TRS are seeking an organised and proactive Project Planner / Resource Coordinator to join an established Electrical Services company based in Bandon, Cork.

This is a key role responsible for coordinating labour, resources and project schedules across multiple electrical, industrial, commercial and maintenance projects.

Working closely with Contracts Managers, Project Leads and site teams, you will help ensure projects are properly planned, resources are coordinated effectively, and upcoming requirements are identified in advance.

This position would suit someone who understands the construction environment and enjoys planning, organising and coordinating people and projects.

You don't necessarily need to be an experienced construction planner. Our client is looking for someone with the right organisational ability, practical mindset and communication skills who can develop within the role as the company continues to grow.

Responsibilities

• Plan and coordinate labour and resources across multiple projects.
• Maintain and update the company Master Plan, project schedules and planning boards.
• Prepare and maintain a 3-week labour and resource outlook, highlighting upcoming requirements, potential clashes and resource gaps.
• Develop and maintain short-term look-ahead programmes.
• Work closely with Contracts Managers and site teams to understand project progress and upcoming requirements.
• Track project status, key milestones and programme dates.
• Identify potential resource clashes, delays and upcoming constraints.
• Coordinate materials, subcontractors and other project requirements.
• Liaise with site teams, suppliers and clients where required.
• Help ensure information is communicated clearly between the office and site teams.
• Support the successful delivery of projects safely, on time and within budget.
• Assist with improving and standardising the company's planning and scheduling processes.

Required Experience

• Strong organisational and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Comfortable working with planning, scheduling and project management systems.
• A practical understanding of how construction projects progress from mobilisation through to completion.
• Construction or trade background would be highly desirable.
• Previous experience in construction, engineering, electrical contracting or project coordination would be an advantage.
• Proactive approach with the ability to follow up on actions and keep projects moving.
• Ability to work closely with both office-based and site-based teams.
