Legacy Professional Services is seeking a Lead Scheduler to lead scheduling and project controls activities for hyperscale data center construction projects.

In this role, you'll oversee the development and management of integrated master schedules while providing leadership and direction to a team of Project Schedulers.

You'll be responsible for maintaining schedule integrity across complex, fast-track projects, identifying critical path and schedule risks, driving recovery strategies, and providing project leadership with clear and actionable schedule information. You'll also establish consistent scheduling practices, review the work of other schedulers, and help develop the scheduling team.

• Provide day-to-day leadership, direction, and technical guidance to Project Schedulers supporting assigned projects or programs.
• Review scheduler work products for accuracy, schedule logic, consistency, completeness, and compliance with project scheduling standards.
• Establish and maintain scheduling standards, processes, reporting requirements, and best practices across the scheduling team.
• Build and oversee detailed schedules covering design, procurement, site development, core and shell construction, MEP systems, IT infrastructure, commissioning, and owner turnover.
• Integrate subcontractor, vendor, procurement, commissioning, and owner schedules into the overall project schedule.
• Incorporate long-lead equipment procurement, delivery, installation, startup, and testing activities into project schedules to protect critical milestones.
• Perform and oversee Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis, schedule health reviews, and assessment of float, logic, constraints, and critical path integrity.
• Analyze subcontractor and vendor schedules and challenge sequencing, durations, logic, manpower assumptions, and schedule impacts when appropriate.
• Monitor key data center milestones, including mechanical completion, energization, equipment startup, commissioning, Integrated Systems Testing (IST), Ready for Service (RFS), phased turnover, and final completion.
• Identify schedule risks, delays, and emerging trends and work with project teams to develop mitigation and recovery strategies.
• Lead Time Impact Analyses (TIA), schedule scenario planning, and recovery schedule development when required.
• Lead schedule review meetings, pull-planning sessions, collaborative planning workshops, and other schedule-focused discussions with project stakeholders.
• Support Earned Value Management (EVM), schedule performance reporting, KPI dashboards, forecasting, and executive-level project updates.
• Prepare and communicate schedule narratives, milestone reports, critical path analysis, look-ahead information, and schedule risk assessments to project leadership.
• Coordinate closely with construction, MEP, QA/QC, commissioning, procurement, and project controls teams to ensure schedule alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
• Mentor and develop Project Schedulers, providing coaching and feedback to strengthen technical capabilities and overall team performance.
• Support program leadership with resource planning and scheduling priorities across multiple projects, buildings, phases, or workstreams.
