About the Role

We're looking for a Director, Planning and Scheduling to lead the scheduling function for our data centre construction delivery. You'll own the development, integration, and maintenance of a master program schedule that consolidates inputs from multiple general contractors, trade contractors, and equipment suppliers across the full construction lifecycle.

You'll be the central authority on schedule health, critical path analysis, and risk exposure across site development, shell and core, mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) fit-out, and commissioning scopes that support our data centre capacity delivery. You'll partner closely with program leadership, project controls, construction management, and contractor teams to ensure on-time turnover of data halls and supporting infrastructure, and you'll travel extensively (up to 75%) to contractor offices and job sites to validate progress and drive alignment first-hand.

What You'll be Doing

Schedule Integration - Develop and maintain an integrated master program schedule (IMS) that consolidates individual contractor schedules — general contractors, MEP trade contractors, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents — into a single source of truth - Establish and enforce schedule architecture standards, coding structures, and level-of-detail requirements across all contractors to enable consistent roll-up and integration - Identify and manage interfaces, dependencies, and hand-offs across the construction sequence (e.g., site/civil to structural, structural to shell, shell to MEP rough-in, MEP to commissioning and IT load turnover) - Administer LoadSpring-hosted Primavera P6 environments to ensure secure, centralized access for all contractor schedulers contributing to the integrated master schedule

Analysis & Reporting - Perform critical path method (CPM) analysis to identify drivers of program duration, float erosion, and schedule risk - Conduct schedule quality reviews (e.g., DCMA 14-point checks or equivalent) on contractor submittals and drive corrective action - Leverage SmartPM analytics to automate schedule health diagnostics, benchmark contractor performance, and detect trends in slippage, compression, and logic changes across submittals - Produce regular schedule performance reporting (look-aheads, trend/variance analysis, earned schedule metrics) for program leadership and executive stakeholders - Lead schedule risk analysis, including Monte Carlo simulation where applicable, to quantify confidence levels on key milestones (building enclosure, MEP rough-in complete, commissioning start, data hall turnover)

Contractor Management - Establish schedule submission requirements, update cadences, and reporting standards within contracts and scope documents - Review and validate contractor-submitted schedules for logic, resource loading, and alignment to contractual milestones - Facilitate schedule integration workshops and interface meetings with multiple general contractors and trade partners to resolve conflicts and align sequencing - Hold contractors accountable to committed dates and support recovery planning when schedules slip - Conduct regular on-site visits to contractor offices and active construction sites to validate reported progress against field conditions

Program Support & Governance - Partner with project controls, cost, and construction teams to align schedule with budget and resource plans - Advise program leadership on schedule risks,

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
