Planner / Scheduler

Hut 8•Corpus Christi, TX

5h•Onsite

About The Position

The Planner / Scheduler builds and maintains the integrated project schedule for a data center build, with regular progress updates and rigorous analysis of critical path, slippage, and recovery scenarios. On a program where energization dates carry commercial commitments, the schedule isn't an artifact - it's the project's operating instrument, and this role keeps it honest.

Requirements

6+ years of planning/scheduling on large capital projects; data center, power, or heavy industrial strongly preferred.
Expert-level Primavera P6: multi-thousand-activity programs, resource/cost loading, and baseline management.
Schedule quality rigor - DCMA-style health checks, logic auditing, and an allergy to open ends and soft constraints.
Experience integrating and challenging contractor and vendor schedules, including defending your critical path against theirs.
Strong analytical and narrative skills: leadership reads your critical-path story, not the XER.
Comfortable walking the site and pulling progress directly from superintendents and trade partners.

Nice To Haves

Commissioning-phase scheduling experience in mission-critical delivery a significant plus.
Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or related field preferred.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain the integrated P6 schedule spanning engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, with logic that reflects real delivery: submittal-to-fabrication chains, delivery-to-installation ties, water-tightness gates, and Cx prerequisite sequences.
Run the progress cycle: field walk-downs and progress capture with superintendents, partner schedule updates, and monthly re-baselining governance. Challenge optimistic progress claims with installed-quantity evidence.
Analyze critical and near-critical paths, float erosion, and slippage drivers every cycle. Model recovery scenarios and what-ifs (resequencing, added shifts, early-release packages) with cost/feasibility input from the PM and superintendents, and present options leadership can actually choose between.
Integrate and interrogate GC/EPC and major vendor schedules: audit logic and durations, test milestone credibility, and hold partners to schedule-basis commitments. Own the delivery-date interface with the Logistics & Expediting Manager.
Build the Level 1-5 commissioning schedule with the CXQC Field Manager - system-by-system, with realistic vendor technician and utility dependencies - and protect it from construction compression.
Produce schedule health reporting that drives decisions: lookaheads, milestone trend charts, float consumption, and a written critical-path narrative for the weekly and monthly rhythm.
