Are you a detail-oriented Planner with a passion for infrastructure and large-scale capital projects? I'm currently working with a well-established organisation in the South West that is looking for an experienced Planner to support their dynamic project team on a fixed-term basis.

• Develop, maintain, and monitor detailed project schedules across a portfolio of infrastructure projects.

• Collaborate with project managers, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure timelines and deliverables are realistic and achievable.

• Analyse project data, report on progress, and identify any variances or risks to delivery.

• Use planning tools (such as Primavera P6 or MS Project) to provide accurate and timely programme information.

• Support the programme controls function, contributing to cost and resource forecasting.

• Proven experience in a planning or project controls role, ideally within infrastructure, construction, or aviation environments.

• Strong working knowledge of planning software such as Primavera P6 and/or MS Project.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to communicate complex information clearly.

• Experience working in a highly regulated sector is desirable.

• Available to commit to a 13-month fixed-term contract.

• Competitive day rate/salary depending on experience.

• Hybrid working opportunities (on-site presence required several days a week).

• A chance to contribute to meaningful projects with a tangible impact on the region.

• Professional development in a dynamic and supportive team environment.
