Job Title: Project Planner Location: Dukinfield (Greater Manchester) Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 DOE + £4,800 Car Allowance & Benefits
A major Tier 1 contractor delivering long‑term utilities infrastructure works is seeking a Project Planner to support the delivery of projects within a major United Utilities AMP8 framework. This role will focus on supporting the planning and coordination of multi‑disciplinary infrastructure works, including civil, mechanical and electrical installation activities. The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining and updating project programmes while working closely with delivery teams on site. The team is looking for someone who is proactive and inquisitive, willing to engage directly with engineers, supervisors and project teams to gather information and ensure programmes accurately reflect project progress. This is not a purely desk‑based scheduling role – it requires someone comfortable interacting with site teams and helping drive programme clarity.
Key Responsibilities
* Maintain and update project programmes across civil, mechanical and electrical works
* Liaise with site teams to gather progress updates and programme inputs
* Support planning activities across multiple stages of project delivery
* Assist with progress tracking, reporting and identifying programme risks
* Work closely with project stakeholders to ensure accurate planning information
About You
* Experience working in a planning or programme support role within construction, infrastructure or utilities
* Understanding of multi‑disciplinary project delivery (civil, mechanical, electrical or installation works)
* Comfortable engaging with site teams to obtain project information and programme updates
* Motivated and proactive, with a willingness to investigate and gather information independently
* Background within Tier 1 contractor environments or large infrastructure projects is advantageous
* Experience within water or utilities projects would be beneficial, but candidates from wider sectors such as civil engineering, energy, petrochemical, or large infrastructure delivery will also be considered.
What's on Offer
* £45,000 - £55,000 salary
* £4,800 car allowance
* 25 days annual leave
* Matched pension up to 10%
* Hybrid working depending on project requirements
* Long‑term career development within a major Tier 1 contractor
