Would you describe yourself as a Planning Manager / Director that is able to see the bigger picture? Yes, you will be able to manage a team, present to clients, pull programs & tenders apart from first principles and clearly see through reported versus actual.

The program may say you are 68% of the way through the program but where are the costs and progress? You will be setting up a Earned Value Management system that is a tool to be set up and utilized by the senior management. You will see the risks and challenges before it is too late. This role is about being proactive opposed to reactive.

Our client wants a planner that’s done the hard yards on site in a site engineering capacity before heading into project planning and working their way up the ladder.

A small project could be £20 Million and a large would be £200 Million. You will have the drive and attitude to get into the detail; the added value in this role is about being hands-on. We want to be very open from the off as this client is fast-paced and expects a lot but rewards very well.

This is a business that is growing so there are some fantastic opportunities to be well rewarded and experience the industry across the world. In this role, you will impact actual change and you will certainly have a voice. You will NOT be a number lost within a PLC.
