Junior Project Planner
Birmingham-based (with flexible remote working & site visits)
Construction Consultancy | Multi-sector Projects
£30,000 – £38,000 (depending on experience) + Bonus + Travel + Pension + Development
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
* 5% matched pension
* Work in a small, tight-knit team with real ownership
* 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
