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

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.

• 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
