About The Position

Montera is seeking a Senior Director, Scheduling and Planning to build and lead the company's scheduling program.

This is a builder's leadership role focused on creating and leading the program, rather than simply running schedules.

The Senior Director will own Montera's integrated master schedules, define schedule OKRs, and hold general contractors and vendors accountable for schedule commitments. The role partners with senior leadership to set direction and with project teams to foster acceleration and proactive risk management across projects.

Montera is a founder-led digital infrastructure company backed by $1.5 billion from Stonepeak. It develops and operates hyperscale data centers, emphasizing speed, reliability, scalability, operational excellence, safety, integrity, client alignment, and an ownership mentality. The company describes itself as remote-first and offers flexibility, ownership, and meaningful rewards.

• Track record of building and leading a scheduling program, rather than only running schedules, with the ability to set direction, influence senior leaders, and partner across the organization.

• Experience managing schedules or schedule teams for large megaprojects valued at $1 billion or more, focused on complex electrical and mechanical systems and commissioning.

• Own the scheduling playbook, including program-level standards, tools and systems, master-schedule structure, standard milestones, schedule hygiene, data quality, and integration with cost and reporting.
• Lead scheduling vendors and hold them accountable to Montera's standards and deliverables; communicate the company's mission and delivery priorities to internal teams and external partners alongside senior leadership.

• Hold general contractors and vendors accountable for monthly schedule updates and deliverables, including schedule quality, logic, and alignment with the master schedule.
• Own OFCI procurement controls by setting required-on-job (ROJ) dates, ensuring vendor commitment and delivery dates support the schedule, managing equipment risk, and evaluating delay claims and commercial exposure from schedule changes.

• Define leading and lagging KPIs, including on-time milestone delivery, and run performance reviews and lessons-learned activities with internal teams and partners.
