  • Undertake delay analysis, EOT assessments and support claims
  • Validate construction progress, productivity and delivery forecasts
  • Mentor engineers and planners, building capability across the project team
  • Drive planning best practice and continuous improvement

You will ideally have:

  • Proven experience as a Senior Planner on major infrastructure projects
  • Civil Engineering degree (highly regarded)
  • Strong background in road, motorway or large-scale civil construction
  • Advanced knowledge of programming, delay analysis and contracts
