About The Position

At BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT), we are People Strong, Innovation Driven. A U.S.-based company, BWXT is a Fortune 1000 and Defense News Top 100 manufacturing and engineering innovator that provides safe and effective nuclear solutions for global security, clean energy, environmental restoration, nuclear medicine and space exploration. With more than 7,800 employees, BWXT has 14 major operating sites in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. We are the sole manufacturer of naval nuclear reactors for U.S. submarines and aircraft carriers. Our company supplies precision manufactured components, services and fuel for the commercial nuclear power industry across four continents. Our joint ventures provide environmental restoration and operations management at a dozen U.S. Department of Energy and NASA facilities. BWXT’s technology is driving advances in medical radioisotope production in North America and microreactors for various defense and space applications. As the Project Scheduler for BWXT Enrichment Operations, you will serve as the authoritative lead for schedule development, critical‑path analysis, baseline management, and performance forecasting across high‑value enrichment programs. You will independently establish, maintain, and integrate complex resource‑loaded schedules that support multi‑million‑ to multi‑billion‑dollar initiatives spanning design, experimental testing, construction, manufacturing readiness, and operational deployment. This position requires mastery of Primavera P6, expertise in DOE nuclear‑capital scheduling standards, and the ability to influence program strategy through precise, data‑driven visibility into schedule risks, constraints, and performance trends.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in project management, business, engineering, construction management, or a related discipline (equivalent experience may be considered).
• Seven (7+) years—preferably ten (10+) 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.
• Strong ability to interpret technical engineering inputs, coordinate multi‑discipline logic, and support field‑level construction or execution schedules.
• Proven analytical skills with a track record of identifying risks early, diagnosing trends, and providing corrective or preventive recommendations.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with 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.

Nice To Haves

• PMP certification or equivalent professional credential preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and manage highly detailed, resource‑loaded schedules covering development, experimental, construction, and operational phases for all Enrichment Operations projects.
• Build and maintain integrated master schedules using Primavera P6, applying DOE, EVMS, and capital‑program scheduling requirements.
• Serve as the scheduling subject‑matter authority, independently owning schedule baseline creation, integration, and maintenance for complex technical programs.
• Collaborate directly with project managers, engineering, operations, maintenance, supply chain, safety, environmental, and security teams to collect schedule inputs, validate logic, and resolve constraint conflicts.
• 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 strict 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 increase schedule integrity and reduce reporting cycle time.
• Participate in project reviews, design coordination sessions, constructability assessments, and implementation planning meetings as the scheduling authority.
• Champion continuous improvement across scheduling processes, tools, standards, automation, and digital capabilities for Enrichment Operations.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, and retirement plans.
• Flexible work schedules and paid time off to promote a healthy work‑life balance (as applicable).
• Access to professional development programs, mentorship, and continuing‑education support.
• An inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives and cross‑generational collaboration.
• The opportunity to work on mission‑critical programs that support national security and the future of clean energy.
• Continuous learning and technical‑skills growth throughout your career.
