Collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, and site construction teams to build realistic, logic-driven programmes that reflect actual site conditions and sequencing.
Identify and analyse critical paths, delays, and risks, supporting the development of robust mitigation strategies to maintain schedule integrity.
Conduct delay analysis and evaluate the time impact of change events, contractor claims, and variations, ensuring full compliance with NEC3/NEC4 contractual requirements.
Provide clear, concise planning reports and insights to inform key decisions, track progress, and support performance management.

You have

Proven experience in project planning and scheduling for large-scale construction or infrastructure projects, ideally within the renewable energy, power, or civil engineering sectors.
A solid understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing, and site execution, gained through hands-on experience with multidisciplinary project delivery teams.
Demonstrated ability to use Primavera P6 to build and manage complex, logic-linked construction programmes.
Practical experience working under NEC3/NEC4 contracts, including assessing delay impacts, change events, and contractor claims.
A clear track record of specific projects you've supported, with defined roles, responsibilities, and client or contractor organisations that demonstrate your ability to deliver in a complex project environment.

Flexible benefits to fit your life
