The Company

Our client is a well-established main contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects across a range of sectors, including commercial, residential, education, healthcare, and mixed-use developments. With a strong pipeline of secured work and continued growth, they are investing in their pre-construction and planning teams to support future projects.

The business is recognised for developing its people and promoting from within, offering genuine long-term career opportunities in a collaborative and supportive environment.

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Planner or Planner to join the pre-construction and project delivery team.

This role is particularly suited to someone with an operations background whether you're currently working as a Site Manager, Assistant Site Manager, Section Engineer, Project Engineer, or Project Manager who is looking to transition into a planning career.

You'll work alongside experienced planners, gaining exposure to projects from tender stage through to completion while learning how to develop and manage construction programmes. Your practical site knowledge will be invaluable in producing realistic programmes, sequencing works, identifying risks, and supporting project teams throughout the construction lifecycle.

The company will provide ongoing training, mentoring, and career development, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move away from site-based responsibilities into a strategic planning role without losing touch with project delivery.

Roles and responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Assist in producing and updating tender and construction programmes using planning software
  • Work closely with project teams to develop realistic construction sequences and delivery strategies
  • Monitor project progress against programme and identify potential delays or risks
  • Attend site visits and planning meetings to gather progress information and support programme updates
  • Help prepare short-term and long-term programmes, phasing plans, and logistics plans.
  • Support project teams with progress reporting and programme analysis
  • Work alongside estimators, commercial teams, and operational staff during pre-construction and live projects
  • Contribute to programme improvements and identify opportunities to increase efficiency throughout project delivery

Qualifications and experience (Ideal but not essential):

  • Hold a university degree in a construction related subject
  • Has a good understanding of health and safety, environment and sustainability requirements for construction projects
  • Experience using ASTA Powerproject or MS Project
