Project Planner - P6 | Major Civil Engineering Project | North Wales Long-Term Contract | £50m Civil Engineering Package | Hybrid Working We're recruiting an experienced Project Planner to join a major civil engineering package on a nationally significant infrastructure scheme in North Wales. This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of planning on a £50m self-delivered package, with approximately two years of works remaining. The package includes bulk earthworks, drainage and civil engineering works through to substructure. We're looking for a Planner who understands how projects are actually built, not just how programmes are produced. Candidates who have progressed from a Site Engineer or Senior Engineer background and understand first principles construction planning will be particularly well suited. What's on offer? * Competitive day rate £500 p/day) * Long-term contract with circa 2 years remaining * 3 days per week on site / 2 days remote * Major UK infrastructure project * Opportunity to influence project delivery on a self-delivered package Key Responsibilities * Develop, maintain and update the master programme using Primavera P6. * Produce detailed construction programmes from first principles, reflecting realistic construction methodologies and sequencing. * Work closely with operational teams to ensure programmes accurately reflect site progress and delivery strategy. * Develop short-term look-ahead programmes and recovery plans where required. * Monitor progress, identify critical path risks and propose practical mitigation measures. * Carry out programme impact assessments for change and variations. * Produce progress reports, programme narratives and management dashboards. * Coordinate programme interfaces between engineering, commercial, temporary works and construction teams. * Challenge construction methodologies where opportunities exist to improve efficiency or reduce programme risk. * Attend planning, progress and client meetings, presenting programme updates to senior stakeholders. * Support tender planning and sequencing for future work packages where required.
