Senior Planner
We are currently looking to recruit a Senior Planner to support our team and projects.
As a Senior Planner, you will be providing robust planning support at pre-construction stages, developing tender programmes for submission documents and possibly supporting (advisory) our site operations teams as needed too. You will be collaborating closely with our supply chain partners, developing good quality logical programmes and associated work for projects on site.
You will be instrumental in planning resources for our projects (which can be in live environments) in collaboration with the other members of the project and supply chain, as well as project resource requirements for future workloads.
You will have experience of identifying complex project issues early to reduce the impact on working programmes.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the preconstruction planning process, including project scheduling, resource planning, and identifying critical milestones.
* Develop detailed project programmes and schedules using industry-leading planning software.
* Identify and mitigate project risks, recommending contingency plans as needed.
* Collaborate with the design and estimating teams to ensure buildability and optimized construction sequences.
Experience in the refurbishment and fit-out sectors would be ideal and across a wide range of project values.
We generally use Asta Powerproject as our planning software (with some Primevera when requested by our customers).
As the specialist interiors arm of the Willmott Dixon Group, we are currently involved in some major projects with individual values to circa £40m+. These include some major refurbishments to listed and landmark buildings, hospitals, universities, defence/blue-light estates, flagship stores, and offices. We have a very strong pipeline of interesting and diverse work.
