Planner Scheduler

Position Summary

The Planner/Scheduler is responsible for developing, maintaining, and analyzing integrated project schedules for large‑scale data center construction projects. This role ensures alignment across construction and commissioning activities, enabling predictable project delivery, risk mitigation, and optimized resource utilization. The Planner/Scheduler plays a critical role in supporting fast‑track, multi‑phase builds typical of mission‑critical facilities.

Develop and maintain detailed resource‑loaded Level 3–5 schedules using Primavera P6 or equivalent.

• Civil, structural, architectural
• MEP systems (electrical, mechanical, plumbing)
• Equipment installation (generators, UPS, switch gear, chillers)
• Commissioning & turnover sequences

Establish Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) aligned with project execution strategy.

Support performance of Schedule‑Cost Monte Carlo Analysis.

Develop schedules aligned with critical path for energization and commissioning
.

• Medium voltage distribution
• Backup power systems (generators, fuel systems)
• Cooling systems (chillers, CRAH/CRAC units)
• Integrate phased turnover / partial energization milestones

Maintain schedule updates with input from field teams, subcontractors, and engineering.

Perform critical path analysis, float analysis, and schedule risk assessments
.

• Weekly look‑aheads (2–6 week)
• Monthly progress updates
• Executive schedule dashboards
• Track progress against baseline and identify variances
• Perform site inspections to check and confirm progress reported

Interface with: construction managers and superintendents; engineering teams; procurement and logistics; subcontractors and vendors.

Facilitate schedule review meetings and pull planning sessions.

Identify schedule risks and develop mitigation strategies.

Support delay analysis and time impact analysis (TIA).

Maintain change logs and incorporate approved changes into schedule updates.

Assist with resource loading (labor, equipment, materials).

Support productivity tracking and forecasting.

Align schedule with site logistics and labor availability (“labor shed” considerations).
