At BakerHicks, we specialize in managing and delivering technically complex projects. We understand that budgets are finite and construction timelines are stringent.
Our project and programme management teams possess the expertise to manage these constraints effectively, ensuring stakeholders remain updated and projects stay on course.

Renowned for our ability to handle both large-scale, complex developments and smaller improvement projects or procurement strategies, we create bespoke plans that ensure projects are delivered according to the brief, on schedule, and within budget.

Based on site with one of BakerHicks' key clients in the Life Science sector, we are seeking an experienced Lead Planner to oversee and lead the planning and scheduling activities for a significant EPCM project that is in the early stages of construction in Ayrshire, Scotland.

You will lead a team of planners in:

• Building and maintaining project schedules
• Coordinating with project teams, and optimising resource utilisation to ensure timely and efficient project delivery.

This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with cross-functional teams. The role will be significantly client-facing.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain project schedules, incorporating all relevant activities, milestones, and dependencies.
• Coordinate with project teams to allocate resources effectively and ensure optimal utilisation of manpower, equipment, and materials.
• Monitor project progress against established schedules, tracking actual performance and comparing it to planned timelines.
• Anticipate and assess schedule risks and uncertainties, identifying potential threats to project timelines and developing mitigation strategies.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all project planning and scheduling-related communications with internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or similar/equivalent in engineering or related field.
• Extensive demonstrable experience in project planning, scheduling, or project management, with a focus on EPCM projects - preferably within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry.
• Proficiency in project planning and scheduling software/tools (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project)

About You

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate schedule risks and develop effective mitigation strategies.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
• Proven leadership abilities, with experience leading project planning efforts and coordinating cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry standards relevant to the pharmaceutical sector.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in project planning and scheduling.
