Fluidstack • Austin, TX

5d • $155,000 - $200,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI and is singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. The Capacity Delivery Program Team turns signed capacity commitments into energized, GPU-ready data centers on dates our customers have already bet their roadmaps on. This role will own the P6 CPM schedule for one or more greenfield data center builds, from baseline through closeout, with logic tight enough to survive scrutiny from GCs, owners, and executives. The role involves running cost and productivity tracking against budget and baseline, surfacing variances with data to back them before they become claims or slips. The individual will drive schedule compression on the critical path, quantifying every recovery option in days and dollars rather than padding buffers. They will lead schedule reviews with GC and trade partner schedulers, challenging float sequestration, bad logic, and optimistic durations before they get baselined. Additionally, they will build the reporting cadence (look-aheads, earned value, milestone dashboards) that lets delivery leadership make Day-1-versus-Day-2 tradeoffs with real numbers. Finally, they will close out projects with as-built schedules and cost records complete enough to hold up under an owner audit and feed the next build's baseline.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on P6 CPM scheduling and cost controls as the person building and owning the schedule, not managing a vendor who does.
• Greenfield hyperscale or data center build experience, or comparably complex construction programs of $500M or more.
• Expert in Primavera P6, Bluebeam, and the MS Suite; you can rebuild a broken schedule logic network yourself, not just review one.
• A track record you can quantify: dollars saved, days compressed, milestones pulled in, with the numbers to prove it.
• You communicate concisely and defend schedule decisions under scrutiny, in writing and in the room with GCs and executives.
• You compress schedules instead of padding them; you can articulate what has to be true for Day 1 versus what can wait for Day 2.
• Based in Austin or willing to relocate, and authorized to work in the US without sponsorship or visa transfer.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience on hyperscaler data center programs or with a tier-one GC delivering them.
