Project Scheduler, Enrichment Operations

BWXT • Oak Ridge, TN

10d • $79,000 - $119,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The Project Scheduler for BWXT Enrichment Operations serves as the authoritative lead for schedule development, critical-path analysis, baseline management, and performance forecasting across high-value enrichment programs. The role independently establishes, maintains, and integrates complex resource-loaded schedules for initiatives spanning design, experimental testing, construction, manufacturing readiness, and operational deployment. It requires mastery of Primavera P6, expertise in DOE nuclear-capital scheduling standards, and the ability to inform program strategy with data-driven visibility into schedule risks, constraints, and performance trends.

The position is on-site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The scheduler collaborates across project management, engineering, operations, maintenance, supply chain, safety, environmental, and security teams, and supports leadership through schedule reporting, analysis, forecasting, and continuous process improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in project management, business, engineering, construction management, or a related discipline; equivalent experience may be considered.
• Seven or more years of progressive experience in project scheduling, project controls, earned-value management, or cost/schedule integration within DOE, nuclear, industrial, or other highly technical environments.
• Mastery of Primavera P6, critical-path methodology, resource loading, and development of Level 1–5 schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage integrated cost/schedule baselines for large, complex programs in the multi-hundred-million- to multi-billion-dollar range.
• Ability to interpret technical engineering inputs, coordinate multidisciplinary logic, and support field-level construction or execution schedules.
• Proven analytical skills, including identifying risks early, diagnosing trends, and providing corrective or preventive recommendations.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to influence stakeholders across engineering, operations, regulatory, and program leadership.
• Experience implementing automation tools, utilities, or AI-assisted workflow enhancements for scheduling or reporting.
• Must be a U.S. citizen capable of obtaining and maintaining a DOE Q clearance.
• All candidates must be U.S. citizens and selected applicants must successfully complete a pre-employment check and drug screening.
• The position may require eligibility for access to classified or sensitive information, including an extensive criminal and financial background investigation, drug test, and employment and reference verifications.

Nice To Haves

• Ten or more years of progressive experience in project scheduling, project controls, earned-value management, or cost/schedule integration is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and manage detailed, resource-loaded schedules covering development, experimental, construction, and operational phases for Enrichment Operations projects.
• Build and maintain integrated master schedules using Primavera P6 and apply DOE, EVMS, and capital-program scheduling requirements.
• Independently own schedule baseline creation, integration, and maintenance for complex technical programs as the scheduling subject-matter authority.
• Collect schedule inputs, validate logic, and resolve constraint conflicts in collaboration with project managers and cross-functional teams.
• Perform critical-path analysis, identify trends, forecast performance, and recommend schedule or execution-strategy adjustments to prevent variance growth.
• Create routine and ad hoc schedule reports, including dashboards, SPI/CPI metrics, schedule forecasts, and at-completion projections for leadership.
• Conduct schedule-impact assessments, scenario modeling, procurement alignment reviews, and execution-sequencing analyses to support risk management.
• Ensure compliance with DOE scheduling requirements, internal BWXT controls, change-management processes, and configuration-control practices.
• Implement automation, data-pipeline improvements, and digital workflow enhancements to improve schedule integrity and reduce reporting cycle time.
• Participate as the scheduling authority in project reviews, design coordination sessions, constructability assessments, and implementation planning meetings.
• Champion continuous improvement in scheduling processes, tools, standards, automation, and digital capabilities for Enrichment Operations.
