Planner

Planner - Water Infrastructure Contract Location: Bristol Working Pattern: 5 days per week office/site based Rate: Competitive, dependent on experience Are you a construction-focused Planner who understands how projects are actually delivered on site? We're working with an established infrastructure contractor delivering water and wastewater projects across the Wessex Water region as part of AMP8. With a strong pipeline of capital delivery work, they're looking for an experienced Planner who can take ownership of construction programmes, work closely with site teams and ensure projects are planned realistically from the outset. This isn't a role purely focused on updating programmes and producing reports. They need someone who understands construction sequencing, buildability and the practical challenges of delivering civil engineering works. The Opportunity You'll be joining an established delivery team, working closely with Project Managers, Site Managers and Engineers to develop and manage construction programmes across water infrastructure projects. You'll have the opportunity to influence how works are planned and delivered, identifying potential programme risks early, challenging unrealistic sequencing and supporting teams in keeping projects on track. Your responsibilities will include: Developing and maintaining detailed construction programmes using Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project. Building realistic, logic-linked programmes that reflect construction methodologies, resources and site constraints. Working directly with site teams to monitor progress and identify potential delays. Producing look-ahead programmes, critical path analysis and recovery plans. Managing NEC programme requirements, including programme updates and change impacts. Supporting construction teams with planning workshops, progress reviews and programme reporting. Identifying opportunities to improve sequencing and programme efficiency. What We're Looking
