Overview
Junior Project Planner | Birmingham-based (with flexible remote working & site visits) — Construction Consultancy | Multi-sector Projects
Are you an ambitious engineer or construction graduate looking to build a career in project planning? This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, forward-thinking planning consultancy that’s redefining how the industry approaches planning and project controls. You'll work alongside a dynamic team of engineers who are passionate about delivering real value to clients — not just ticking boxes.
What’s the Role?
As a Junior Project Planner, you’ll:
* Work on live construction projects from early design through to delivery.
* Learn to build project schedules from the ground up — drawings to logic, float, and calendars.
* Be trained across leading planning tools: Primavera P6, ASTA Powerproject, MS Project, Synchro 4D/5D, Tilos, and more.
* Attend site visits to update programmes in collaboration with delivery teams and project managers.
* Support the creation of interactive dashboards and one-page executive reports using Power BI.
* Gain exposure to NEC and JCT contract frameworks, using platforms like CEMAR and Asite.
Why This Role Stands Out
* No short-term placements — this is about growing a planner for the long term.
* Engineer-led team — all planners have technical backgrounds and deep project understanding.
* Modern, digital consultancy — using tech to drive clarity and control.
* Diverse project exposure — work across sectors (infrastructure, residential, commercial, and more).
* Flexible & collaborative working — HQ is a modern, central Birmingham office with spaces for team working or quiet focus.
What’s in It for You?
* Full training & mentorship in advanced planning software and techniques
* Travel fully paid for site visits (incl. accommodation where needed)
* Annual bonus (paid at Christmas based on company performance)
* Private medical insurance – scheme is being introduced as part of the growing benefits package
* A clear pathway to becoming a well-rounded, senior planner
Who We’re Looking For
* Degree-qualified in engineering, construction management, or similar
* Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail
* Confident communicator, comfortable working with internal teams and clients
* Eager to develop technical planning skills in a real-world setting
* Curious, driven, and looking to grow in a supportive environment
