We are looking for a Project Planner. As a Project Planner, you'll play a critical role behind the scenes-supporting major dry dock and modernization projects that span the globe.

This is a high-visibility opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, multi-year initiative with major IT and infrastructure upgrades across multiple ships. This position will be a contract and onsite in Miramar, Florida. Occasional global travel may be required (10%).

• Strong project scheduling and budget planning skills

• Exceptional attention to detail with a love for spreadsheets, timelines, and process precision

• Familiarity with MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, or other project management tools

• Strong analytical mindset and ability to consolidate project data into meaningful insights

• Proven multitasker who can support multiple PMs across multiple global projects

• Self-starter with excellent organizational skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a high-performing team

Preferred:

• Power BI experience is a big plus

Physical Demands

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions consistent with the ADA and other federal, state, and local standards

• Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time with occasional need to move around the office to attend meetings, etc.
