Vessel Scheduler

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the detailed Primavera P6 schedule for each assigned vessel, including activity logic, durations, and production sequencing.
• Verify work breakdown structure (WBS), estimates, durations, and sequence logic for accuracy and constructibility at the hull level.
• Status the schedule with timely progress updates and keep near-term priorities and look-ahead schedules current.
• Maintain forecasted vessel milestones and ensure hull-level changes roll up into the integrated master schedule.
• Preserve schedule integrity through ongoing logic review, resolving open-ended activities, constraints, and out-of-sequence work.
• Perform critical path and near-critical path analysis at the hull level to identify risks and recovery opportunities.
• Calculate schedule variance (SV) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) against baseline.
• Produce milestone bar chart schedules, S-curves, and look-ahead schedules (for example, 3-week and 90-day).

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• [2–4]+ years of planning/scheduling or project controls experience, preferably in shipbuilding, marine, or complex fabrication environments.
• Proficiency in Primavera P6 or similar caliber scheduling softwar, including building and maintaining detailed, logic-driven schedules.
• Working knowledge of critical path method (CPM) scheduling and schedule performance metrics (SV, SPI).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, for reporting and analysis. Preferred Qualifications
• Experience scheduling new construction vessels or similarly complex production units.
• Familiarity with marine construction sequencing and quality processes (RFI, FAT, punch list management).
• PMI-SP, AACE PSP, or similar scheduling/project controls certification.
