Job description

A Project Planner is required to join a well-established construction company in Glasgow (hybrid with occasional travel). They've built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects and are now looking to bring in an experienced Planner to support their growing portfolio.

The Opportunity

Planning sits at the heart of this business. You'll join a collaborative environment where planning, site, and commercial teams work closely together, and your input will directly influence project delivery.

You’ll work across a range of fast-paced fit-out and refurbishment projects, typically from 350k to 10m+, ensuring programmes are realistic, risks are understood, and delivery stays on track.

This is a hands‑on role with a strong site presence (around 3 days a week), working with project teams from tender through to completion.

What You'll Be Doing

This role goes beyond producing programmes - you'll ensure they reflect how projects are delivered on site. From tender stage through to completion, you'll develop and maintain logic-linked programmes aligned with real-world delivery.

You'll work closely with project managers, site teams, commercial teams, and subcontractors to gather accurate information and keep programmes up to date. You'll monitor site progress, update programmes to reflect performance, and produce short-term lookahead schedules to keep teams focused.

You'll also identify risks, delays, and opportunities, analysing critical path impacts and helping teams understand the effects of change or disruption.

What They’re Looking For

They’re looking for someone confident, structured, and comfortable being visible on-site.

• Experience as a Planner within the construction sector
• Strong experience in fit-out / refurbishment projects (essential)
• Valid UK driver’s licence and access to a car (essential)
• Strong expertise in Asta Powerproject (v13)
• Experience with Primavera P6 (desirable)
• Good understanding of construction sequencing and methodologies
• Knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts
• Commercial awareness, particularly how programme links to cost and risk

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in project delivery within a business that values planning as a core function, giving you the platform to influence decisions and outcomes.

The Offer

Hybrid working (with occasional travel), salary up to 85,000 (DOE), plus a strong benefits package including car allowance and free onsite parking.

If you're a Planner who wants to be embedded in delivery and make a real impact, this is a role where your expertise will be valued.
