Job description

ARA’s team solves problems related to national defense and security. We are actively searching for a Senior Integrated Master Scheduler to join our team. In this position, you will be responsible for creating, developing, and maintaining a master schedule, which serves as a central tool for planning, executing, and tracking technical, schedule, cost, and risk activities across the program.
