- Working experience using Primavera P6 or similar software for scheduling and schedule analysis including Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, Schedule Risk Assessments (SRAs), and developing schedules that integrate within a program to produce roll-up views.
- Experience working with project managers and stakeholders across multiple organizations, analyzing schedules, and communicating status, drivers, and impacts.
- Experience with regulatory or permitting requirements in hazardous or highly regulated industries (e.g.: environmental permitting, DOE nuclear safety basis).
- Experience with Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) and integration with costing databases, or comparable industry standard systems.
- Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe tools, including creating, analyzing, and producing schedule reports.
Additional qualifications at the TSS.4 level- Advanced experience using Primavera P6 or similar software for scheduling and schedule analysis, including administration and security profiles, and demonstrated subject matter expertise in integrated master scheduling, cross-organizational schedule integration, and advanced Critical Path Method analysis.
- Demonstrated experience building clear, decision-oriented analytics and reporting (dashboards, metrics, scorecards, or executive summaries).
- Experience defining metrics/KPIs, performing variance and trend analysis, and developing alerts for early risk identification.
- Working knowledge of DOE nuclear safety basis implementation (e.g., Regulatory compliance, surveillances, configuration control) and high-hazard work planning and control processes, or equivalent experience in other regulated industries.
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe tools, and industry-standard dashboard and reporting platforms, such as APEX and Power BI.
Qualifications We Desire- Nuclear facility maintenance and/or operations experience, including Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) use and familiarity with high hazard work planning and control processes.
