Designer Group wants a Project Planner in Cardiff, with experience drawn from construction or M&E contracting. The advert stresses that this is a planner who works with the site, not one who only reports from a distance. The planner takes the programme from its early development through to delivery and works directly with project managers, the commercial team and site leadership.
Programmes are detailed and resource loaded, built in Primavera or Microsoft Project, and must follow the order in which the work will actually be built. Risks, delays and pressure points are to be identified early, and what-if runs test the effect of a change of method or sequence.
Progress, milestones and the critical path are reported clearly, and the planner supports the project teams with short-term and look-ahead programmes, checking progress on site against the programme and keeping the two aligned. Of direct interest to claims practitioners, the role gives planning input to the commercial and project teams on variations and claims.
Designer Group asks for experience as a planner or scheduler with a construction or M&E contractor and a practical grasp of how jobs are delivered on site. Candidates should be proficient in Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or both, able to read drawings and construction methodology, and confident dealing with site teams, project managers and senior leadership. No salary or closing date is published.
