As a result of sustained growth and an expanding project portfolio, we're looking to appoint an experienced Planner to support the delivery of major civil engineering and highways schemes across Kent and East Sussex.
You'll be joining a well-established contractor with a strong reputation for delivering complex infrastructure projects that keep communities moving. With decades of engineering expertise behind them, the business continues to secure long-term frameworks and high-profile projects, investing heavily in both its people and the latest planning and project delivery technologies.
This is an opportunity to become part of a collaborative team where your expertise will directly influence the successful delivery of essential infrastructure.
The Role
Our Planners all come from a site background, using their practical construction experience to provide planning support to project teams, identify engineering solutions and ensure project programmes remain accurate, current and contractually compliant.
Working closely with site management and regional leadership, you'll prepare, maintain and communicate project programmes while managing change in accordance with NEC contract requirements.
Key Responsibilities
* Carry out detailed monthly forensic reviews of project programmes, ensuring changes are accurately identified and recorded.
* Maintain programmes to reflect contractual requirements, project progress and as-built information.
* Review and challenge two-week look-ahead programmes.
* Monitor site records, contractual notices and communications relating to programme matters.
* Ensure programme submissions and acceptances remain contractually compliant.
* Review project change registers alongside works delivered and contractual obligations.
* Monitor project risk and opportunity registers.
* Identify programme entitlement that may not have been captured by site teams.
* Support project teams in protecting programme entitlement and preparing Extension of Time (EOT) claims.
* Work collaboratively with Contracts Managers to achieve successful project delivery.
About You
We're looking for an experienced Planner with a solid understanding of highways construction and NEC contracts.
You'll bring:
* Proven planning experience within highways or civil engineering projects.
* A good understanding of NEC contracts and programme management.
* Experience with Asta Powerproject (desirable).
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
This is a site and regional office-based position covering projects throughout Kent and East Sussex, so travel across the South East will be required.
What's on Offer
Alongside the opportunity to work on significant infrastructure projects with a business that genuinely invests in its people, you'll benefit from:
* Company car or car allowance
* Life Assurance (4x annual salary)
* Company pension with employer contributions matched up to 8%
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional leave
* Extensive training and career development programmes
