Why this role matters
We’re looking for a Project Planner to play a pivotal role in how our infrastructure projects are shaped and delivered — from bid stage through construction to completion and handover. This is more than planning programmes; it’s about creating confidence, momentum, and clarity across complex projects.
Working closely with the Construction & Commercial Director, you’ll be at the centre of decision-making — ensuring plans are robust, progress is transparent, and risks are understood and managed before they become issues.
This role is ideal for someone who:
-
Takes ownership of project programmes and enjoys turning complexity into clear, achievable plans
• Understands that accurate planning underpins successful delivery, commercial certainty, and strong client relationships
• Thrives in a growing, infrastructure-focused environment where your expertise directly influences outcomes
You’ll develop and manage baseline programmes, track progress, produce delay and mitigation analysis, and ensure planning outputs align with NEC or JCT contract requirements — helping projects stay on course and teams stay aligned.
How you’ll contribute
You’ll be accountable for shaping and controlling project programmes — from bid stage through to completion — ensuring time, risk, and delivery are aligned with project and client objectives.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for:
- Developing, maintaining, and managing accurate engineering and construction programmes from planning through delivery
- Producing resource-loaded schedules that provide clear, reliable data for engineering and construction teams.
- Applying appropriate industry planning standards and norms in line with contractual requirements.
- Working closely with project, engineering, commercial, and construction teams to ensure plans reflect practical and buildable methodologies.
- Engaging proactively with stakeholders, interfaces, procurement, and the supply chain to manage risks, dependencies, and long-lead items
- Ensuring all planning activities comply with company, client, and contractual processes and procedures
- Monitoring progress against baseline programmes and maintaining programme accuracy throughout delivery
- Identifying critical path risks, anticipating potential issues, and recommending mitigation or corrective actions
- Capturing and managing change to scope, programme, resources, and budget to support robust reporting and informed decision-making
- Producing timely programme updates, reports, and analysis in line with project and contract requirements
- Supporting delivery teams to ensure works are executed safely, efficiently, and in line with programme, specification, and budget
- Using approved planning software and tools to maximise visibility, communication, and planning effectiveness
Driving continuous improvement by reviewing planning approaches and identifying opportunities to enhance delivery performance
