Key Responsibilities
- Develop, manage, and maintain detailed integrated project programmes using Primavera P6.
- Analyse programme performance, critical path activities, progress trends, and project data to support informed decision-making.

- Challenge and influence Project Managers and site teams to ensure realistic, achievable, and robust project plans.
- Lead planning and project controls activities across multiple workstreams or complex projects.
- Produce accurate reporting, forecasting, progress analysis, and schedule recovery plans.
- Identify, integrate, and mitigate programme and delivery risks through proactive planning strategies.
- Ensure programme governance, controls, and reporting standards are maintained.
- Work collaboratively with operational, commercial, and engineering teams to drive project performance and delivery outcomes.
Ideal Profile
- Proven experience in a Senior Project Planner / Project Controls / Planning Controller role within construction or industrial project environments.

- Strong understanding of project controls, scheduling methodologies, critical path analysis, earned value, risk management, and programme reporting.
- Experience in utilities, industrial, manufacturing, storage, factory, or similar complex delivery sectors preferred.
- Highly organised, commercially aware, and delivery focused.
