Senior Scheduler

At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future.

Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.

The Construction and Infrastructure organization delivers the facilities, infrastructure, and construction projects required to support Valar's mission. The team manages planning, execution, and delivery of complex capital projects while ensuring quality, safety, and operational readiness.

Valar Atomics is seeking an experienced Senior Scheduler to develop, maintain, and coordinate schedules across manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, and program activities. The Scheduler will be responsible for translating project and production requirements into actionable schedules, tracking progress, identifying constraints and risks, and working cross-functionally to keep critical activities on schedule.

The ideal candidate has 5–7 years of experience in production scheduling, project scheduling, manufacturing planning, or project controls and is comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-mix manufacturing environment.

• Develop and maintain detailed production, manufacturing, and project schedules.
• Coordinate schedules across Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Procurement, and Operations.
• Establish activity sequences, dependencies, milestones, durations, and resource requirements.
• Track actual progress against baseline schedules and identify schedule variances.
• Monitor critical-path activities and proactively identify potential delays and constraints.

• Develop short-term look-ahead schedules and longer-term production plans.
• Coordinate material availability and supplier commitments with the production schedule.
• Identify schedule conflicts and work with stakeholders to develop mitigation and recovery plans.
• Maintain accurate schedule data and provide regular status updates to project and functional leadership.
• Support production planning for prototype, development, and production hardware.
• Incorporate engineering changes, procurement status, manufacturing readiness, and quality requirements into schedules.
• Participate in cross-functional planning and production meetings.
• Develop schedule reports, dashboards, forecasts, and performance metrics for leadership.
• Support what-if analysis and scenario planning to evaluate schedule impacts.
• Maintain schedule integrity and ensure changes are properly documented and communicated.
• Help establish scalable scheduling processes and standards as the organization grows.
• Identify opportunities to improve planning, scheduling, and cross-functional coordination processes.

• 5–7 years of experience in scheduling, production planning, project controls, manufacturing planning, or a related field.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Supply Chain, Construction Management, Business, or a related discipline; equivalent experience may be considered.
