Are you a Group Project Planner, from a Heavy Civils background, looking to work on specialist NEC4 programmes with real autonomy, while developing your technical capability through professional development?

On offer is a secure, permanent position within a growing group where you'll be trusted to take ownership of planning across several concurrent projects, all within a role designed to support long-term development and progression opportunities.

You will be joining a well-established specialist engineering and infrastructure group investing in a more mature, professional planning structure-giving you senior visibility and the chance to shape how programmes, resources and risk are controlled across the wider business.

This role suits a technically driven planner who wants long‑term development and recognition, with the chance to deepen NEC4 planning expertise and broaden exposure across complex projects.

The Role:

• Oversee multiple live and tender-stage projects, developing and maintaining NEC4 programmes
• Manage resources, critical paths, programme risks, tender and recovery planning
• Hybrid working with autonomy over your diary and site travel

The Person:

• Strong project planning experience within the Heavy Civils industry (i.e. Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Rail, Dams, Reservoirs, Water Treatment, Utilities)
• NEC4 knowledge with experience managing multiple programmes
• Wanting autonomy over technically challenging projects
