Job description

The Planning and Scheduler - Data Center Infrastructure is a senior individual contributor responsible for building and managing the integrated master schedule (IMS) for large-scale OCI data center programs-from project initiation through GPU/rack handover . This role drives schedule predictability across a matrixed organization by aligning internal teams and external partners, maintaining critical path clarity, and proactively managing schedule risk to enable on-time, on-budget delivery. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

**This role is based in the El Paso, TX/Las Cruces, NM area and requires one to live in the area. Relocation assistance available.**

• Own and maintain the end-to-end integrated master schedule across multiple concurrent data center projects/programs.
• Establish and govern standard scheduling methodology (WBS structure, activity coding, calendar standards, baseline/change control).
• Drive critical path and near-critical path visibility; lead recovery planning and schedule optimization.
• Produce schedule performance reporting (milestone health, look-aheads, variance analysis, trend analysis, forecasts).
• Lead schedule-focused risk identification and mitigation , including scenario planning and what-if analysis.
• Coordinate schedule interfaces across functions: Site Acquisition, Design/Engineering, Construction, Telecom, Commissioning, Security, WAN, Energy, Operations , and vendor partners.
• Facilitate schedule governance forums (e.g., weekly/monthly reviews), ensuring clear actions, owners, and closure.

Core Responsibilities (What You'll Do Day-to-Day)

• Build and maintain detailed schedules including: design/package release milestones
• procurement/long-lead deliveries
• construction phases and turnover sequencing
• low-voltage/telecom integration points
• commissioning/test/certification gates
• rack readiness and GPU handover milestones

• Baseline schedules and manage change impacts (scope shifts, constraints, delays, vendor change orders) with transparent documentation.
• Develop rolling wave plans and 2-6 week look-aheads to support field execution.
• Ensure schedule logic quality: dependencies, constraints, float integrity, resource/loading assumptions (as applicable).
• Partner with PMs and functional leads to drive accountability to dates , resolve conflicts, and remove blockers.
• Maintain schedule data hygiene and ensure consistent reporting across regions/programs.

Required Qualifications

Education/Experience (one of the following): 5+ years of experience in construction project controls/scheduling/program scheduling, OR Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of relevant experience

• Demonstrated experience owning schedules for mission-critical or large capital programs (data centers, semiconductor, pharma, industrial, or similar).
• Strong working knowledge of CPM scheduling concepts: critical path, float, baselines, variance/trend analysis.
• Proficiency with enterprise scheduling tools such as Oracle Primavera P6 (or equivalent); strong Excel skills for analysis/reporting.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and influence outcomes in a matrixed organization (often without direct authority).
• Excellent communication skills-able to translate schedule insights into clear executive updates and actionable next steps.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience scheduling data center builds (including commissioning/turnover and rack readiness sequencing).
• Experience building portfolio-level schedules across multiple regions/sites with standardized codes and reporting.
• Familiarity with project controls disciplines beyond scheduling (cost, change control, risk management, earned value concepts).
• Certifications such as PMP , PMI-SP , PSP (AACE) , or equivalent.
• Experience with schedule risk analysis and/or tools/approaches (Monte Carlo, structured schedule risk registers).
• Prior experience working with colocation providers , general contractors, and specialty trades (including telecom/low-voltage).
