The Role

The Project Scheduler will be responsible for developing, maintaining and driving the project schedule across a complex ground-up data center build.

• Reviewing subcontractor schedules and integrating them into the master programme
• Supporting recovery planning and schedule mitigation strategies
• Monitoring progress against baseline schedules
• Producing schedule updates, reports, look-aheads and milestone tracking
• Supporting change management and assessing schedule impacts
• Coordinating with commissioning teams through startup, testing and turnover
• Ensuring project leadership has accurate and current schedule information

What We’re Looking For

• Recent data center or mission critical construction experience is essential
• Strong General Contractor or Construction Manager background
• Experience managing master schedules, critical path and schedule updates
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing across civil, structural, MEP and commissioning
• Confident dealing with senior clients, Project Executives and leadership teams
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Ability to challenge the project team and drive accountability
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
• Experience with recovery schedules, delay analysis and schedule risk
• Ability to work full-time on site in the Mobile, Alabama area
• This is an opportunity for an experienced Project Scheduler to take real ownership of the schedule on a major data center development and play a key role in driving project delivery.
• Candidates must have recent data center construction experience and be confident operating in a highly visible, client-facing position.
