Project Planner – Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

An established civil engineering and infrastructure contractor is looking for a Project Planner to join its growing planning team in Manchester.

This is a great opportunity for either an early-career Planner looking to develop or an established Project Planner wanting exposure to major, long-term infrastructure schemes.

The Role

Working alongside an experienced planning team, you'll support projects from early contractor involvement and tender stage through to delivery and completion.

You'll be responsible for:

• Developing, updating and maintaining project programmes

• Using Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project

• Supporting programmes across tender, pre-construction and live delivery

• Building programmes from first principles

• Monitoring progress and identifying programme risks or delays

• Working closely with Project Managers, site teams and commercial teams

• Supporting reporting, change management and NEC contract requirements

• Ensuring programmes accurately reflect project progress and delivery requirements

What We're Looking For

Ideally you'll have:

• Experience within civil engineering, infrastructure, utilities, highways or water

• Previous experience in a Planner / Project Planner position

• Knowledge of Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project

• Understanding of project programming and construction sequencing

• Exposure to NEC contracts would be advantageous

• Strong communication and analytical skills

• Full UK driving licence

Civil Engineering qualifications such as an HNC/HND or equivalent would be beneficial but aren't essential.

This is a cracking opportunity to join a busy infrastructure contractor with a strong pipeline of projects across the North West and plenty of scope to develop your planning career.
