Project Planner - AME in London

The Project Site Planner owns the development, control, and optimisation of project schedules from initiation through to delivery. The role drives alignment between planning, execution, and reporting across all workstreams, providing clear visibility on progress, risks, and priorities.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and control the integrated master schedule aligned with project scope, priorities, and standard WBS structures.
• Coordinate and consolidate inputs from internal teams and multiple contractors into a single, accurate and resource-aligned program.
• Review and challenge contractor planning deliverables (baseline schedules, program basis, manpower/equipment histograms, S-curves).
• Track daily and weekly site activities against plan, identifying deviations, risks, and constraints to delivery.
• Analyze variances between planned and actual progress; highlight critical issues and support development of recovery plans.
• Monitor schedule performance, including critical path, float, milestone adherence, and schedule risk.
• Prepare and maintain planning outputs including KPI dashboards, S-curves, lookahead schedules, and progress reports (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Provide clear, concise reporting to support internal updates and stakeholder communication.
• Facilitate short-term planning (weekly lookaheads) with site teams to ensure alignment on upcoming activities and priorities.
• Ensure alignment between schedule, sequencing, and resource allocation across all workstreams.
• Maintain awareness of contractual requirements, key milestones, and notification timelines.
• Support scenario planning and schedule optimization to inform project decisions.
• Identify and manage schedule-related risks and contribute to mitigation strategies.
• Drive consistency in planning standards, tools, and reporting across the project.
