About The Position

The Senior Integrated Engineering and Manufacturing Planner is responsible for detailed scheduling, reporting, and analysis of engineering and manufacturing activities supporting Edison Works programs. The planner collaborates with the Integrated Master Scheduling team, Engineering Control Account Managers, Manufacturing Programs Hardware Managers, and Government Property Managers to support execution of complex hardware and program milestones. The role uses schedule rigor to reveal hardware risk and prompt action to protect critical milestones, while developing and implementing standard work across programs with complex dependencies. The planner supports customer needs, industry dynamics, and government market requirements for future contract proposals, baseline planning, and program replans. They also support the Program Management Office in developing and implementing best practices and standard work templates to improve program execution across Edison Works and GE Aerospace. The role connects schedule discipline to hardware execution by identifying constraints, improving risk visibility, and driving cross-functional action to maintain program commitments.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
At least 5 years of experience in project or program management.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance.
Ability to meet the U.S. Person status requirement for access to U.S. export-controlled information.

Responsibilities

Create, maintain, and continuously improve detailed schedules for Edison Works programs, aligned with hardware build, test, delivery, and program milestones.
Use schedule rigor to expose hardware risk and drive action to protect critical program milestones.
Establish daily management standards, reporting, and operating rhythms with critical program functions to improve visibility into hardware status, priorities, and execution risk.
Apply schedule logic to engineering and hardware activity changes to identify critical-path impacts, dependencies, constraints, and gaps requiring action.
Conduct recurring daily and weekly status reviews with Engineering and Manufacturing Programs focal points, update activity progress, resolve disconnects, and close actions affecting hardware schedules.
Partner with the Earned Value Management Scheduling team to ensure reporting reflects hardware execution status, milestone performance, and recovery actions.
Identify and escalate schedule risks, and coordinate cross-functional recovery plans for missed dates, sequencing conflicts, resource constraints, and other execution barriers.
Communicate program status, schedule health, pressure to plan, and hardware execution risks to internal customers and leaders.
Advise program leadership, systems engineering, and manufacturing programs on cross-functional scheduling, dependencies, constraints, and opportunities to recover or protect milestones.
Improve GE scheduling tools, including Deltek Open Plan, and serve as a scheduling tool subject matter expert by providing reports, views, and analysis for program decisions and hardware execution.
Apply LEAN principles to develop and implement best practices, standard work, and problem-solving methods that improve schedule quality, responsiveness, and execution efficiency.
Support leadership reporting and purchased services planning with schedule-based analysis tied to hardware readiness, execution priorities, and program needs.
