Lockheed Martin
Integrated Program Planner Associate - Level 1
Join to apply for the Integrated Program Planner Associate - Level 1 role at Lockheed Martin.
WHAT WE'RE DOING At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, we’re on a mission to drive innovation and uphold the highest standards of business ethics. We believe that by pushing the boundaries of visionary thinking, we can achieve exceptional results. As a Lockheed Martin employee, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working in an environment that values integrity and excellence.
JOB DESCRIPTION As the Program Planner, Associate, you will support the preparation and maintenance of program schedules and plans, working closely with Integrated Program Planners to drive program execution. You will be part of an F‑35 Planning team that serves as trusted partners and strategic advisors for our internal and external customers.
THE WORK Program planning is the backbone of successful, complex projects. Planners translate strategic goals into detailed, time‑phased schedules, identify risks, and provide the data that leaders need to make informed decisions. Think of it as the “navigation system” for multidisciplinary programs – guiding resources, milestones, and deliverables from concept to completion.
PROGRAM PLANNING – WHAT IT IS & WHY IT MATTERS If you have ever coordinated construction timelines, managed curriculum rollouts, planned hospitality events, coordinated healthcare programs, overseen product launches, or synchronized mission‑critical operations, you already practice the core of program planning. This role gives you the chance to sharpen those skills, learn industry leading tools, and grow a career that directly supports national defense and aerospace innovation.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Supporting the preparation, execution, and maintenance of new or existing planning products
Developing and maintaining Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) leveraging the Program Summary Master Schedules (PSMS)
Identifying Critical/Driving Paths, performing probabilistic/deterministic risk analysis, and developing corrective actions
Supporting proposal submittal and execution schedule development to meet established plans and parameters
Supporting the implementation and monitoring of the Earned Value Management System through cost and schedule integration throughout the program lifecycle
US citizenship is required due to program requirements.
WHO YOU ARE
Proficiency in a planning tool with the ability to learn new scheduling tools such as Deltek OpenPlan, MS Project, or comparable platforms.
Proven skill in managing multiple tasks, tracking detailed information, and keeping projects on schedule.
Comfortable presenting data, explaining schedule impacts, and influencing diverse stakeholders.
Able to work independently, absorb new concepts quickly, and contribute constructively within a team.
Employees in a level 1 role typically have around 1 year of related professional experience.
WHY JOIN US Our flexible schedules, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits enable our employees to live a healthy, fulfilling life at and outside of work. At Lockheed Martin, we place an emphasis on empowering our employees by fostering innovation, integrity, and exemplifying corporate responsibility.
DESIRED SKILLS
Bachelor’s degree
Advanced experience in building and maintaining network schedules in an industry‑recognized tool (MS Project, Open Plan, P6)
Experience in Milestone Professional
Critical Path Methodology
Schedule‑oriented mindset
Advanced Excel skill set including macros, lookup tables, and VBA
Exposure to Monte Carlo simulations / Schedule Risk Assessment process/tools
Ability to communicate utilizing different techniques and build strong relationships
Experience in a transferable industry (e.g., construction, aerospace, manufacturing, education, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, or product launch)
Military or defense background with operations/logistics planning experience is a strong plus
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION By applying to this job, you are expressing interest in this position and could be considered for other career opportunities where similar skills and requirements have been identified as a match.
