Are you a Site Engineer looking to take the step away from site and into an office role? Or are you a planner dealing with infrastructure projects looking to take on a new opportunity?
Our client is looking for a Project Planner to develop and maintain project programmes, track progress against baseline, and support Project Managers in the successful delivery of multi-discipline construction projects from tender through to completion. It is essential for this role you have experience within site, engineering or estimating.
Responsibilities
* Convert tender programmes into detailed delivery programmes with Project Managers.
* Develop, manage and update project programmes using WBS and Primavera P6.
* Update live project programmes monthly, including site-based reviews where required.
* Provide programme updates and reports for internal governance and client issue.
* Support recovery planning and development of action plans to mitigate delays.
* Assist with tender-stage planning, methodologies and resourced programmes.
* Ensure programmes reflect construction sequence, procurement, testing and commissioning.
* Support accurate progress reporting and certification requirements.
* Visit sites to assess constraints and inform planning and method statements.
* Promote continuous improvement in planning, reporting and construction techniques.
* Work closely with the Planning Team and Project Managers to provide a high-quality planning service.
What We’re Looking For
Knowledge & Experience
* Experience in a project planning role is desirable but we would also consider an experienced site agent looking to move on.
* Experience of design, construction and commissioning projects.
* Strong Primavera P6 experience (preferred).
* Previous site-based experience.
* Experience on capital works, ideally within HV cabling and substations.
* Experience working for a main contractor or contractor interface.
Skills
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Strong IT skills including Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.
* Detail-focused with strong analytical and reporting capability.
* Collaborative team player who can challenge progress where required.
* Strong understanding of project, safety and commercial impacts on programmes.
Qualifications
* Qualification in Project Management, Planning or Construction Management - advantageous
* Valid CSCS card.
In summary, our client is seeking a candidate capable of independently developing a comprehensive construction programme from a scope document and a series of drawings. This includes performing take-offs, proposing optimal construction methodologies, and producing a fully logic-linked programme.
The role also requires close collaboration with site teams, with a focus on construction-level planning rather than relying solely on site feedback to sequence activities or determine progress.
Why Apply
Join a technically strong and forward-thinking delivery team where planning plays a critical role in project success. You’ll work on complex infrastructure projects, have real influence on delivery outcomes, and benefit from ongoing development in a business that values innovation and continuous improvement.
