Construction Planner​/Scheduler; Paducah

Paducah, KY

General Matter is enriching uranium in America. Our mission is to restore our country’s ability to make nuclear fuel. Our fuel will help power AI, manufacturing, and other critical industries. It will power our next generation of reactors. Ultimately, it will power our national ambitions. We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and we are backed by top tier investors.

Our lean, world‑class team of engineers and operators is applying a first‑principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. We are a mission‑driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability and transparency.

The Planner/Scheduler is directly responsible for planning and scheduling projects in various design stages, as well as tracking and reporting progress during execution. The Project Controls team and the planner/scheduler have the primary objective to support the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) group in the design, planning, and execution of company infrastructure by providing management with critical, decision‑making information that ensures projects deliver on time and on budget.

The Team does this by closely collaborating with other functional teams throughout the project lifecycle to
1) ensure adequate definition of scope, cost, and schedule;
2) establish reasonable baselines;
3) identify and manage risk; and
4) track, monitor, and report project performance. The Team can then make valuable recommendations that drive project performance. The specific Construction Planner/Scheduler responsibilities and qualifications are below:

• Planning:
  Lead site infrastructure planning efforts including the breakdown of various projects such as site work, building, utilities, and tooling, into manageable planning and scheduling packages. Work with product, program, design, and construction managers to define and plan the work, manage internal and external (third‑party firms) planning resources, and track and report progress. Monitor facility progress and turnover dates against key production milestones.
• Basis of
  
  Schedule:
  
  Develop and manage a comprehensive Basis of Schedule (BOS) document throughout the planning and scheduling lifecycle noting the scope, execution strategy, key assumptions, exclusions, risks, and other critical information.
• Conceptual and Detailed Planning:
  Lead the schedule development lifecycle from conceptual project planning through detailed, execution scheduling. Conduct periodic planning meetings to align the plan with the execution strategy. Work closely with key stakeholders including engineering, procurement, estimating, and construction management to properly sequence the work, assess durations, and enhance the overall quality and accuracy of the plan.
• Scheduling:
  Utilize Oracle Primavera P6 to schedule projects in accordance with both company and professional quality standards. Resource load schedules, level, and confirm reasonableness of contractor durations and ramp plans. Ensure schedule has complete scope coverage, identify potential scope growth, and ensure allowances and contingencies are appropriately used. Utilize industry benchmarks and internal historical durations to validate the quality of the overall schedule.
• Risk Assessment:
  Work with key stakeholders to identify schedule risks and lead the schedule contingency development process.
• Quality Reviews:
  Perform quality reviews over work prepared and submitted by others to ensure completeness and accuracy.
• System and Process Development:
  Support the continued development of scheduling system (EPS and tables), its ongoing administration, processes, and templates. Develop scheduling metrics, and benchmarks that allow for the standardization of durations used by various stakeholders for planning in early design stages.
• Performance Tracking:
  Track and summarize schedule performance with other project controls functions and the finance teams.
• Studies:
  Lead ad‑hoc schedule studies that enable rapid decision‑making based on trade‑offs between alternatives.
• Other work as needed in support of successful project delivery.
