Field Schedule Analyst - Data Center Construction
KALCON · Quinlan, Texas, United States
The Field Schedule Analyst serves as the Owner’s Representative responsible for independent, field-based verification of construction progress and alignment with the master schedule. This role is on site a minimum of three days per week, performing physical walkdowns, validating installed quantities, and engaging directly with the General Contractor and subcontractor field teams. The remaining time is dedicated to compiling verified quantities and preparing weekly progress data for the scheduling team. The Analyst confirms that reported actuals match physical work in place, identifies sequencing, access, and logistics risks to schedule adherence, and tracks constraints and missed commitments to resolution. The objective is to give the project team and the scheduling team a single, verified picture of progress.

- Proficiency with quantity tracking tools (Excel or equivalent) and the ability to maintain organized, auditable records
- Ability to perform physical progress verification in active construction environments and to be on site a minimum of three days per week
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to constructively question reported progress with subcontractor field leadership
- Ability to coordinate effectively with General Contractor superintendents, subcontractor foremen and project managers, and scheduling team members
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred, but not required with equivalent experience

- Identify opportunities to improve schedule adherence, including re-sequencing, resource reallocation, and work-front optimization
- Maintain a variance log of discrepancies between reported and verified progress, with resolution status
Subcontractor Coordination
- Coordinate with subcontractor foremen and superintendents to confirm planned versus completed work on a daily basis
- Identify missed commitments, constraints, and roadblocks (materials, manpower, access, RFIs, inspections) and track them to resolution
- Work with subcontractors to define realistic recovery plans and confirm that recovery commitments are reflected in the look-ahead
- Maintain a constraint and missed-commitment log with recovery actions and responsible parties
