• Working proficiency in SQL and experience extracting, cleaning, transforming, joining, and reconciling data from multiple systems; familiarity with APIs or workflow-automation tools is beneficial.
• Strong knowledge of construction controls, including CPM schedules, work breakdown structures, cost codes, budgets, commitments, change management, earned value, productivity, procurement, and forecasting.
• Ability to interpret project data across electrical, air-cooled mechanical, and civil/structural scopes from design and procurement through installation, testing, commissioning, and turnover.
• Demonstrated ability to establish data definitions, perform quality checks, document calculation logic, maintain traceability, and produce accurate, audit-ready reporting.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into concise findings, clear visualizations, and practical actions for field teams and executive stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

• Prior experience supporting hyperscale, AI, or HPC data center construction, including multi-building programs and work adjacent to live mission-critical systems.
• Experience with Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, ERP or cost-control systems, and commissioning or digital-turnover platforms.
• Experience using Python, R, cloud data platforms, version control, or automated data pipelines to improve reporting efficiency and reliability.
• Familiarity with the sequencing and readiness requirements of electrical power systems, air-cooled mechanical systems, site civil infrastructure, structural construction, and integrated commissioning.

Other Important Requirements

• Pre-employment screening, including background check and substance testing may be required according to company policies.
• Must provide own steel-toed work boots; other PPE will be supplied.
• Must be able to reliably commute to the work site daily or have plans to relocate before starting work.

• Analyze schedule health, including critical and near-critical paths, float erosion, milestone variance, look-ahead constraints, progress trends, and recovery-plan performance; provide early warning of emerging delivery risks.
• Analyze budget, commitments, actual costs, estimate to complete, estimate at completion, cash flow, change exposure, and forecast variance in coordination with project controls, commercial, finance, and construction teams.
• Track electrical readiness from design release and long-lead procurement through installation, testing, and energization for major systems such as medium- and low-voltage distribution, generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS equipment, and busway.
• Track air-cooled mechanical readiness, including equipment release, delivery, installation, startup, controls integration, functional testing, and commissioning of ventilation, air-handling, cooling, and related heat-rejection systems.
• Track civil and structural progress across earthwork, grading, foundations, structural steel or precast erection, slabs, roads, underground utilities, building enclosure, and dry-in milestones.
