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.
