Job description

Greville Consulting is growing, and are looking for an experienced Senior Planner to join the team in Adelaide.

This is an opportunity to work across major infrastructure and construction projects, providing specialist planning and programming advice to clients, project teams and senior stakeholders.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Planner, you will work across a range of complex projects, supporting clients through tender, planning and delivery phases.

You will be responsible for developing and reviewing detailed project programs, analysing progress and performance, and providing practical advice around sequencing, risk and project controls.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and maintaining detailed project programs from first principles
• Reviewing contractor programs, methodologies and sequencing
• Undertaking schedule analysis, progress tracking and forecasting
• Identifying critical path, risks, constraints and opportunities
• Supporting tender and D&C programming
• Reviewing changes, delays and potential time impacts
• Providing planning and programming advice to clients and project teams
• Preparing clear, commercially relevant reporting and dashboards
• Facilitating planning and programming workshops with key stakeholders
• Supporting constructability and delivery reviews
• Working closely with project managers, engineers, commercial teams and contractors
• Contributing to the continued development of Greville’s planning and project controls capability

About You

We’re looking for someone with solid experience in planning, programming or project controls, ideally gained across major construction or infrastructure projects.

You’ll bring:

• 5+ years experience in planning, scheduling or project controls
• Experience working across major construction, infrastructure or engineering projects
• Advanced knowledge of Primavera P6 or equivalent scheduling software
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and project delivery
• Experience with critical path analysis, progress tracking and schedule reporting
• An understanding of project risk, change and time-related issues
• The ability to interpret complex project information and turn it into practical advice
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with clients and senior stakeholders
• A tertiary qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management or a related discipline

Consultancy or client-side experience will be well regarded, as will exposure to Tier 1 projects and complex infrastructure environments.

Why Greville?

Greville Consulting is a specialist infrastructure planning, project controls and advisory consultancy working across South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.

Their work spans major infrastructure delivery, road, rail and bridge projects, tender and D&C programming, constructability and risk reviews, and broader project controls.

You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced consultants and senior project professionals, with exposure to a variety of projects and clients rather than being tied to a single project environment.

This is a role suited to someone who enjoys getting into the detail of a project, but also wants to understand the bigger picture, and have a genuine say in how projects are planned and delivered.
