About the position

As a Project Coordinator - Integrated Plant and Structures at Volt, you will play a crucial role in managing and coordinating engineering schedules for nuclear systems projects. This remote position requires you to develop, manage, and update engineering schedules in collaboration with the project controls organization. You will initiate and facilitate the change process approvals for new and emerging engineering activities, ensuring compliance with project scheduling standards. Your oversight will extend to partner and supplier schedules, where you will monitor performance and schedule metrics to ensure alignment with project goals. In this role, you will break down high-level engineering tasks into detailed activity schedules for various design teams. You will be responsible for verifying and tracking team assignments within the schedule, managing engineering resource levelization over time, and generating resource forecasts on a bi-monthly basis. Effective communication and coordination with relevant stakeholders will be essential as you track requests to resource managers and ensure buy-in from all parties involved. You will also develop and refine standard design activity sequences to prepare for future design phases and procurement activities. This includes generating detailed versions for specific activity sequences such as procurements or integrated analyses. Managing detailed schedule logic tie interfaces for activities within a design team, as well as external logic links to other design areas, will be part of your responsibilities. You will create and track milestones aligned with task activities and gather status reports from design teams to manage updates to project reporting venues. Periodic status updates to key engineering leaders will be required, along with identifying pinch points in resource allocations and sequence timing.
