Opportunity
Are you a Planner who thrives when involved in all stages of a project — from early business development through to delivery on site? Join this forward‑thinking construction business in Preston, where you’ll use ASTA to help shape and deliver quality building work across commercial, education, health, industrial & retail, residential, sports & leisure sectors. As Planner you’ll be embedded in the team, acting as the key link between bidding, design, and site teams to ensure projects run on time, on quality, and to budget.
Responsibilities
Lead planning and programme development using ASTA from initial business development / tender stage through design, procurement and on‑site delivery.
Coordinate with BD, estimating, design, and site teams to develop realistic project programmes, identifying critical path, dependencies, and constraints.
Monitor progress, update programmes, flag risks and delays, and drive corrective actions to keep projects on track.
Produce regular programme reports for senior management and clients, liaising closely with stakeholders.
Assist with resource planning, identifying when extra support, labour or materials are needed to avoid bottlenecks.
Work on multiple projects of varying size and complexity across the full life cycle of construction.
What’s in it for you
Competitive salary up to £60,000 + car or allowance, plus pension and healthcare, reflecting the seniority and responsibility of the Planner role.
Work for a business highly committed to quality, integrity, client satisfaction and delivering projects that make real impact in local communities.
Be involved in every phase of projects — not just on site or in the office, but from the very start. That means greater ownership and influence over how programmes are set and delivered.
Work in a collaborative, supportive team environment; head office support and strong culture.
