Outside IR35. Ltd Company. Rail. This one is rare.
Genuinely outside IR35 opportunities in rail planning are hard to find right now.
We have them — and we're hiring Lead Planners across four UK locations.
THE ROLE
You'll be working on a major UK rail programme — complex, high-profile, long-term. As Lead Planner you own the programme schedule end to end: building it, maintaining it, challenging it, and making sure the right people have the right information to deliver.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
* Developing, owning and maintaining detailed P6 programmes across project lifecycle
* Providing schedule analysis, critical path review and earned value reporting
* Working under NEC contract — advising on programme obligations, early warnings and compensation events
* Challenging contractors' and suppliers' programmes and holding them to account
* Reporting to senior stakeholders — clear, confident, no fluff
* Identifying risks, delays and mitigation options before they become problems
WHAT YOU NEED
* Extensive rail sector experience — you know how rail programmes are built and why they slip
* P6 — proficient, not just familiar. You build and maintain complex programmes yourself
* In-depth NEC contract knowledge — options, early warnings, compensation events, the lot
* Experience as Lead or Senior Planner on major infrastructure or rail programmes
* Strong stakeholder skills — you can present schedule data and tell the story behind it
