I’m recruiting for a major site-based programme in South Wales and need proper project controls and planning people. This role is not reporting-only, not dashboard theatre, and not F9 operators. It is for people who understand that planning and controls protect delivery, cost visibility, programme integrity and commercial position.
Roles Available
- Project Controls Manager – Cost & Commercial bias – Circa £70,000–£80,000 p/a (Day rate considered around £600/day maybe £700)
- 4 × Project Planners – £400–£500/day
- 1 × Lead Planner – £550–£650/day; potential stretch towards £700/day for the right person.
Contract Details
- Duration: 3‑year contract, inside IR35, South Wales, site-based initially with some hybrid possible once embedded into the project.
The Right People Will Be Able To Evidence
- Live site planning or project controls experience
- P6 capability beyond basic updates
- Progress validation against actual site activity
- Sequencing logic and critical path ownership
- Cost, commercial, change or NEC awareness
- Confidence working with delivery, engineering, commercial and senior stakeholders
- Ability to challenge weak logic, poor progress data and unrealistic durations
This is not a role for someone who only reports what has already gone wrong. It is for people who can help control the work before it drifts. If you are based in South Wales, open to South Wales, or can commit to a site‑led major programme for the right long‑term contract, please message me with the following:
