We're supporting a major programme in the Southeast and looking for someone to take a lead role across the planning function, influencing programme strategy, delivery performance and planning standards.

• Leading critical path analysis, forecasting and programme reporting
• Identifying risks, opportunities and recovery strategies
• Connecting planning with cost, commercial, risk and project controls
• Turning programme data into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
• Influencing how planning contributes to wider project delivery

What we're looking for:

• Strong Planning Manager / Senior Planner experience
• Major infrastructure or capital project background
• Strong Primavera P6 capability
• Experience leading or mentoring planners
• Solid understanding of project controls and construction planning
• Strong commercial and stakeholder awareness
