What you'll be doing

• Developing and maintaining fully logic‑linked programmes across multiple concurrent projects
• Producing cost‑loaded and resource‑loaded schedules
• Monitoring progress, identifying critical path risk, and building recovery plans when things go off track
• Supporting NEC3/NEC4 contract administration, compensation events and programme impact assessments
• Leading programme reviews and acting as the planning authority for project teams

About you

• Advanced skills in Asta Powerproject - ESSENTIAL
• Experience within Energy, infrastructure, decarbonisation, M&E or building services projects - desirable
• A track record managing complex construction, engineering, energy, utilities or infrastructure programmes
• Strong grasp of critical path analysis, programme risk and recovery planning
• Experience working under NEC3/NEC4 contracts

Package
