Are you an organised, proactive professional looking to build your career within project support?

We’re recruiting a Project Planner on behalf of an established UK-based engineering construction group, operating across complex and critical infrastructure environments.

As the Project Planner, you’ll play a key part in supporting project teams, maintaining documentation, and ensuring accurate programme updates.

• Support planning activities such as booking training, checking competency records, and gathering information from teams.
• Assist with client‑facing reports, change request documentation, and issue logs.
• Coordinate purchase order tracking, project setup documents, and internal communications.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys coordinating people, information, and schedules to keep projects running smoothly.

• Ideally experience in a Project Administrator, Programme Coordinator, or Project Support role.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work with multiple stakeholders.
• Experience with project planning tools is beneficial but not essential.
