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.

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.
