The Company

A well-established and respected contractor within the construction industry is seeking a Senior Planner to join their team in Northampton. With a focus on delivering high-quality multi-room developments – including student accommodation and residential schemes – they have a strong presence in the market and a healthy pipeline of work across the UK. This is a hybrid role offering flexibility and the opportunity to contribute to both tender and live projects.

The Role

As a Senior Planner, your primary focus will be on tender planning for multi-room projects.

You’ll also play a key role in developing and refining planning strategies during pre-construction. In addition to tender work, you will be involved in a live project where you’ll help monitor progress, update programmes, and provide reporting for the delivery team.

The Person

To be successful in this role, you must have extensive planning experience within the construction industry and a solid background in multi-room schemes such as student accommodation or residential blocks. Experience in tender planning is essential, as is a strong working knowledge of Asta Powerproject. You should be confident working to tight deadlines, communicating with pre-construction teams, and managing planning inputs at both bid and delivery stages.
