Senior Lead Planner and Scheduler

Sr. Lead Planner & Scheduler

The Sr. Lead Planner & Scheduler delivers dedicated planning and scheduling expertise across all active Crusoe campuses throughout the full project lifecycle, with a strong focus on early planning.

The role serves as the technical backbone of the Integrated Planning & Scheduling Leadership Team, ensuring each campus begins with a reliable, well‑structured schedule grounded in DPR standards, Crusoe reporting requirements, and an integrated delivery strategy.

• Lead the development and optimization of complex project schedules across multiple campuses and programs.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to align advanced planning and scheduling strategies with enterprise‑wide priorities.
• Drive consistency in scheduling practices, tools, and deliverables across the account.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive project schedules and visual planning strategies for multi‑phase, multi‑campus initiatives, ensuring alignment with DPR and Crusoe standards.
• Create lease schedules and iGMP/fGMP schedules from DPR/Crusoe templates, incorporating project attributes, site logistics, key milestones, Basis of Schedule (BOS) documentation, and reporting requirements.
• Integrate critical planning inputs—including Design packages, Procurement (OFCI), EHS High Risk Activities (HRAs), Commissioning, and trade partner sequencing—into the schedule.
• Maintain P6 schedule integrity across all planning levels (LOD1–5) from executive milestone maps through phase schedules and short‑interval planning.
• Coordinate weekly and bi‑weekly schedule updates, data‑date management, and monthly reporting narratives per DPR and Crusoe contract requirements.
• Analyze project performance data and schedule indicators to forecast risks, develop mitigation strategies, and support informed decision‑making across the account.
• Monitor schedule health metrics through PSPP dashboards, identifying and escalating variances, critical path changes, and risk areas to the Account Planning Leader.
• Support the Milestone Alignment Planning (MAP) process, facilitating sessions with owners, design teams, and trade partners to commit to and document key milestone conditions.
• Facilitate structured schedule handoffs to Program or JV schedule leads, documenting WBS structure, LBS conventions, milestone commitments, and DPR scope responsibilities.
• Work with JV schedule leads during execution to align update cycles, constraint logs, and production reporting with the JV master schedule.
• Establish and enforce consistent scheduling standards, WBS and LBS structures, activity codes, and workflow across all active Crusoe campuses.
• Perform Change Order and Time Impact Analyses (TIA) as schedule conditions evolve.
• Provide technical guidance and coaching to campus‑level planners and schedulers on P6 workflows, scheduling standards, and SMP requirements.
• Lead post‑phase and post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement across the account.
• Support MAP and pull planning sessions; provide support for phase planning and Short Interval Planning (SIP); prepare schedules and inputs for Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) and Planning Risk Workshops; and document the overall planning, sequencing, and risk mitigation approach in the schedule management plan.

  6–8 years in project planning and scheduling, or a related field, required.
• Demonstrated experience developing and managing Level3 CPM schedules on large, complex, or multi‑phase construction programs.
• Experience with hyperscale data center, advanced technology, or mission‑critical project types preferred.
• Proficiency in Oracle Primavera P6 required; experience with Primavera Cloud, Synchro, and ACC preferred.
• Familiarity with Lean Construction methods and Last Planner System and model‑based visual planning workflows preferred.
