to Complete (ETC), Estimate at Completion (EAC), and forecasting processes in partnership with the Program Controls Analyst.
- Tailor scheduling and planning approaches to suit program type-ranging from highly regulated government programs to agile commercial efforts.
- Support proposal activities by developing proposal-level schedules aligned with technical and cost strategies.
- Collaborate daily with Program Managers, CAMs, engineers, contracts, procurement, finance, quality, and other functions to ensure integrated execution.
- Present schedule performance data and recommendations to leadership, customer stakeholders, and functional teams.
- Contribute to process improvement initiatives and support tool integrations across cost, schedule, and risk and change management systems.
Required Qualifications: - Three (3+) or more years of experience in project scheduling or program planning within aerospace, defense, or other technically complex environments, supporting diverse program types.
- Bachelor's degree in Program Management, Engineering, Construction Management, Business Administration, Finance, or related field.
- Extensive experience developing and maintaining logic-driven network schedules for complex programs.
- Deep knowledge of Critical Path Methodology (CPM), float analysis, and schedule risk assessment.
- Experience with schedule baseline development and change control processes.
- Familiarity with Earned Value Management (EVM) principles and schedule integration techniques.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Project (enterprise scheduling tool) and Microsoft Office applications.
- Strong written, visual, and verbal communication skills, including experience briefing program leadership.
- Ability to work across multiple programs with varying contract types, lifecycle phases, and reporting requirements.
Preferred Qualifications: - Experience supporting DoD, NASA, or government aerospace programs with full EVM and IBR participation.
- Experience integrating MS Project with cost and performance tools (e.g., Cobra, wInsight, EVMS for Project, or internal dashboards).
- Experience tailoring scheduling practices for commercial programs and agile development environments.
