Professional Experience:

BAE Systems - Southeast Shipyards Alabama (CONTRACTOR via Sirius Technical) Mobile, AL

Integrated Master Scheduler, Project Controls & Reporting

Integrate individual project schedules to create and maintain integrated master shipyard schedules and capacity plans. Perform weekly audits to

ensure schedule adherence/risk management assessment and to make certain that the logic changes, adjustments to activity/project resources,

duration compression and float management does not undermine the management value of the schedule. Produce, maintain and review weekly

integrated look-ahead schedules, major milestone schedule, resource plans and associated communication tools for each work center working closely

with the shop floor planners and production management that account for work center capacity and identify over-capacity situations that require

additional resources, overtime, and/or subcontractors. Lead the communication of master yard schedules, capacity plans, and associated issues to

program management, engineering, production management, senior company management, and the customer representatives. Work closely with

management to develop, maintain, and improve all project scheduling and integrated scheduling standards, and to assist with training project

schedulers. Serve as the primary back-up for the Scheduling Manager.

sequencing, milestones, delivery, logistics, and customer specification compliance. Coordinated work among assigned trades, support functions,

materials management and subcontractors to promote a synchronized project operation. Support trades in fabrication by coordinating subcontractor

work, material needs & delivery, hold point inspects, on site representatives and customer specification compliance

01/14 to 12/14

Scheduler, Planner, Process Engineer & Production Controls

Developed & implemented detailed, logic driven, resource loaded project scheduling, as well as, the company’s planning structure, allowing the

measurement of work down to a granular level of detail. This level of detail allowed the work scope to be gauged and data to be gathered for both

current work scope inefficiencies and historical information to be used at the estimating phase for future business. Developed & implemented the

reporting system (EVMS reporting) and management tools for gauging the performance of different phases of a job, and the performance of the

supervisors and employees on each job. Established an employee evaluation system/report to ensure accountability as well as compensation for

those performing at or above the standards set. All aspects of the schedule, the plan and the reporting function directly tied into the time charging

system/software for measuring a job on a real time basis. I interacted directly with the company owners, project management, shop floor supervisors,

and customer representatives to make day to day decisions that moved the projects toward completion. I developed and implemented preconstruction

build strategy meeting to assist production in the full understanding of the work scope and customer expectations prior to commencing

the work. When this was first implemented we (management, owners and customers) saw an immediate improvement in work efficiencies.

Implemented a post job deconstruct meeting to document the lessons learned and allow management to understand the hows & whys of the things

that went both right and those things that went wrong, thus allowing the company to estimate, engineer and plan better on similar future projects.

When I started with Mitternight the company had no planning system, no logic driven, resource loaded schedule, no real time shop loading and no

reporting functions to manage the projects.
