Description
Are you a master of coordination with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for seeing complex projects come to life? Join our team as a Test and Completions Planner, where you'll play a pivotal role in driving shipbuilding success from planning to delivery.

  • Test & Trials Scheduling – planning for performance validation and sea trials.
  • Compartment Completion – coordinating final outfitting and readiness checks.
Responsibilities
  • Translate Plans into Action: Interpret contract documentation, bills of materials, technical drawings, and 3D models to fully understand the scope, budget, and schedule of assigned work.
  • Build Smart Job Packs & Schedules: Develop detailed job packages and schedules that equip production teams with everything they need for efficient execution, timely material delivery, and milestone achievement.
  • Optimize Workflow in P6: Ensure activity breakdowns, logical sequencing, and trade resource budgets are accurately represented in Primavera P6 and aligned with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
  • Monitor Materials & Flag Issues: Track material stock levels and identify discrepancies with the planning schedule. Communicate required actions to Scheduling, Programs, and Supply Chain teams to keep progress on track.
  • Support the Trades: Provide tailored planning support to trade teams, ensuring alignment between planning and production needs.
  • Drive Readiness & Results: Collaborate with Production and Test & Trials teams by generating reports, tracking metrics, and leading Pre-Build and In-Build reviews to ensure readiness and smooth execution.
Qualifications
  • Post-secondary degree or diploma; preferably in technical, engineering, or related discipline.
  • 2-4 years of planning or trade work experience, preferably in a naval shipbuilding or repair environment.
  • Trade Certificate, Red Seal is considered an asset.
  • Experience using Primavera P6, MS Excel, Aveva, or AutoCAD would be considered an asset.
  • Thorough knowledge of naval repair methods is considered an asset.
  • Lean/Six sigma White, Yellow, and Green Belts would be considered assets.
  • Ability to interpret trade-related drawings.
