Senior Lead Planner and Scheduler

• Develops and maintains comprehensive project schedules and visual planning strategies for complex, multi-phase, and multi-campus initiatives, ensuring alignment with DPR and Crusoe organizational standards. 

• Leads development of Lease Schedules and iGMP / fGMP schedules from DPR / Crusoe templates — incorporating project attributes, site logistics, key milestones, Basis of Schedule (BOS) documentation, and Crusoe-specific reporting requirements. 

• Integrates critical planning inputs into the schedule including Design packages, Procurement (OFCI), EHS High Risk Activities (HRAs), Commissioning, DPR Family of Companies (FoC), and Trade Partner sequencing. 

• Maintains P6 schedule integrity across all planning levels (LOD 1–5) — from executive milestone maps through phase schedules and short-interval planning (SIP). 

• Coordinates weekly and bi-weekly schedule updates, data date management, and monthly reporting narratives per DPR and Crusoe contract requirements. 

• Analyzes project performance data and schedule indicators to forecast risks, develop mitigation strategies, and support informed decision-making across the account. 

• Monitors schedule health metrics through PSPP dashboards; identifies and escalates variances, critical path changes, and risk areas to the Account Planning Leader. 

• Supports the Milestone Alignment Planning (MAP) process — facilitating sessions with owners, design teams, and trade partners to commit to and document key milestone conditions. 

• Facilitates structured schedule handoffs to Program or JV schedule leads — documenting WBS structure, LBS conventions, milestone commitments, and DPR scope responsibilities. 

• Maintains coordination with JV schedule leads during execution — aligning DPR's update cycle, constraint log, and production reporting with the JV master schedule. 

• Establishes and enforces consistent scheduling standards, WBS and LBS structures, activity codes, and update workflows across all active Crusoe campuses. 

• Performs Change Order and Time Impact Analyses (TIA) as schedule conditions evolve. 

• Provides technical guidance and coaching to campus-level planners and schedulers on P6 workflows, scheduling standards, and SMP requirements. 

• Leads post-phase and post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement across the account. 

• Supports MAP and pull planning sessions; provides support for phase planning and Short Interval Planning (SIP); prepares schedules and supporting inputs for Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) and Planning Risk Workshops; and documents the overall planning, sequencing, and risk mitigation approach in the schedule management plan. 

Secondary Responsibilities 

The Sr. Lead Planner & Scheduler is actively engaged across the full Crusoe campus lifecycle, with a priority focus on front-end planning. The following outlines specific role expectations for early campus planning efforts: 

Lease Schedule Development  —  Develop 1st Schedule 

• Attend precon planning meetings to capture project attributes, owner milestones, and delivery strategy. 

• Ensure completion of the early schedule checklist prior to building the first schedule. 

• Build (or provide input to) the Crusoe lease schedule from DPR standard templates. 

• Align with Crusoe on key milestones, project attributes, and schedule basis assumptions. 

• Communicate schedules, BOS reports, and visual deliverables to campus team and account leadership. 

• Coordinate field planner alignment across campus teams to ensure schedule logic reflects field intentions. 

• Engage the visual planning team for site logistics plans and flow-of-work maps. 

• Engage trades including Family of Companies (FoC) for scope, crew, and duration input. 

• Build schedule from templates with standard WBS and LBS structure consistent with account coding. 

GMP Schedule Development  —  Develop iGMP / fGMP's 

• Develop and update the iGMP and fGMP project schedule from the established lease schedule baseline. 

• Document Basis of Schedule (BOS) assumptions and produce Critical Reports including milestone narratives. 

• Create visual controls for site logistics, sequence, and overall campus flow. 

• Integrate Crusoe template requirements and align with Crusoe reporting systems. 

• Develop production flow and benchmark assumptions for key scope areas and SPW. 

• Engage trade partners and align on sequencing, crew assumptions, handoffs, and contractual commitments. 

• Capture all critical integrations: Design packages, Procurement (OFCI), EHS / HRAs, Commissioning, and DPR FoC. 

• Validate schedule logic with campus planning leads and field superintendents prior to baseline. 

Handoff to Program or JV Schedule Lead  —  Onboard and Transfer Ownership 

• Onboard program or JV scheduler to DPR system, schedule structure, WBS and LBS conventions. 

• Support Crusoe integrations and align DPR reporting with program-level reporting requirements. 

• Support weekly schedule updates as needed during the transition period. 

• Support weekly reporting cadence with the program team to ensure continuity. 

• Document schedule basis, open assumptions, constraints, and identified risks for the incoming schedule lead. 

• Facilitate a structured handoff of WBS, LBS, milestone commitments, and DPR scope responsibilities. 

• Ensure continuity of the constraint log and roadblock management process across the transition. 

Mobilize  —  Field Execution Begins 

• Transition campus schedule ownership to the site planning team with documented handoff package. 

• Ensure the Schedule Management Plan (SMP) is active and aligned with the field execution plan. 

• Confirm P6 update workflow and reporting cadence are operational and understood by the campus team. 

• Provide ongoing coaching and support to the campus scheduler as needed throughout execution. 

Education Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related field; or equivalent experience . 

Work Experience 

• 6–8 years of experience in project planning and scheduling, or a related field, . 

• Demonstrated experience developing and managing Level 3 CPM schedules on large, complex, or multi-phase construction programs . 

• Experience with hyperscale data center, advanced technology, or mission-critical project types preferred. 

• Proficiency in Oracle Primavera P6 required; experience with Primavera Cloud, Synchro, and ACC preferred. 

• Familiarity with Lean Construction methods and Last Planner System® and model-based visual planning workflows preferred. 

Certifications and Licenses 

• Project Management Professional (PMP) or Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP) certification preferred.
