Vessel Scheduler

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 Vessel Planner owns the detailed production schedule for one or more assigned hulls and is responsible for maintaining activity logic, production sequencing, progress updates, near-term priorities, and forecasted vessel milestones in Primavera P6. The Vessel Planner works closely with shop and production leadership to keep the hull schedule accurate and executable, and ensures that each detailed hull schedule directly supports the integrated master schedule so that milestone changes at the hull level are reflected in the overall site forecast.

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).
• Prepare progress updates and provide hull-level inputs for weekly and monthly reporting.
• Participate in and facilitate hull schedule review meetings with shop and production leadership.
• Coordinate with engineering and procurement to align design releases and material availability with production sequencing.
• Integrate quality hold points into the hull schedule, with a focus on Requests for Inspection (RFI), punch lists, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), and product requirement punches.

Qualifications

• 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.

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
