Job Description:
Your new company: New opportunity for a Planner to be based in a Belfast office. A Planner is required by a Belfast-based specialist construction contractor. Working across multiple projects, your new company specialises in the Facades sector and requires a full-time permanent Planner. With a considerable head count across multiple countries, this employer is one of the leading UK-based designers, manufacturers, and installers of architectural glazing systems. Providing various external facade services to many of the market-leading European and UK-based contractors working in the construction sector, this contractor has a team of designers, surveyors, project managers & fitters with extensive construction experience.
Your new role: This is a newly created position within the business and will bring the planning function in-house, where you will report directly to the Technical Director and play an integral role in the success of each project and the business. The company can be quite accommodating to a variety of software from MS Project, Asta Powerproject, or even P6 Primavera (currently using MS Project). This role will see you based solely in the Belfast office with rare on-site visits to UK projects and take control of all programming across 7-8 live projects ranging in value from £500k to £4 million. Tender programmes will be limited due to many repeat clients, and you will work closely with site, design, and procurement teams across the business.
Responsibilities:
1. Report on the master's programme to site teams and senior management.
2. Modify programmes to mitigate against delays and carry out forecasts.
3. Assist in the preparation of project logistics and method statements, improving timelines.
4. Review key projects to ensure programme compliance and methodologies.
What you'll need to succeed: Experience in Construction Planning is required, and you must be able to demonstrate the capabilities of creating and maintaining accurate programmes using either MS Project, Asta, or Primavera. You will have some experience in Facades or Specialist trades; however, those coming from a main contracting background will also be ideal. This role is open to all types of backgrounds, such as degree-qualified or tradespeople who have planning experience. This role is based in their Belfast office, so you must be commutable to their location and won't require travel thereafter.
What you'll get in return: Offering a competitive package, you will have the chance to work for a specialist contractor who has a consistent track record of delivering high-quality and bespoke projects to their client base. With a growing team and a welcoming atmosphere, you will benefit from continued training and development as well as playing a key role within the business. With extremely limited travel required, you will be financially rewarded with a competitive salary based on your experience that could go as high as £55,000 + standard benefits including holidays and pension.
