  • Produce tender programmes, methodologies, phasing plans, logistics strategies and preliminary programmes.
  • Develop cost plan programmes to the required level of detail.
  • Identify programme risks, opportunities and innovative approaches to strengthen submissions.


Project Monitoring


  • Monitor project progress and produce regular planning reports.
  • Work closely with project teams to identify delays and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Analyse programme performance and advise on Extension of Time (EOT) opportunities where appropriate.
  • Produce supporting programmes demonstrating entitlement where required.


Commercial Support


  • Assess the programme impact of variations.
  • Provide planning support for commercial discussions and contractual claims.
  • Ensure programmes accurately reflect procurement and design progress.


Stakeholder Management


  • Maintain strong communication with senior management, project teams and clients.
  • Present programmes confidently to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Build positive working relationships across all project disciplines.


Team Development


  • Collaborate closely with planning, operations, commercial and pre-construction teams.
  • Mentor and support Assistant and Trainee Planners.
  • Share best practice and lessons learned across the business.


Continuous Improvement


  • Maintain exceptional attention to detail across all planning outputs.
  • Drive innovation and improvements within planning processes.
  • Capture lessons learned and as-built information to improve future project delivery.


Skills & Experience


The successful candidate will possess:

  • Advanced experience using Asta Powerproject.
  • Strong knowledge of industrial, logistics or large-scale commercial construction.
  • The ability to manage multiple complex programmes independently.
  • Excellent analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities.
  • Good commercial awareness with an understanding of programme impacts.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach.


Experience Required


  • Extensive experience in a planning role within industrial, logistics or large-scale commercial construction.
  • Proven experience leading planning on both live projects and tender submissions.
  • Strong understanding of NEC, JCT or similar forms of contract.


Working Environment
