This role defines critical path activities and schedule windows for multi-ship vessel programs, working closely with manufacturing engineering leadership and the facilities team.\nMulti-ship shipbuilding programs require a master schedule that reflects real station capacity, resource constraints, and the sequencing dependencies across every trade. The Master Planner ensures the schedule is both ambitious and achievable, and remains a trusted, living document as programs evolve.\nThis role works closely with the Manager of Manufacturing Engineering to define critical path activities and schedule windows, and with the Facilities team to understand the real capabilities and restrictions of every work station in the yard.\nResponsibilities\nShip Plan & Flow Management\nDevelop and maintain the ship plan showing how each vessel in a multi-ship program moves through the yard's work stations.\n\nDefine work station sequencing and loading across concurrent ship builds, balancing throughput against physical capacity.\n\nIdentify where work for one hull competes with another for the same station, crane, or resource.\nIntegrated Master Schedule\n\nBuild and maintain the integrated master schedule (IMS), tying structural, piping, electrical, HVAC, machinery, and outfitting work into a single coherent timeline.\n\nWork with the Manager of Manufacturing Engineering to define critical path activities and schedule windows for each ship and program.\n\nKeep the schedule current as progress, engineering changes, and resourcing decisions move the plan.\nFacilities Coordination\n\nWork closely with Facilities to understand each work station's physical capabilities and restrictions, including size, weight, crane capacity, access, and utilities.\n\nEnsure the ship plan never assumes more than a station can deliver.\n\nResolve facility or capacity constraints early through resequencing or schedule adjustment.\nSchedule Risk & Reporting\n\nMaintain visibility into schedule health across the program, flagging slippage and resource conflicts to leadership.\n\nSupport what-if scenario planning for schedule compression, added ships, or facility changes.\n\nEstablish planning standards, milestone definitions, and reporting cadence across the organization.\nWhat Success Looks Like\n\nSchedule risk is identified early enough to be resolved through resequencing rather than crisis management.\n\nMultiple concurrent ship programs are sequenced without resource or station conflicts.\n\nFacility constraints are built into the plan rather than discovered as floor conflicts.\n\nLeadership can make informed schedule tradeoffs using current, reliable data.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\nHands-on experience in shipyard production planning, scheduling, or master planning, ideally across multiple ship programs.\n\nDemonstrated experience building and maintaining an integrated master schedule using CPM-based scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar).\n\nUnderstanding of the full ship construction flow: fabrication, subassembly, unit, block, erection, outfitting, launch, delivery.\n\nStrong analytical skills in critical path analysis, schedule risk assessment, and capacity/throughput planning.\n\nStrong communication skills to present schedule risk and tradeoffs clearly to a range of stakeholders.\n\nPreferred\nExperience across multi-ship or multi-program shipbuilding construction.\n\nExperience with PLM/ERP systems and data integration between scheduling tools and production systems.\n\nFamiliarity with classification society and program milestones (keel lay, launch, trials, delivery).\n\nBachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, industrial engineering, or a related field.\n\nExperience building schedule health reporting such as dashboards, S-curves, and milestone trackers.\n\nPhysical Demands\nProlonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer\n\nOccasional standing and walking within the office\n\nManual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment\n\nVisual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports\n\nOccasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies\n\nLifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)\n\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium under the basic plan for employees and 80% for dependents\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays\nParental Leave: Paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents\nCompetitive Salary: Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses\nRetirement Plan: 401(k) plan with company match\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\nPet Insurance: Discounted pet insurance options including 24/7 Telehealth helpline\nAdditional Perks: Free lunch benefit and unlimited free
