Job 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.
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.
Required Qualification:
- 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.
