Job Title: Senior P6 Planner/Scheduler (Data Center Construction)

Company: AcceleratedPM

Job Type: Full-time or Contract (1099/W2 options available)

Job Location: Hobart, Indiana

Work Schedule: Hybrid (2-3 days per week on site)

AcceleratedPM is seeking a Scheduler/Planner to support delivery of a large multi-building data center campus in Hobart, Indiana. This role will support schedule development, maintenance, and schedule management in Primavera P6 for major sitework, six staggered core-and-shell data center buildings, and associated campus support facilities. The assignment requires a scheduler who understands real construction sequencing, can work directly with field teams and trade partners, and can turn incomplete or overly high-level planning inputs into a disciplined, logic-driven, executable schedule.

This is not a passive reporting role. The successful candidate will help drive schedule clarity, trade coordination, progress measurement, look-ahead planning, and schedule-based decision support across a fast-moving project environment with multiple subcontractors, procurement interfaces, and phased building releases.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and status detailed Primavera P6 schedules for sitework, core-and-shell building construction, and associated campus support buildings.
• Build logic-driven schedules that reflect actual construction sequencing, procurement lead times, access constraints, turnover strategy, utility interfaces, and subcontractor handoffs.
• Support schedule development for a campus consisting of multiple data center buildings delivered on a staggered basis, with overlapping site, structural, envelope, interior, and MEP activities.
• Lead routine schedule coordination with project management, superintendents, field engineers, and subcontractors to confirm progress, validate remaining work, and secure commitments for upcoming activities.
• Produce and maintain actionable look-ahead schedules, including near-term coordination windows and longer-range forecasts.
• Identify and communicate critical path and near-critical path issues, sequencing conflicts, procurement risks, and recovery opportunities.
• Support baseline development, revisions, and change management by documenting logic changes, scope changes, and evolving constraints.
• Help implement disciplined progress measurement methods, including quantity-based, milestone-based, and installation-based statusing as appropriate to the work.
• Support cost-loaded schedule development and maintenance where required, including alignment between schedule activities, payment structure, and progress reporting.
• Prepare weekly schedule narratives, dashboards, and update materials for project reviews and client-facing reporting.
• Maintain schedule integrity and governance, including calendars, coding, constraints discipline, logic quality, progress rules, and general schedule health.
• Coordinate closely with project controls, cost management, and field leadership to ensure schedule outputs are decision-useful and operationally credible.
• Perform field verification when needed to validate physical progress, turnover readiness, and reported percent complete.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• 10+ years of planning and scheduling experience in commercial, industrial, mission-critical, or large-scale construction environments.
• Strong hands-on Primavera P6 capability, including schedule development, updates, logic ties, calendars, coding, layouts, baseline control, and schedule QA/QC.
• Solid understanding of construction means and methods across civil, structural, building enclosure, interior buildout, and MEP coordination.
• Proven ability to work directly with field teams and subcontractors and challenge unrealistic durations, poor sequencing, or unsupported assumptions.
• Experience producing clear schedule narratives, variance explanations, and recovery options for project leadership.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to operate credibly in both trailer and executive settings.
• Ability to work in an active construction environment and travel to the project site as required.

Preferred but Not Required Skills:

• Experience with Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) and/or Primavera P6 in active construction environments.
• Familiarity with data center or mission-critical construction scheduling.
• Experience supporting pull planning, collaborative phase planning, and trade-facing short-interval planning.
• Ability to translate field planning outcomes into logic-driven master schedules, look-aheads, and update narratives.
• Experience with cost-loaded schedules, progress measurement, and schedule reporting.

Salary: $150 - $165k

Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package, including 401(k), health and dental insurance, and PTO.
