Schedule Analyst, Junior
The Challenge:
You know the secret to a successful project is tracking the balance between resources and performance. You can look at metrics, identify risk indicators, and plan changes to keep the project within budget and on time while achieving goals successfully. What if you could use those project analysis skills to make a difference for the Air Force? We have an opportunity for a project analyst to join our team as we provide comprehensive schedule analysis to support weapons research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) programs for an Air Force client.
On our team, youll monitor cost, schedule, and performance using tools like Microsoft Project, onePager Pro, and forProject Analyzer in daily interactions with program managers, flight test engineers, and other acquisition SMEs. The real power of project analysis comes from communication, so youll create and conduct status updates, critical path analysis and schedule risk analysis and make experience-based recommendations for improvement to project leadership. We focus on growing as a team, so youll share your expertise with other analysts through leadership and mentoring. This is a chance to use your analysis skills while expanding your project management experience. Join us and make sure our programs stay on-time and within budget as we enable rapid prototyping and rapid fielding for the warfighter.
