Your mission
Are you energized by untangling complex precedence networks and turning constraints into schedules that work? Join Chipton-Ross in San Antonio, TX to support an Executive Fleet program where your industrial engineering and analytics mindset will drive tangible improvements in cost, quality, and schedule—onsite, over a 12+ month contract.
What you will do
- Transform production intent into executable plans—design precedence networks linked to milestones and adjust them as reality changes.
- Build weekly/biweekly operating and recovery plans using constraint-based scheduling and crew cycling to protect the critical path.
- Run capacity and constraint analyses; lead process effectiveness studies that remove waste and elevate throughput.
- Deliver monthly support to “barge” activities: schedule development/analysis, OPE deep dives, data analytics, alternate job routing, critical-chain visibility, and chit board updates.
- Apply models, simulations, and statistical methods to optimize flow and resource utilization across facilities, personnel, materials, and equipment.
- Plan work, analyze historical trends and production impacts, and recommend staffing and process improvements across a multi-functional team.
