Project Planner Role – Shaping the Future of High-Tech Construction Projects

Are you a meticulous and driven Project Planner ready to play a crucial role in the successful delivery of cutting-edge construction projects? This is your opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation where your planning expertise will have a direct impact on project outcomes.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Attractive Compensation Package: Enjoy a competitive salary, a company travel allowance, 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off, a contributory pension scheme with NEST, life assurance (x4), private medical healthcare (BUPA), and an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme.
• Pathway to Success: Be part of a growing business with ambitious plans and involvement in high-profile sectors such as data centres, pharmaceuticals, and defence.
• Growth and Development: Engage in continuous improvement initiatives, receive regular feedback, and access opportunities for personal development and advanced training.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Planning & Scheduling: Develop, maintain, and monitor detailed project plans and schedules, ensuring alignment with project objectives and contractual requirements.
• Resource Management: Coordinate resource allocation, identify potential resource conflicts, and develop mitigation strategies.
• Progress Monitoring & Reporting: Track project progress, identify critical paths, and provide regular reports on schedule performance to project stakeholders.
• Risk Management: Assist in the identification and assessment of project risks and opportunities related to scheduling, and contribute to the development of mitigation plans.
• Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with project managers, engineers, and other team members to ensure seamless project execution and effective communication of schedule information.
• Programme Optimisation: identify opportunities for improvements to programmes and drive through these improvements.

Essential Skills and Experience:

• Strong Academic Foundation: Degree educated or equivalent in a construction-related field or a relevant technical discipline.
• Significant Planning Experience: 8+ years of experience as a Planner, with a proven track record on large-scale projects. Data centre experience is desirable but not essential.
• Essential Software Skills: Must have proficiency in:
• Primavera P6
• ASTA Powerproject
• MS Power BI
• Construction Experience: Proven experience in project planning within the construction industry, preferably with experience in large-scale or complex projects.
• Analytical Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and identify potential scheduling issues.
• Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate schedule information to a variety of audiences.
• Organisational Skills: Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented and proactive Project Planner who is passionate about ensuring the successful delivery of construction projects. If you have the skills and experience to excel in this position, we encourage you to apply today!
