About the Role

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants.

The Capacity Delivery Program Team turns signed capacity commitments into energized, GPU-ready data centers on dates our customers have already bet their roadmaps on. The team is working on key problems such as building and maintaining integrated CPM schedules, finding and closing schedule compression opportunities, and tracking cost and field productivity against baselines.

Responsibilities

• Own the P6 CPM schedule for one or more greenfield data center builds, from baseline through closeout, with logic tight enough to survive scrutiny from GCs, owners, and executives.
• Run cost and productivity tracking against budget and baseline, surfacing variances with the data to back them before they become claims or slips.
• Drive schedule compression on the critical path, quantifying every recovery option in days and dollars rather than padding buffers.
• Lead schedule reviews with GC and trade partner schedulers, challenging float sequestration, bad logic, and optimistic durations before they get baselined.
• Build the reporting cadence (look-aheads, earned value, milestone dashboards) that lets delivery leadership make Day-1-versus-Day-2 tradeoffs with real numbers.
• Close out projects with as-built schedules and cost records complete enough to hold up under an owner audit and feed the next build's baseline.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on P6 CPM scheduling and cost controls as the person building and owning the schedule, not managing a vendor who does.
• Greenfield hyperscale or data center build experience, or comparably complex construction programs of $500M or more.
• Expert in Primavera P6, Bluebeam, and the MS Suite; you can rebuild a broken schedule logic network yourself, not just review one.
• A track record you can quantify: dollars saved, days compressed, milestones pulled in, with the numbers to prove it.
• You communicate concisely and defend schedule decisions under scrutiny, in writing and in the room with GCs and executives.
• You compress schedules instead of padding them; you can articulate what has to be true for Day 1 versus what can wait for Day 2.
• Based in Austin or willing to relocate, and authorized to work in the US without sponsorship or visa transfer.

Qualifications

Bonus: direct experience on hyperscaler data center programs or with a tier-one GC delivering them.
