Full Job Description
The Capacity Delivery Program Team

The Capacity Delivery Program team turns signed capacity commitments into energized, GPU-ready data centers on dates our customers have already bet their roadmaps on.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:
  • Build and maintain integrated CPM schedules across greenfield data center builds where design, procurement, construction, and commissioning all run in parallel.
  • Find and close schedule compression opportunities on critical paths measured in days, not months, from long-lead equipment delivery to Day 1 energization.
  • Track cost and field productivity against baselines rigorous enough to catch overruns while they are still recoverable.
  • Give delivery leads and executives a single, defensible source of truth on where every project stands and what threatens the date.
Role Scope
  • Own the P6 CPM schedule for one or more greenfield data center builds, from baseline through closeout, with logic tight enough to survive scrutiny from GCs, owners, and executives.
  • Run cost and productivity tracking against budget and baseline, surfacing variances with the data to back them before they become claims or slips.
  • Drive schedule compression on the critical path, quantifying every recovery option in days and dollars rather than padding buffers.
  • Lead schedule reviews with GC and trade partner schedulers, challenging float sequestration, bad logic, and optimistic durations before they get baselined.
  • Build the reporting cadence (look-aheads, earned value, milestone dashboards) that lets delivery leadership make Day-1-versus-Day-2 tradeoffs with real numbers.
  • Close out projects with as-built schedules and cost records complete enough to hold up under an owner audit and feed the next build's baseline.
What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • 4+ years of hands-on P6 CPM scheduling and cost controls as the person building and owning the schedule, not managing a vendor who does.
  • Greenfield hyperscale or data center build experience, or comparably complex construction programs of $500M or more.
  • Expert in Primavera P6, Bluebeam, and the MS Suite; you can rebuild a broken schedule logic network yourself, not just review one.
  • A track record you can quantify: dollars saved, days compressed, milestones pulled in, with the numbers to prove it.
  • You communicate concisely and defend schedule decisions under scrutiny, in writing and in the room with GCs and executives.
  • You compress schedules instead of padding them; you can articulate what has to be true for Day 1 versus what can wait for Day 2.
  • Based in Austin or willing to relocate, and authorized to work in the US without sponsorship or visa transfer.
  • Bonus: direct experience on hyperscaler data center programs or with a tier-one GC delivering them.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
