Job Description

Are you an experienced Project Planner with a background in renewable energy or construction, looking to play a key role in delivering renewable energy projects?

We're looking for a Project Planner to join Elgin and support the planning, coordination and tracking of project schedules across our growing international renewable energy portfolio, from development through to construction.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and tracking master project schedules across Elgin's renewable energy project portfolio. You will support Project Managers across the development and construction phases by creating portfolio-level and project-level schedules, reviewing contractor programmes, monitoring progress against key milestones, identifying schedule risks and delays, and preparing clear management reporting to support effective decision-making.

The role sits within Elgin's PMO, which supports consistent project delivery across the company's international renewable energy pipeline by providing project governance, planning discipline, portfolio reporting, and practical support to project teams.

This is a hands-on scheduling role with strong visibility across development, construction and portfolio management. The successful candidate will help improve schedule quality, strengthen milestone discipline, and give project teams and senior stakeholders a clearer view of delivery risks across the pipeline.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain baseline project schedules for development-phase projects, ensuring key milestones, dependencies and assumptions are clearly captured at both project and portfolio level.
• During the project phase, use contractor-provided programmes and progress updates to maintain Elgin's internal project schedule, assess changes against the project baseline, and identify the overall impact on critical milestones, interfaces and forecast delivery dates.
• Work closely with project management teams to develop, maintain, track and report on project schedules, ensuring updates are accurate, timely and aligned with agreed reporting requirements.
• Support project teams in identifying critical path activities, understanding schedule dependencies, and reporting where delays could affect project delivery or key decision points.
• Coordinate schedule management for several construction projects in parallel, adapting the level of support provided based on each project's scale, complexity and delivery stage.
• Proactively identify schedule risks and emerging issues, recommend mitigation actions, and report clearly on deviations from agreed project schedules, including potential impacts on budget, milestones and delivery dates.

Your profile

What you will need

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or Energy Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrable experience working in renewable energy or a related construction industry.
• Expert knowledge of MS Project and MS Planner.
• Evidence of successfully working within a team structure.
• Strong knowledge of construction project management processes and PMO processes.
• Strong ability to work on your own initiative and bring new ideas forward.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with multiple workstreams running in parallel.
• Proficiency in communication, resource management and the use of software, particularly the Microsoft Office suite.
