About the role
Role focused on owning the P6 CPM schedule and cost controls for greenfield data center builds within Fluidstack's Capacity Delivery Program, driving schedule compression, cost tracking, and reporting to executives and GCs.
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.
Qualifications
- 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.
- Bonus: direct experience on hyperscaler data center programs or with a tier-one GC delivering them.
