Description
The Discipline Scheduler supports the Supervisor - Outage Planning & Scheduling through the detailed development, coordination, maintenance, revision, and analysis of outage and non-outage schedules for assigned disciplines. This role integrates maintenance, surveillance, corrective, elective, and modification-related work into executable schedules that support safe, compliant, and efficient plant operation while balancing risk management, equipment reliability, ALARA considerations, equipment out-of-service time, training and qualifications, and resource utilization.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and update detailed logic-tied, resource-loaded schedules for assigned outage and online work activities.
- Integrate surveillance, preventive, repetitive, corrective, elective, and modification-related work into executable schedules consistent with approved scope and station priorities.
- Build and maintain schedule logic, work windows, milestones, constraints, and activity sequencing in Primavera P6 or other approved scheduling tools.
- Coordinate with planners, engineers, maintenance, operations, projects, radiation protection, supply chain, and vendor representatives to ensure schedule accuracy and cross-functional alignment.
- Review work orders, task lists, durations, manpower estimates, prerequisites, and implementation assumptions to support schedule credibility and execution readiness.
- Validate and maintain resource loading for assigned schedules and support development of manpower curves, shift strategies, and work execution assumptions.
- Identify schedule conflicts, interface risks, bottlenecks, and resource constraints; elevate concerns and recommend solutions to support efficient execution.
- Track and communicate known schedule restraints, including material, engineering, procedure, walkdown, vendor, clearance, approval, and field condition impacts.
- Support development and maintenance of outage restraint lists, milestone schedules, readiness trackers, and other schedule governance tools for assigned disciplines.
- Update schedules during outage execution to reflect actual work progress, emergent scope, revised priorities, changes in logic, and updated resource needs.
- Support daily and shiftly schedule turnover by documenting changes, communicating impacts, and maintaining current schedule status for station stakeholders.
- Perform schedule analysis to support path management, recovery planning, contingency development, and decision-making during outage and non-outage periods.
- Support integrated schedule reviews, readiness reviews, risk reviews, outage status meetings, and other assigned scheduling forums.
- Ensure assigned schedules reflect Technical Specification constraints, shutdown risk expectations, ALARA considerations, training and qualification needs, and station scheduling standards.
- Participate in outage critiques, self-assessments, corrective action reviews, and lessons learned activities to support continuous improvement.
- Perform additional duties as assigned, including Emergency Response Organization and execution assignments for which qualified.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, Science, Business, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in outage planning, outage scheduling, work management, project controls, maintenance planning, or a similar role in nuclear generation or a comparably regulated heavy industrial environment.
- Working knowledge of nuclear plant operations, outage execution, work management processes, and schedule governance.
- Working knowledge of Technical Specifications, shutdown risk management, ALARA considerations, and station procedures applicable to outage and online schedule development.
- Proficiency with Primavera P6, including development and maintenance of logic-tied schedules, schedule analysis, schedule updating, and reporting.
- Working knowledge of plant work management systems such as NIMS or equivalent computerized maintenance/work management platforms.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, analytical and problem-solving ability, and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Ability to support extended hours during outage execution and perform emergency response duties as qualified and assigned.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience supporting refueling, forced, or maintenance outages in a commercial nuclear generating station.
- Experience updating integrated schedules during outage execution and supporting emergent work integration, schedule recovery, and contingency planning.
- Experience coordinating schedule interfaces with maintenance, engineering, operations, projects, vendors, and outage support organizations.
- Plant-specific qualification, certification, or equivalent demonstrated nuclear operations, maintenance, planning, or scheduling experience.
