Job Description

Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Senior Scheduler to join our data center team for a major construction project onsite in Rayville, Louisiana. This position requires onsite presence Monday–Friday in Rayville, LA. Local candidates or those open to relocation are preferred, but a per diem is available for those unable to relocate. This role requires someone who can step in quickly, operate in a fast‑paced data center environment, and support both project-level scheduling and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) coordination with minimal ramp‑up.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, demonstrates initiative and strong follow‑through, and can proactively manage deliverables while maintaining effective relationships with both client and general contractor teams.

• Regular travel to the construction site is expected.
• Effectively work with stakeholders, clients, contractors and subcontractors on a daily basis.
• Develop and maintain detailed “end to end” construction program schedules using Primavera P6 and Tableau for multi‑project/programmatic environments.
• Ensure that schedule‑related data from vendors, suppliers, engineering and construction contractors of actual projects is provided as feedback into the planning and scheduling systems.
• Implement project planning & scheduling strategy, plans and procedures, reflecting both company and contractor roles, responsibilities and expectations.
• Actively work with project managers, construction firms and subcontractor firms as necessary to maintain schedule integrity.
• Provide interface and quality assurance to project functional groups and contractors regarding the tracking and reporting of schedule performance.
• Coordinate and organize multiple sources of schedule inputs/performance data into a master schedule platform and deliver project/program status reports as required.
• Prepare and update progress reports as required by the client, including the integrated planning/scheduling contribution to the monthly project report and specific reports/presentations.
• Produce high‑level and 1, 3, 6‑month look‑ahead from P6 for reporting.
• Perform probabilistic/trend analysis on integrated schedules and contractor schedules.
• Actively monitor and communicate any possible project issues that could delay the schedule.
• Conduct the required project schedule analysis, critical path analysis and schedule risk analysis for the project and holistic program.
• Analyze deviations from the baseline in the project master schedule, highlighting bottlenecks/delays and proposing corrective actions, and highlighting the overall schedule impact of any variance/change order.
• SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.

• Proximity to Monroe, LA (or willingness to travel) – 5 days a week on project in Rayville, LA.
• Strong Primavera P6 experience, including baseline development, updates, variance and critical path analysis, and reporting.
• Experience supporting or maintaining an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).
• Mission‑critical or data center construction experience (strongly preferred).
• Experience with vertical building construction (GC or owner‑side), including commissioning, turnover, and closeout sequencing.
• Solid understanding of MEP systems, construction sequencing, and system start‑up dependencies.
• Background in Project Controls is beneficial.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with client‑side and general contractor teams.
• Ability to produce detailed concept‑level schedules from limited information and manage multiple schedule inputs.
• Proficiency with Tableau and advanced Excel skills for schedule analysis, progress tracking, and reporting.
• Experience with Power BI for dashboarding, schedule performance, or trend analysis.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‑management skills.
• BS degree in Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• PSP (AACE) and/or EIT certification preferred.

* On‑site presence and requirements may change depending on our client’s needs.
