ABOUT THE ROLE
The Planner / Scheduler builds and maintains the integrated project schedule for a data center build, with regular progress updates and rigorous analysis of critical path, slippage, and recovery scenarios. On a program where energization dates carry commercial commitments, the schedule isn't an artifact - it's the project's operating instrument, and this role keeps it honest.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
Integrated Schedule Ownership
Build and maintain the integrated P6 schedule spanning engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, with logic that reflects real delivery: submittal-to-fabrication chains, delivery-to-installation ties, water-tightness gates, and Cx prerequisite sequences.
Progress & Status Discipline
Run the progress cycle: field walk-downs and progress capture with superintendents, partner schedule updates, and monthly re-baselining governance. Challenge optimistic progress claims with installed-quantity evidence.
Critical Path & Recovery Analysis
Analyze critical and near-critical paths, float erosion, and slippage drivers every cycle. Model recovery scenarios and what-ifs (resequencing, added shifts, early-release packages) with cost/feasibility input from the PM and superintendents, and present options leadership can actually choose between.
Contractor & Vendor Schedule Integration
Integrate and interrogate GC/EPC and major vendor schedules: audit logic and durations, test milestone credibility, and hold partners to schedule-basis commitments. Own the delivery-date interface with the Logistics & Expediting Manager.
Commissioning Schedule Development
Build the Level 1-5 commissioning schedule with the CXQC Field Manager - system-by-system, with realistic vendor technician and utility dependencies - and protect it from construction compression.
Reporting
Produce schedule health reporting that drives decisions: lookaheads, milestone trend charts, float consumption, and a written critical-path narrative for the weekly and monthly rhythm.
ABOUT YOU
- What we're looking for:
- 6+ years of planning/scheduling on large capital projects; data center, power, or heavy industrial strongly preferred.
- Expert-level Primavera P6: multi-thousand-activity programs, resource/cost loading, and baseline management.
- Schedule quality rigor - DCMA-style health checks, logic auditing, and an allergy to open ends and soft constraints.
- Experience integrating and challenging contractor and vendor schedules, including defending your critical path against theirs.
- Commissioning-phase scheduling experience in mission-critical delivery a significant plus.
- Strong analytical and narrative skills: leadership reads your critical-path story, not the XER.
- Comfortable walking the site and pulling progress directly from superintendents and trade partners.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or related field preferred.
- Regular site presence during construction and commissioning peaks (typically 25-50%).
