Job description

On complex engineering and construction projects, a strong programme gives teams the visibility they need to make better decisions. As Resident Planner, you will be embedded within project delivery in Paris, providing clear planning insight and helping teams understand progress, priorities, dependencies and emerging programme risks.

You will work closely with engineering, construction and project stakeholders to maintain accurate programmes, monitor delivery and identify issues early. Rather than simply reporting dates, you will help turn planning information into meaningful actions that support successful delivery.

What’s in It For You

• Project-Wide Exposure - Gain visibility across design, engineering and construction while understanding how different workstreams combine to drive overall delivery.
• Real Influence - Provide programme insight that helps project teams prioritise actions, manage dependencies and respond to emerging risks.
• Complex Planning Experience - Work with technically demanding programmes involving multiple disciplines, interfaces and stakeholders.
• Career Development - Strengthen your planning, stakeholder and project controls capability within a growing international engineering environment.
• Collaborative Delivery - Work closely with engineers, project leaders, contractors and other stakeholders rather than operating planning as an isolated function.
• Supportive Culture - Work with Accountability, Integrity, Simplicity and Supportiveness while providing clear, reliable information to project teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop, maintain and update project programmes throughout delivery.
• Monitor progress against agreed activities, milestones and dependencies.
• Work with engineering and construction teams to understand current status and future requirements.
• Identify potential programme risks, delays and critical interfaces.
• Provide clear progress information and planning insight to project stakeholders.
• Support project meetings with accurate programme updates and forward-looking analysis.
• Help teams understand the programme impact of design, construction and delivery decisions.

Essential Skills

• Strong planning experience within engineering, construction or a related project environment.
• Proven ability to develop and maintain complex project programmes.
• Strong understanding of sequencing, dependencies, progress monitoring and programme risk.
• Ability to analyse project information and communicate meaningful planning insights.
• Strong coordination and stakeholder communication capability.

Learning & Development

You will be joining a community that focuses on learning and development through regular lunch and learn sessions and investment in accredited professional courses or educational programmes. You can set the pace for your professional development, and whatever path you choose, you will receive relevant support.
