Pay Range: $160.410 - $196,428 Annually

This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.  An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, specific competencies, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

We are seeking a Maintenance Scheduling Supervisor to lead the scheduling function for highly complex maintenance and project work across LLNL facilities. You will supervise a technical team, own the integrated look-ahead schedule, and ensure your team provides high quality customer service while navigating requirements for high-hazard environments. This position is in the Work Planning and Control (WP&C) Functional area within the Environment Safety & Health (ES&H) Directorate.

This position requires full-time on-site presence due to the nature of the work.

You will

• Provide direct administrative supervision to a technical team, including interviewing, selection, training, performance management, and rating; ensure ES&H/WP&C compliance for personnel, equipment, and facilities.
• Own the Laboratory’s T-week (look-ahead) maintenance schedule—level resources across crafts, resolve conflicts with stakeholders, and align with safety, reliability, customer, and financial goals.
• Lead portfolio-level backlog management, balancing preventive, corrective, and elective work to drive continuous improvements in material condition.
• Standardize scheduling practices (e.g., logic/constraints) and performance metrics (delay codes, resource histograms, KPIs); prepare and deliver status reporting to management.
• Chair cross-functional planning/scheduling meetings; negotiate priorities and mediate timeline discrepancies among ES&H, facility operations, program customers, and contractors.
• Provide oversight of the Maintenance Work Schedulers, including documented observations, coaching, and mentoring.
• Drive continuous improvement—lead feedback sessions, post-job briefs, and management reviews to enhance safety and efficiency.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, project management, or equivalent combination of education and related technical experience.
• Extensive experience as a scheduler/workweek manager/work planner/project manager overseeing highly complex maintenance programs and leading teams that support intricate maintenance programs.
• Advanced proficiency in Primavera P6 (and related tools such as MS Project/Excel/PowerPoint), including schedule setup, baselining, monitoring, and reporting.
• Advanced knowledge of WP&C and ES&H practices and the ability to flow facility safety-basis requirements (DSA, FSP, Siting Plan) into work control documents.
• Independent judgment to define approaches, establish/modify procedures, set priorities, and create original solutions in high-consequence settings.
• Strong analytical and technical writing skills (procedures, work instructions, LOTO/interlock procedures) and experience drafting work packages/JHAs.
• Proven track record leading change and driving process standardization and improvement across planning/scheduling functions.
• Experience collaborating in higher-hazard environments (e.g., nuclear/radiological/explosives) with rigorous safety and compliance requirements.

Qualifications We Desire

• Familiarity with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), predictive maintenance technologies, and asset management best practices.
• Strong facilitation skills for leading cross-disciplinary meetings and resolving competing priorities among diverse stakeholder groups.
• Experience with change management methodologies and leading teams through process, technology, or organizational transitions.
