About the role
About Overwatch ConstructionOverwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the national veterans business development council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor for the mission-critical infrastructure industry. Our mission is the construction and management of state-of-the-art data centers with the precision and reliability this industry demands. From high-end engineers to seasoned professionals, we deploy the people you need to get your data center off the ground. At Overwatch, it's more than a job. It's purpose.
Role Overview: The Strategic Scheduler (EPS)The EPS is the "source of truth" for the project timeline. Unlike a passive scheduler who just enters data, this is a leadership and auditing role. You are responsible for ensuring the GC’s schedule is technically sound, realistic, and fully integrated with Google’s internal milestones from design through to final commissioning.
What we are looking for1. Technical Mastery & Auditing (The "Police" Function)
2. Proactive Risk Mitigation (The "Early Warning System")
3. Cross-Functional Integration
4. Performance & Financial Reporting
Driver’s License Requirement:For roles that require on-site presence or travel between work locations as an essential function of the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate for the role and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle in accordance with applicable laws.
Communication Skills:Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in a professional work environment, including preparing written reports and documentation, conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to verbal and written communications related to job duties.
Physical Requirements and Work EnvironmentThis position operates primarily in an active data center construction environment, encompassing both indoor and outdoor work settings. The role requires the physical ability to perform essential job functions safely and effectively in a dynamic environment that includes ongoing construction activity and evolving site conditions.
The work environment includes areas and temporary structures owned, leased, or controlled by third parties over which Overwatch may have limited or no contr

You are responsible for ensuring the GC’s schedule is technically sound, realistic, and fully integrated with Google’s internal milestones from design through to final commissioning.
What we are looking for1. Technical Mastery & Auditing (The "Police" Function)
- P6 Expertise: You must be an expert in Primavera P6.
- Schedule Health: You aren't just looking at dates; you are auditing the "health" of the schedule using DCMA 14-Point assessments (checking for broken logic, excessive leads/lags, and unrealistic constraints).
- Baseline Management: You own the process of reviewing and "signing off" on the GC’s baseline to ensure it meets strict contract specifications.
2. Proactive Risk Mitigation (The "Early Warning System")
- Critical Path Analysis: You must identify not only the Critical Path but also the Near-Critical Paths and periods of "peak resource consumption" (where the project is most at risk of slowing down).
- Trend Analysis: You perform independent bi-weekly forecasts to predict delays before they happen and propose recovery/mitigation plans.
- "What-If" Scenarios: You support Supply Scenario Analysis (SSA) to model how changes in material delivery or labor might impact the finish date.
3. Cross-Functional Integration
- End-to-End Scope: You ensure the schedule includes more than just "sticks and bricks"—it must capture design, funding (fEP), Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE), and the complex Commissioning (Cx) phases.
- The Bridge: You facilitate interactive planning sessions between the GC, Project Managers, and Google’s internal teams to ensure everyone is aligned on the same dates.
4. Performance & Financial Reporting
- Earned Value Management (EVM): You use the schedule to measure "work-in-place" to help estimate monthly pay applications and cash flow.
- Field Verification: You don’t just sit behind a desk; you perform field walks to verify that the progress the GC claims on paper actually matches what is happening on-site.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hyperscale/Data Center Experience: Ability to manage the IMS/MMS/PBS (Integrated/Master/Project) schedule concepts.
- Communication Skills: You must be comfortable "driving adherence" with GCs and giving "early warnings" to senior leadership.
- Data-Driven Mindset: High proficiency in tactical reporting (Narratives, Milestone reports, and Slipbug processes).
