Job description

PACE Global is recruiting an experienced Primavera P6 Planner for a major defence programme.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to genuinely own a programme rather than sit in a reporting-only seat. It is a highly governed environment, so accuracy, sound judgement and professional discretion matter throughout.

What you will be doing:

• Building, maintaining and updating integrated schedules in Primavera P6
• Assuring activity logic, dependencies, milestones, calendars and baselines
• Running regular progress cycles and maintaining proper data-date discipline
• Analysing critical path, float, variance, slippage and emerging schedule risk
• Working with project managers, engineers and commercial teams to gather and challenge updates
• Assessing the schedule impact of change and supporting recovery and reforecasting
• Producing clear look-aheads, schedule narratives and decision-ready reporting
• Supporting planning governance and schedule quality across the programme

What I am looking for:

• Strong, recent hands-on experience with Primavera P6 on live projects
• A solid grounding in WBS, logic, critical path, float, baselines, progress and forecasting
• Genuine ownership of schedules, not reporting or administrative support alone
• The confidence to work with multidisciplinary stakeholders and challenge weak inputs
• A firm commitment to two days each week on site at Clyde
• Active SC clearance, or the ability to meet the client's formal security and vetting requirements
• Defence, naval, nuclear or aerospace programme experience
• Consultancy or secondment background
• Exposure to schedule assurance, earned value, NEC, or risk and change integration

Why consider it:

• A nationally significant defence programme
• Genuine ownership of your planning outputs rather than a reporting-only remit
• Valuable defence and project controls experience through a structured secondment
