About The Position

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.

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.
