Senior Program Scheduler

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

JOB OVERVIEW

Saronic Technologies is seeking a Senior Scheduler to lead the development, maintenance, and proliferation of integrated master schedules (IMS) across our programs, products, and developmental efforts. Program IMS’ inform downstream teams like Production, Software, Engineering, and Mission Services enabling them to plan and resource effectively.

The Senior Program Scheduler supports the entire Programs Group, leading the company-wide integration and adoption of Microsoft Project / Primavera P6 and driving scheduling competency and training across teams. This role combines project management, information synthesis, and clear communication with a keen understanding of scheduling systems and the tools that surface their data. Working alongside a team of tools developers, the Senior Program Scheduler generates executive dashboards and Palantir-based reports of the fully loaded schedule across all programs—enabling drill-down into individual program schedules, resources, and dependencies.

This aggregated view is used to drive a holistic understanding of resource demand across both labor and products, helping Program Managers deconflict internal capacity and roadmaps against the urgency of customer timelines. The role demands direct engagement with stakeholders across Saronic to elicit and clarify timelines, resources, and blockers to execution, and it calls for deep expertise in industry-standard scheduling practices, advanced critical-path and schedule-risk analysis, and the discipline to bring rigor to scheduling in a fast-paced environment developing cutting-edge autonomous platforms.
