We are recruiting experienced Project Planners to work within our Project Controls team on a series of security, defence, and nuclear sector projects. You will be an experienced project planner and scheduler, who will undertake planning and scheduling functions and performance monitoring. This includes: development and updating of programmes; submission of NEC-compliant programmes for acceptance; using the principles of DCMA/CIOB Protocol to undertake integrity checks on supply chain and third‑party programmes; maintenance, control, analysis and recovery‑plan activities, through all stages of the Project Life Cycle. You will be capable of planning and scheduling major infrastructure, new build and refurbishment construction projects, including those with significant non‑routine requirements. You should be proficient in developing programmes from first principles and be comfortable with the concepts of three‑point estimates of time, the provision of time risk allowance and production of risk‑adjusted programmes. We are looking for an agile practitioner who can build relationships, communicate with and support the projects and programme teams, while bringing an innovative approach to problem solving and scheduling.
