Lead Scheduler, Pre-Construction (Data Centers)

You know how to translate design progress, procurement lead times, and permitting timelines into a defensible baseline schedule — and you know how to defend it in front of leadership, general contractors, and design teams alike.

10+ years of scheduling experience supporting large-scale, mission-critical, or hyperscale construction programs; data center experience strongly preferred

Demonstrated field construction experience supporting active projects, with a strong understanding of site operations, construction sequencing, trade coordination, and the practical execution of work in the field.

Strong understanding of data center or mission-critical construction sequencing, including long-lead equipment procurement and utility/permitting dependencies

Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical drawings and specifications

Familiarity with hyperscale owner standards and specifications (e.g., programs supporting large technology or cloud infrastructure clients).

Own the development of pre-construction schedules for new data center builds, integrating design milestones, permitting and entitlement timelines, procurement lead times (especially OFCI / long-lead electrical and mechanical equipment), and early works packages

Lead schedule risk analysis during pre-construction, identifying critical path drivers, schedule float erosion, and sequencing conflicts before contracts are awarded

Coordinate long-lead procurement tracking (switchgear, generators, chillers, transformers, and other critical equipment) and integrate delivery milestones into the master schedule

Support the transition from pre-construction to construction by ensuring a validated, buy-in baseline schedule is handed off to the on-site construction team

Track entitlement, permitting, utility interconnection, and site development milestones that impact the overall program timeline

Collaborate with Cost/Project Controls teams to ensure schedule and budget remain aligned throughout the pre-construction phase.
