  • Risk & Change Management: Analyze schedule variances, float erosion and supply chain disruption (transformers, switchgear, generators, cooling plant and GPU deliveries), implementing rapid recovery plans and running what-if and scenario analysis to protect energization dates.
  • Executive Reporting: Communicate schedule health, confidence levels and capital phasing implications to the SVP – Data Center Delivery, executive leadership and the Board, with a single source of truth for delivery status.
  • Process Optimization: Continuously improve scheduling methodologies, work breakdown and coding standards, tools and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive predictability and velocity across the data center portfolio.
  • Contractor & Vendor Schedule Governance: Set and enforce the standard for schedule submissions, progress measurement and reporting by general contractors, EPCs and owner’s representatives, and validate contractor schedules against the IMS.
  • Capital Efficiency: Partner with Finance and Capital Projects to align the IMS with capex phasing, cash flow forecasting and earned value reporting.
