About the role

Oklo is seeking a disciplined and analytical Project Scheduler to embed within capital project teams and support delivery of advanced energy and infrastructure projects. The role develops, maintains, and analyzes integrated project schedules across engineering, licensing, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning, partnering with project leadership and external vendors to establish executable plans, monitor progress, and support recovery decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Integrated Schedule Development and Baseline Management: Develop and maintain logic-driven integrated project schedules, including activities, durations, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, planning packages, milestones, and interfaces with external schedules. Support baseline establishment and controlled re-baselining in accordance with governance requirements.
  • Recurring Status and Forecasting: Lead regular schedule status cycles with project teams and external contributors. Incorporate actual progress and forecast updates while validating logic, durations, remaining work, completion criteria, and projected dates.
  • Critical Path and Risk Analysis: Analyze critical and near-critical paths, total and free float, schedule sensitivity, and emerging risks. Distinguish true completion drivers from secondary delays and communicate potential impacts early.
  • Recovery and Scenario Planning: Develop what-if analyses, recovery plans, acceleration options, and schedule compression scenarios. Quantify the milestone and critical-path implications of proposed decisions, changes, and mitigation actions.
  • Cross-Functional and Vendor Integration: Coordinate schedule interfaces across engineering, licensing, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, vendors, and other external stakeholders. Facilitate planning workshops and schedule review meetings.
  • Cost and Schedule Integration: Partner with Project Controls and Finance to align schedule progress, forecast dates, cost forecasts, cash flow, and project performance reporting. Support objective assessments of physical progress and earned value where applicable.
  • Reporting and Decision Support: Produce milestone reports, look-ahead plans, schedule narratives, dashboards, and executive-ready insights. Clearly communicate schedule variance, drivers, risks, recovery opportunities, and decisions required.
  • Schedule Quality and Governance: Perform routine health checks and data validation, resolve missing or unrealistic information with status owners, and maintain compliance with Oklo scheduling standards, coding structures, and change-control processes.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Project Management, Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of experience developing, maintaining, and analyzing integrated project schedules for complex technical or capital projects
  • Experience supporting integrated schedules with at least 25 active schedule contributors or status owners across multiple disciplines
  • Hands-on experience developing and maintaining schedules in Microsoft Project
  • Strong understanding of critical path methodology, schedule logic, float, forecasting, progress measurement, baseline management, and change control
  • Experience facilitating recurring schedule status and planning meetings with cross-functional technical teams
  • Ability to challenge schedule assumptions constructively and translate detailed analysis into clear recommendations
  • Strong written, verbal, analytical, and stakeholder-management skills
