Lead, Innovate, Deliver
Are you a seasoned Planning Manager ready to take the reins on high-profile infrastructure projects in the Sussex region? This is your chance to work with a world-renowned client on programmes that span early feasibility through to complex delivery. Every project brings a new challenge, from civil engineering and MEP to sustainability, technical engineering, and value-driven construction.
Here, your planning expertise won’t just manage schedules — it will shape delivery strategies, streamline processes, and influence outcomes across multi-disciplinary teams.

* Develop, maintain, and optimise integrated project schedules using Primavera P6
* Oversee construction budgets and ensure alignment with cost estimates
* Deliver governance, schedule, and quality reporting to senior stakeholders
* Collaborate with diverse stakeholders to communicate complex ideas clearly
* Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance efficiency and predictability
You bring:
* Extensive experience with Primavera P6 and programme management
* A proven track record in leading planning teams on major infrastructure projects (ÂŁ50M+)
* Strong financial acumen, with experience managing construction budgets
* Expertise in governance, scheduling, and quality reporting
* Confidence in engaging with stakeholders across all levels
* Bonus: Geotechnical project experience
Why This Role Stands Out
* Hybrid Working: Balance life and work with a flexible approach
* Attractive Package: ÂŁ95K base, joining fee, up to 20% bonus, plus benefits
* Career Growth: Take ownership of projects that offer visible impact and advancement
* Diverse Projects: Exposure to complex, multi-disciplinary programmes spanning civil, MEP, sustainability, and more
