Planner – Construction Projects

Location: Swindon (3 days office) / Home (1 day) / Site & Project Visits (1 day)

Salary: Up to £90,000 + £6,000 Car Allowance + Benefits

Sector: Healthcare Construction / New Build / Major Projects

Start Date: ASAP

Planner – The Company

This is a genuinely unique opportunity for an experienced Planner to join a leading healthcare provider that is creating its own in-house construction delivery team.

The organisation operates some of the most prestigious healthcare facilities in the UK and has committed to delivering a long-term programme of major capital investment, with over £500m of future construction projects planned. Typical developments range from £50m+ ultra-high-specification healthcare facilities through to major extensions, specialist medical buildings and associated infrastructure.

Unlike traditional contracting environments, all projects are delivered within the wider group, creating a collaborative approach without the challenges often associated with competitive tendering, unrealistic programmes or low-margin contracting. This allows the team to focus on delivering exceptional projects with realistic timescales, quality and innovation at the forefront.

The first major project is a flagship £70m+ new build development in the Winchester area.

Planner – The Role

As Planner, you will play a key role from project inception through to completion, helping shape delivery strategies and programmes from the earliest design stages.

Working closely with the Project Directors, Design Team and Construction Teams, you will develop and manage programmes across multiple live and pre-construction projects, providing critical planning expertise to ensure successful delivery.

This is a highly visible position offering significant influence within a growing construction division that is expected to deliver major projects for many years to come.

Responsibilities include:

* Developing and maintaining detailed project programmes using ASTA Powerproject

* Producing design, procurement, construction and commissioning programmes

* Working with project teams during feasibility and pre-construction stages

* Developing master programmes for major projects and portfolio-wide planning

* Producing short, medium and long-term programmes

* Monitoring progress against programme and identifying risks and opportunities

* Carrying out programme updates and progress reporting

* Undertaking site visits to assess progress and programme performance

* Working closely with Project Managers to develop recovery plans where required

* Reviewing subcontractor and consultant programmes

* Providing programme analysis, sequencing advice and construction methodology input

* Supporting project teams with resource and logistics planning

* Producing reports and presentations for senior stakeholders

* Contributing to project strategy, phasing and delivery planning

Planner – The Person

* Previous experience as a Planner within a main contractor environment

* Strong ASTA Powerproject experience is ideal but other software experince would be transferrable

* Experience working on major new build construction projects

* Ability to manage programmes from design stage through to project completion

* Strong understanding of construction methodologies and sequencing

* Comfortable working closely with operational, commercial and design teams

* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

* Tier 1 or large regional contractor experience would be particularly advantageous

* Experience across healthcare, commercial, residential, education or similar major projects welcomed

Planner – The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a business at the beginning of an exciting long-term growth journey. With a secured pipeline of over £500m worth of future developments, you will become a key member of a specialist construction team delivering some of the highest quality healthcare projects in the UK.

For planners seeking a move away from traditional contracting pressures whilst still working on large, technically challenging projects, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare
