• Take ownership of schedule logic, work breakdown structure, calendars, baselines, constraints, float management, and critical path analysis.

• Define scheduling standards, coding structures, and governance practices that support consistent project controls across the program.

• Review and challenge schedules submitted by contractors, consultants, suppliers, and delivery partners to confirm accuracy and alignment.

• Assess logic links, activity durations, interfaces, and dependencies to ensure external schedules are reliable before incorporation into the master plan.

• Lead recurring schedule updates, progress tracking sessions, and status reviews to maintain visibility into current performance.

• Measure actual progress against baseline commitments and prepare variance reporting, trend analysis, and milestone forecasting.

• Identify developing schedule risks, evaluate recovery options, and recommend acceleration or mitigation strategies to protect key dates.

• Create near-term and mid-range look-ahead schedules while incorporating long-lead procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and on-site delivery requirements.

Qualifications:

Data center experience is strongly preferred.

• Advanced experience using Primavera P6 to develop, maintain, and analyze complex integrated project schedules.

• Strong background in project controls, schedule governance, baseline management, and critical path methodology.

• Proven ability to evaluate third-party schedules and independently validate logic, sequencing, and forecast reliability.

• Experience supporting large-scale programs involving construction, infrastructure, procurement, commissioning, and operational readiness.

• Solid understanding of progress measurement, variance analysis, trend reporting, and schedule risk identification.

• Ability to communicate schedule impacts, milestone outlook, and recovery strategies clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

• Knowledge of operations management, logistics coordination, purchasing processes, and warehouse-related planning activities.
