Laing O'Rourke's project portfolio spans 10 major infrastructure projects - including enabling works for overhead lines, tower foundations, and new substations. These projects will connect renewable energy from offshore wind farms to solar power, strengthening energy security and supporting the UK's journey to net zero.

The Great Grid Upgrade Laing O'Rourke appointed as construction partner The Role We're looking for experienced Senior or Principal Planners to join our Power Sector team, supporting the 10-year Great Grid Upgrade framework. For the next 1-2 years, you'll be based at our Birmingham project hub, joining an established planning team supporting projects through ECI and PCSA pre-construction stages. We're flexible on where you live - but you'll need to travel to Birmingham around 3-4 days per week. As projects move into delivery (from 2027 onwards), you'll transition to a site-based role with hybrid working options. Initial delivery projects include schemes from Grimsby to Spalding (East Coast) and Chesterfield to Willington (East Midlands). What You'll Do Lead and coordinate planning and programme management from tender through delivery. Develop and maintain robust, logic-linked construction programmes. Provide expert input on construction sequencing, methodology, and resourcing. Ensure compliance with contractual and project requirements. Implement and maintain Project Controls with accurate forecasting and reporting. Mentor and develop planning team members and drive process improvement. Foster collaboration across design, engineering, and delivery teams to achieve milestones. What We're Looking For Proven planning experience on major infrastructure projects (£300m+) - ideally in the power or energy sector. Proficiency in Primavera P6 (ASTA and 4D modelling advantageous). A strong understanding of NEC contracts and commercial awareness. A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline. Chartered status (CIOB, ICE) or working towards it. Experience across the full project lifecycle - from pre-construction to delivery. The ability to lead, mentor, and influence across multidisciplinary teams. Why Laing O'Rourke?

Joining us means being part of a team that is driving the UK's transition to a low-carbon energy future.

Contribute to enhancement of the Preconstruction Template and share updates across planning and design functions. Collect benchmarking data and support audits to drive consistency and compliance.

Review consultant and supplier design programmes for scope accuracy and contractual compliance. Support identification of design resource needs and track performance against KPIs. Team & Capability Development Deliver training, workshops, and guidance for planners, design managers, technical leaders and consultants. Support resource development, mentoring and retention across the planning community. Essential Skills & Experience Strong proficiency in P6 and/or ASTA (both build and infrastructure experience valued). Experience with pre contract planning, design programme development, and maintaining construction programmes. Excellent communication and facilitation skills across multidisciplinary teams. Experience implementing strategic planning / programme management systems. Ability to engage both senior leadership and end users, tailoring communication appropriately. Desired Skills & Experience Experience leading a planning and on a project. Experience driving process improvements or business advancements. Familiarity with design stages and relevant assurance frameworks (RIBA 2020, BSIRA, or similar). Awareness of discipline interdependencies (Architectural/Structural/Civils/MEP). Familiarity with Network Rail PACE stages (formerly GRIP). Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related discipline, and CIOB membership (or working toward it). If you're ready to take ownership of a specialism that's becoming critical to project success, this role offers the chance to lead from the front.
