Planner

Salary: £40,000 - £70,000 DOE

Location: Glasgow 

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Planner to join a growing construction team. Working across a diverse portfolio of healthcare, commercial, education, public sector, industrial and refurbishment projects, you will play a key role in programme planning, project coordination and supporting successful project delivery from pre-construction through to completion.

This role offers the opportunity to work on a varied range of projects while collaborating closely with project managers, commercial teams, site teams and clients. The position would suit an established Planner, but applications are also welcomed from experienced Contracts Managers who have a strong understanding of construction programmes and are looking to transition into a dedicated planning role.

• Develop, maintain and monitor detailed project programmes across multiple construction projects.
• Support tender planning and pre-construction activities.
• Produce short-term and long-term project schedules and reports.
• Identify programme risks, constraints and opportunities, proposing mitigation strategies where required.
• Work closely with project managers and site teams to track progress and ensure programme compliance.
• Monitor project performance against key milestones and contractual requirements.
• Attend project meetings and provide planning support to internal and external stakeholders.
• Prepare progress updates and programme reports for clients and senior management.
• Assist with delay analysis, programme recovery plans and change management where necessary.

• Previous experience in a Planner, Contracts Manager, Project Manager or similar construction management role.
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and project delivery processes.
• Experience using planning software such as Asta Powerproject, Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project is desirable, although training can be provided for the right candidate.
• Excellent organisational and analytical skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines effectively.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A proactive approach and strong attention to detail.

• Competitive salary of £40,000 - £70,000 depending on experience.
• Opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of healthcare, commercial, education and public-sector projects.
• Clear opportunities for career progression and professional development.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
