プロジェクトスケジューラー/ Project Scheduler

A leading developer and operator of large-scale data centers is looking for a Project Scheduler. The chosen applicant will be responsible for leading planning and schedule control for large-scale, mission-critical data center development projects. This is a remote role.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain integrated master schedules for multiple concurrent data center development projects
• Consolidate design, procurement, construction, commissioning, fit-out, and operational readiness schedules
• Integrate contractor, consultant, equipment vendor, and delivery partner schedules into the overall project program
• Establish dependencies between project phases, work packages, and key project milestones
• Review schedule logic, sequencing, durations, calendars, constraints, and assumptions
• Maintain baseline, forecast, and actual schedules throughout the project lifecycle
• Develop detailed schedules covering design, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover
• Define project milestones, work breakdown structures, activities, relationships, and completion criteria
• Incorporate authority approvals, utility connections, long-lead equipment, and customer delivery requirements
• Perform critical-path and near-critical-path analysis to identify schedule bottlenecks and potential delays
• Analyse float consumption, milestone movement, and changes to activity sequencing
• Evaluate the schedule impact of design changes, late decisions, procurement delays, and construction issues
• Conduct schedule scenario analysis to support project decision-making and risk mitigation
• Develop schedule risk registers and mitigation strategies for critical delivery risks
• Monitor progress against approved baseline schedules and investigate schedule variances
• Verify actual progress, completion dates, remaining durations, and reported contractor performance against site conditions
• Review contractor recovery schedules and corrective action plans for feasibility and effectiveness
• Assess contractor and vendor schedules for quality, completeness, logic, resource assumptions, and contractual alignment
• Challenge unrealistic durations, excessive constraints, unsupported progress claims, and incomplete activity logic
• Review procurement schedules for critical and long-lead equipment from specification through delivery and installation
• Ensure vendor procurement and manufacturing schedules are fully integrated into the master project schedule
• Lead the implementation and standardisation of advanced project scheduling tools and methodologies
• Establish owner-controlled scheduling standards, work breakdown structures, coding systems, calendars, and schedule submission requirements
• Identify opportunities to reduce overall project duration through parallel activities, fast-track delivery, and optimised sequencing
• Develop early procurement and schedule-acceleration strategies for long-lead equipment and critical materials
• Evaluate alternative construction sequences and installation methodologies to improve project delivery
• Develop and monitor design schedules across architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, civil, and controls disciplines
• Monitor construction sequencing and schedule interfaces across general contractors, specialist subcontractors, and equipment vendors
• Integrate commissioning, testing, system completion, handover, and Ready for Service milestones into the overall project schedule
• Identify recurring schedule risks and recommend improvements to project planning, procurement, design, construction, and project controls processes

Requirements:

• Experience in project planning, project controls, construction planning, or project management
• Experience supporting large-scale construction, infrastructure, engineering, or mission-critical development projects
• Experience coordinating project schedules across design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover
• Demonstrated ability to develop, analyse, update, and control integrated project schedules
• Ability to review and challenge schedules submitted by contractors and vendors
• Strong understanding of critical-path methodology, scheduling logic, dependencies, float, constraints, and milestone management
• Experience identifying schedule risks and developing practical mitigation measures
• Professional level Japanese (JLPT N2+); business level English

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience in data center, mission-critical, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, advanced manufacturing, energy, or other technically complex projects
• Experience with large-scale data center developments, capacity expansions, or customer fit-out projects
• Experience supporting projects from early planning and proposal through construction and
  operational handover
• Experience using Primavera P6 on large-scale construction or infrastructure development projects
• Experience with other scheduling, reporting, business intelligence, or project controls tools
• Experience establishing scheduling standards or project controls processes
• Experience consolidating multiple contractor schedules into a program-level master schedule
• Experience reviewing extension-of-time requests, delay analysis, or schedule-related contractual claims
• Experience working from an owner, developer, client, or project management consultancy
  perspective
• Experience working with international project teams
• Basic knowledge of data center infrastructure, including building, electrical, power, cooling, and mechanical systems
• Strong proficiency in advanced scheduling software, particularly Primavera P6
• Familiarity with earned value, cost control, risk management, and change control
• Professional certification in planning, scheduling, or project management
