Job Description:

ABOUT THE ROLE

I have been asked to find a Planner to work for one of the market-leading concrete frame & groundworks specialist subcontractors. This will include both preconstruction planning and project planning, involving programming and scheduling using Asta Power Projects.

REQUIREMENTS

• You will be critical in supporting the Preconstruction & Delivery teams in producing, overseeing and monitoring the contract and construction programmes.
• You will have competence in Asta Power Project (or similar planning software) and a well-developed ability to communicate technical issues clearly.
• You will have the ability to read, absorb and visualise information from drawings and text and convert this into a robust vision for construction.
• You will be a communicator who can motivate ancillary staff who produce 3D/4D models and ‘cartoon’ sketches, so that our proposals are set before the client using visual aids as well as text. Constructive communication with Estimators is also important.
• Experience of a busy and fast-moving ‘Concrete Frame and Groundwork Specialists’ tendering office and the necessary ability to cope under pressure.
• Broad engineering knowledge – knowing when something looks right.
• You will support the PM in briefings to proactively focus design (temporary and permanent), procurement, labour, plant and staff in order to secure programmed dates and milestones.
• Numerate and articulate.

To fulfil this role, we would ideally hope for the candidate to have spent a proportion of his / her career on building sites as an engineer, project manager or similar, in the specialist field of reinforced concrete frame construction and groundworks but this is not essential if strong planning experience can be shown in this field.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

If successful you will receive a strong basic salary estimated at £50,000 to £80,000 per annum (based on level of experience) with a package to match. This is negotiable and is available on a self-employed or PAYE basis.
