About the role
We’re seeking a hands-on Project Controls Engineer to build and maintain credible schedules that keep complex engineering and manufacturing work on track. You’ll integrate directly with cross‑functional design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and supply chain teams to establish baselines, measure progress, and drive recoveries when the critical path is at risk. The ideal candidate blends mastery of scheduling tools (MS Project and/or Primavera P6) with clear communication and a bias for action.
What you'll do
Planning & scheduling
- Build and maintain integrated, resource‑aware schedules in MS Project and/or Primavera P6 across engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and test activities.
- Establish schedule baselines, calendars, and logic (FS/SS/FF/lag) with sound CPM practices.
- Develop short-interval look‑ahead schedules and roll‑ups for executive reporting.
Progress measurement & reporting
- Collect actuals and percent completes from engineering and manufacturing teams; ensure data quality and timely updates.
- Generate internal and external progress reports, milestone burndowns, and critical/near‑critical path views.
- Produce program dashboards (Gantt roll‑ups, KPI tables) and present insights to stakeholders.
Risk, change, and recovery
- Identify schedule risks, and support mitigation plans to accelerate the critical path.
- Support change control: evaluate schedule impacts of scope changes and recommend re‑baseline when warranted.
- Drive recovery planning with owners; track commit dates and verify outcomes.
Cross‑functional integration
- Partner with engineering leads, manufacturing planners, and supply chain to align dependencies, lead times, and resource constraints.
- Coordinate with test operations to integrate readiness gates, qualification steps, and regulatory milestones.
Qualifications
Required
- 2–4 years in project controls, scheduling, or planning on
