Position Summary

Owner's scheduler responsible for coordinating and validating the integrated project schedule for data center construction. This role reviews and challenges contractor-developed schedules, independently verifies progress and forecasts, and ensures contractors maintain their contractual scheduling obligations - rather than building the contractor's schedule - with a focus on the fast-track, MEP-intensive, and commissioning-driven nature of data center delivery.

Key Responsibilities
  • Review and validate contractor Primavera P6 schedules for data center projects, confirming proper WBS, logic, durations, and resource/cost loading across shell, MEP, and commissioning.
  • Validate the schedule baseline and enforce the contractual schedule change process.
  • Independently verify schedule updates and progress measurement; challenge general contractor and subcontractor submissions.
  • Perform independent critical path and float analysis, schedule risk analysis, and what-if/recovery review.
  • Coordinate and validate integration of long-lead equipment deliveries and commissioning (Cx / integrated systems testing) into the sequence.
  • Produce owner-side schedule deliverables - look-aheads, milestone tracking, S-curves, and SPI - and independent status for leadership and owners.
  • Manage contractors to meet contractual schedule requirements (submission cadence, format, and quality) and hold them accountable.
  • Coordinate across the owner, general contractor, MEP trades, and commissioning agents to keep the schedule current and credible.
  • Produce accurate, complete, and timely schedule information and data that enable senior leadership to make informed decisions on projects.


Requirements

  • 3+ years of project scheduling experience on construction projects, including data center or mission-critical facilities.
  • Owner's-representative or owner-side experience validating contractor schedules preferred.
  • Strong Primavera P6 proficiency - baseline management, resource/cost loading, and multi-schedule integration.
  • Command of critical path method (CPM), schedule risk analysis, and progress measurement techniques.
  • Experience validating contractor schedules and enforcing schedule change control and contract requirements.
  • Familiarity with data center construction - MEP scopes, long-lead equipment, and commissioning sequencing.
  • Strong communication skills to present schedule status to leadership and stakeholders.
