Job Summary

The Master Scheduler plays a crucial role within the Program Controls function, collaborating closely with the Program Controls Analyst to support a diverse portfolio of aerospace programs for DoD, NASA, and commercial customers. These programs encompass Firm Fixed Price, Cost-Plus, and pure commercial contracts, some of which necessitate ANSI/EIA-748-compliant Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS).

This role involves developing and maintaining Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) using Microsoft Project as the enterprise scheduling tool. The Program Controls Scheduler ensures cost-schedule integration, supports effective program planning and execution, and customizes scheduling strategies to align with each program's unique lifecycle, risk posture, and contractual requirements.

This position requires a high degree of collaboration among engineering, business, and operational teams to ensure that programs are delivered on time, within budget, and with full visibility into performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and control Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) aligned with the WBS, Control Account structure, and contractual deliverables.
• 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.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities across multiple programs.
• Ability to assess and improve existing planning processes and tools.
