Construction Logistics Planner

Responsibilities

• Front-End Site Logistics: Engage during site selection to provide logistics inputs — batch plant location, lay-down areas, staging, parking, traffic flows, ring-road installation, and berm timing — before land is acquired. Ensure site constraints inform the build model from the outset, not as an afterthought.
• Campus Sequencing Oversight: Maintain a single, live sequencing view across all active campuses. Drive nimble pivots when site conditions, customer requirements, or GC schedules shift — and document every resequencing decision with clear rationale and downstream impact.
• RFP Table-Setting: Make Compass’s logistics requirements prescriptive in the RFP. Conduct sequencing walk-throughs with prospective GCs before an initial schedule is made — mirroring the Compass page-turn model — and hold bidders accountable to submitting draft logistics plans as a standard RFP deliverable.
• Base Build Sequencing: Drive clearer sequencing logic with GCs during active construction, establishing “walk us through the sequence” as a standard checkpoint. Proactively identify fit-out conflicts — especially where base build and WSFO work is concurrent — before they become schedule risk.
• Resequencing Support: Serve as the go-to resource for Delivery Managers across active campuses facing sequencing challenges. Help identify pivot options, quantify schedule impact, and communicate changes to project teams and stakeholders when conditions shift or a GC falls behind.

Skills and Experience

• Exceptional communicator who is good with analogies and is able to translate complex sequencing logic to both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership.
• As passionate about days in a schedule as Compass’s best financial operators are about dollars in a budget.
• Experience working “inside the box”, or within defined constraints, to change industry norms and confidently push back on GCs and other contractors to build our data centers the Compass Way.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and lead prescriptive pre-construction walk-throughs with GCs; comfortable running a detailed sequence review before an initial GC schedule has been made.

Requirements

Logistics experience on high-rise construction or heavy OFCI/pre-fab modular programs — with direct experience managing concurrent vertical work: fitting out lower floors while structure continues above.

Proven track record on constrained urban job sites with limited lay-down space, active multi-trade sequencing, and real-time resequencing under pressure — and a history of finishing on time despite those conditions.

Construction experience is a bonus.
