About the Role
The Senior Scheduler owns the programme dimension of every data centre opportunity, challenging proposed service dates and identifying the path to Ready for Service from day one. This role involves interrogating developer schedules, testing assumptions, validating critical paths, and translating complex programme risks into clear recommendations for client decision makers, providing independent schedule assurance throughout the pre-lease lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Conduct independent schedule due diligence on developer programmes, assessing logic, sequencing, durations, resource assumptions, critical path and milestone credibility.
- Develop and maintain independent programme assessments and route to Ready for Service for shortlisted opportunities.
- Validate cP activities and constraints across utilities, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, fit out and power energisation.
- Assess delivery readiness against required service dates and identify risks, constraints and opportunities to improve programme outcomes.
- Review procurement strategies and lead times for critical long lead equipment including transformers, switchgear, generators, cooling systems and associated infrastructure.
- Conduct schedule risk assessments and analysis, quantifying potential impacts to service date commitments.
- Establish and maintain programme assumptions, constraints, risks and mitigation strategies for each opportunity.
- Lead programme review and challenge sessions with developers, consultants and internal stakeholders to test schedule credibility.
- Define, monitor and report programme readiness milestones, ensuring commitments are measurable, realistic and contractually supportable.
- Support commercial negotiations by reviewing programme obligations, milestone definitions, longstop dates and schedule related lease provisions.
- Provide programme assurance, recommendations and executive reporting to support investment, site selection and commercial decision making.
- Monitor progress against committed milestones through the pre-lease lifecycle and ensure programme assumptions and risk positions are effectively transferred into delivery teams.
- Capture and maintain programme intelligence, benchmarks, actual durations and lessons learned to improve future assessments and market knowledge.
- Partner with deal teams to ensure programme considerations are fully integrated into client recommendations and project strategies.
Requirements
- Proven planning experience on data centre, power or major construction programmes.
- Expert Primavera P6 or equivalent, with genuine schedule-quality and risk analysis capability.
- Experience interrogating contractor and developer programmes rather than just maintaining them.
- Understanding of grid connection, permitting and commissioning sequences in their market.
- Clear communication of schedule risk to non-planners: clients, lawyers, executives.
- Local language capability a significant advantage.
Experience Level
