Descripción del empleo

As our portfolio grows, so does our planning function. We have recently welcomed a Planning Manager and are now looking for a Senior Project Planner who can turn complex project inputs into clear, reliable schedules and practical decision support. You will strengthen project execution at our N01 data centre campus in Vennesla, near Kristiansand, and help shape how we plan across Bulk. At Bulk, our mission is to build sustainable infrastructure that supports the digital society of tomorrow. As one of the leading providers of sustainable, high-performance data centre solutions in the Nordics, we design and operate infrastructure that powers the digital economy – efficiently, securely, and with 100% renewable energy. You will join Bulk’s Project Management Office (PMO), working in a matrix structure within construction. You will plan and control multidisciplinary data centre projects across the full lifecycle, working with stakeholders in design, procurement, construction and operations.

What you’ll do:

• Develop and maintain integrated schedules covering design, construction and commissioning
• Manage critical and near-critical paths and flag delays and dependencies early
• Track progress against baselines and explain variances, risks and trends clearly
• Build lookahead plans with site teams and contractors and follow up on commitments
• Prepare schedule reports, milestone forecasts and decision support for project and PMO leaders
• Run scenario analysis and develop recovery plans when schedules come under pressure
• Review and integrate contractor and supplier schedules into the overall plan
• Facilitate schedule reviews and planning workshops across disciplines
• Keep schedules accurate and consistent in MS Project and Oracle Primavera Cloud
• Contribute to planning standards, templates and digital workflows

About you:

You know how complex construction or infrastructure projects work in practice, and you enjoy bringing structure to them. You ask good questions, challenge assumptions and turn information into realistic plans.

You take ownership, adapt when priorities or sequencing change, and keep things moving when projects get demanding. You build trust with Project Managers, site teams and contractors, and you communicate clearly with people at every level.

What you bring:

• Solid hands‑on experience planning major construction, engineering or infrastructure projects
• Experience planning multidisciplinary projects and integrating contractor schedules
• Experience with critical path management, schedule risk analysis and progress control
• Advanced skills in MS Project, and experience with Oracle Primavera Cloud, Primavera P6 or a similar enterprise scheduling tool
• A bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, project management or a related field
• Good written and spoken English
• Hands‑on experience using AI tools to improve planning work, such as analysis, reporting or scenario planning

It's a plus if you have:

• Experience from data centres, energy, industrial facilities or other mission‑critical infrastructure
• A planning certification such as PMI‑SP or AACE PSP
• Experience with earned value management, portfolio reporting or coaching other planners

You don’t need to tick every box. If this role excites you and you bring most of what we describe, we would like to hear from you.

Why join us?

• Influence how Bulk plans as we build up our planning function
• See your schedules and analysis directly inform decisions on major data centre projects
• Follow projects from early design all the way to handover to operations
• Work alongside our Planning Manager to connect project and portfolio planning
• Use AI and digital tools to find better ways of planning

What we offer our Bulkies:

• A dynamic, growth‑oriented workplace with a strong sustainability focus
• Comprehensive insurance (health, travel – business & private) and annual health check
• Extra days off around Easter and Christmas
• Monthly contribution to home internet costs and sustainable commuting
• Annual wellness allowance to support an active lifestyle
• Fully paid parental leave
