The Supervisor – Outage Planning & Scheduling leads the development, maintenance, governance, and execution support of integrated outage schedules for Unit 1 and Unit 2. This role supervises outage scheduling personnel and works closely with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Radiation Protection, Supply Chain, Work Management, Projects, and PRA/Risk Management to build logic-driven, resource-loaded schedules that support safe, compliant, efficient outage execution. The Supervisor ensures outage schedules and scheduling practices align with Technical Specifications, Maintenance Rule requirements, plant procedures, shutdown risk expectations, ALARA principles, and station performance goals.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Supervise and develop outage scheduling personnel, including performance management, coaching, work prioritization, and individual development planning.
- Own the development, maintenance, and publication of integrated, logic-tied, resource-loaded outage schedules for Unit 1 and Unit 2.
- Lead schedule integration for refueling, forced, and maintenance outages, including pre-outage, execution, and post-outage schedule development.
- Partner with station organizations to develop outage strategy, scope integration, system windows, work sequencing, and implementation plans for maintenance, surveillance, corrective, elective, and modification work.
- Ensure outage schedules reflect plant risk, Technical Specification constraints, Maintenance Rule requirements, shutdown safety expectations, equipment out-of-service time, ALARA considerations, and available resources.
- Review and challenge activity durations, logic ties, critical path assumptions, and resource estimates to maintain schedule credibility, resiliency, and execution readiness.
- Establish and maintain outage restraint lists, schedule assumptions, and readiness trackers, including material, engineering, procedure, walkdown, vendor, and emergent issue interfaces with assigned owners and due dates.
- Lead integrated schedule review meetings, readiness reviews, and cross-functional alignment meetings; communicate schedule risks, recovery options, and critical decisions to station leadership.
- Support outage risk assessments and PRA-informed shutdown risk management activities, including the evaluation of emergent work impacts to both outage and online units.
- Provide execution support during outages by updating schedules, resolving schedule conflicts, controlling emergent scope integration, and maintaining alignment between the approved plan and field execution.
- Validate work execution strategies and manpower loading profiles, including shift strategies and resource curves needed to support outage scope.
- Drive continuous improvement by supporting outage critiques, self-assessments, corrective action reviews, and lessons learned for future outages.
- Serve as an active participant or leader in outage governance meetings and station committees, including Outage Core Team, outage improvement meetings, daily outage meetings, and other assigned forums.
- Perform additional duties as assigned, including Emergency Response Organization and execution assignments for which qualified.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Science, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in outage planning, outage scheduling, work management, project controls, or a similar role in nuclear generation or a comparably regulated heavy industrial environment.
- Demonstrated experience leading, coordinating, or supervising cross-functional work teams, planners, or schedulers.
- Working knowledge of nuclear plant operations, outage execution, work management processes, and schedule governance.
- Working knowledge of Technical Specifications, Maintenance Rule requirements, shutdown risk management, and station procedures applicable to outage planning and scheduling.
- Proficiency with Primavera P6, including development of logic-tied, resource-loaded schedules, schedule analysis, and reporting.
- Working knowledge of plant work management systems such as NIMS or equivalent computerized maintenance/work management platforms.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, meeting facilitation capability, and sound analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to support extended hours during outage execution and perform emergency response duties as qualified and assigned.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Previous supervisory experience leading outage planners, schedulers, or work management personnel.
- Senior Reactor Operator license, Shift Technical Advisor qualification, plant-specific certification, or equivalent demonstrated nuclear operations experience.
- Experience supporting multiple refueling outages and/or dual-unit outage coordination.
- Experience with outage readiness reviews, critical path management, schedule health metrics, and post-outage performance analysis.
- Experience coordinating vendor interfaces, contract scope integration, and outage execution support activities.
