The role stands up centralized schedule management as a service to the business — building the methodology, standards, data, and tooling from the ground up, then running that service across the portfolio. This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who has personally driven projects to completion and wants to build the function, not inherit it. Key Responsibilities Function Development & Centralized Schedule Management Establish and own the centralized scheduling function for Keel Infrastructure, defining its scope, service model, and interface with development, project management, project controls, procurement, and finance. Set up and manage the plan of record for every project in the portfolio, maintaining schedules centrally rather than leaving them distributed across contractors and project teams. Build the scheduling toolset and environment — enterprise structure, EPS/WBS hierarchy, coding dictionaries, calendars, layouts, and security — so schedules roll up cleanly from activity to portfolio level. Own execution planning alongside scheduling — define the work breakdown and packaging strategy, delivery sequencing logic, and phasing approach for each project before logic is built, so the schedule reflects a deliberate plan rather than a transcription of contractor intent. Maintain the multi-year portfolio delivery plan, sequencing projects against capital availability, resource capacity, and utility timing so development and finance plan against a single roadmap. Preconstruction & Concept Stage Scheduling Develop concept and feasibility-stage schedules for prospective sites, translating limited early information into credible, benchmark-backed duration and milestone assumptions. Model entitlement, permitting, utility interconnection, and power energization paths at concept stage, and quantify their impact on ready-for-service dates. Support site selection, capital planning, and investment approval with schedule scenarios, comparative site timelines, and sensitivity analysis. Delivery Stage Schedule Management Own the integrated master schedule through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operational turnover, maintaining continuity from the concept-stage baseline. Integrate contractor, vendor, A&E, utility, and long-lead equipment schedules into a single program plan, resolving interface conflicts across packages. Align the schedule to the commissioning plan and L0–L5 requirements to protect handover dates. Process, Procedure & Standards Development Author and roll out the scheduling processes, procedures, and templates used across the portfolio — baseline approval, update cycles, progress measurement, change control, and quality g
