Job description

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-project integration and resource- and/or cost-loaded schedules.
• Strong command of critical path method (CPM) scheduling, earned value concepts, and schedule performance metrics (SV, SPI).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, for reporting and data analysis.
• Experience maintaining an integrated master schedule across multiple concurrent new construction vessels or similarly complex programs.
• Familiarity with capacity planning, facility/berth constraints, and shared-resource management across a portfolio.
• PMI-SP, AACE PSP, or similar scheduling/project controls certification.

Physical Demands

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
• Occasional standing and walking within the office
• Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
• Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
• Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
• Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)

• Life and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
• Pet Insurance: Discounted pet insurance options including 24/7 Telehealth helpline
