Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development, integration, and maintenance of program-level IMS in alignment with program Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), contractual milestones, and FAA objectives.
• Provide strategic oversight of scheduling activities across multiple functional teams, geographically dispersed sites, and subcontractors-ensuring accuracy, transparency, and accountability.
• Identify risks, critical paths, and resource conflicts early, and drive mitigation strategies that keep programs on track.
• Partner with executive leadership, FAA stakeholders, engineering, and functional organizations to provide actionable insights that support data-driven decision-making.
• Ensure schedules are fully integrated with Earned Value Management (EVM) systems, performance reporting, and compliance with all contractual deliverables (CDRLs).
• Drive schedule analysis and reporting in support of major program reviews (PDR, CDR, SRR, TRR) and other high-stakes milestones.
• Mentor, coach, and develop junior schedulers-establishing best practices, strengthening schedule discipline, and promoting a culture of operational excellence.
