Project Controls

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Run cost and productivity tracking against budget and baseline, surfacing variances with the data to back them before they become claims or slips.
• Drive schedule compression on the critical path, quantifying every recovery option in days and dollars rather than padding buffers.
• Lead schedule reviews with GC and trade partner schedulers, challenging float sequestration, bad logic, and optimistic durations before they get baselined.
• Build the reporting cadence (look-aheads, earned value, milestone dashboards) that lets delivery leadership make Day-1-versus-Day-2 tradeoffs with real numbers.
• 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.
