Planner / Senior Planner - RC Frame & Groundwork Subcontractor
Office Location: Near Watford
£70,000 - £90,000 + Package (based on experience)
PLANNER needed with Reinforced Concrete Frame & Groundwork subcontractor experience for an immediately available position.
About the Employer
Having been established for over 30 years within the specialist field of concrete frames and groundworks, this business is one of the leading names within this field. Current turnover is around £80m per annum. They currently complete packages ranging in value from £5m up to £30m each on a mixture of residential and commercial projects throughout London and the surrounding areas.
This business prides itself on its positive brand across the whole industry. They are profitable, secure, and have an excellent client base. Their in‑house capability to take complex projects from design through to completion has always made them stand out as one of the best. They are family owned and still maintain the family feel they have had over the last 15+ years I have known them, which is important because not all do as they grow. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish, working on some of the best projects in London.
Requirements / Responsibilities
* Critical in supporting the Preconstruction & Delivery teams in producing, overseeing and monitoring the contract and construction programmes.
* Competence in Asta Power Project (or similar planning software) and a well‑developed ability to communicate technical issues clearly.
* Ability to read, absorb and visualise information from drawings and text and convert this into a robust vision for construction.
* A communicator who can motivate ancillary staff who produce 3D/4D models and 'cartoon' sketches, so that our proposals are set before the client using visual aids as well as text. Constructive communication with Estimators is also important.
* Experience of a busy and fast moving 'Concrete Frame and Groundwork Specialists' tendering office and the necessary ability to cope under pressure.
* Broad engineering knowledge - knowing when something looks right.
* Support the PM in briefings to proactively focus design (temporary and permanent), procurement, labour, plant and staff in order to secure programmed dates and milestones.
* Numerate and articulate.
To fulfil this role, we would ideally hope for the candidate to have spent a proportion of their career on building sites as an engineer, project manager or similar, in the specialist field of reinforced concrete frame construction and groundworks, but this is not essential if strong planning experience can be shown in this field.
Rewards / Benefits
If successful, you will receive a strong basic salary estimated at £70,000 to £90,000 per annum (based on level of experience) with a package to match. This is negotiable and is available on a self‑employed or PAYE basis.
