This unique role sits at the intersection of Planning, Technical, and Design Management - focusing on delivering better project outcomes through consistent standards, integrated design programmes, and early stage assurance. This is a rare opportunity to focus on a critical part of the project lifecycle - one that often receives too little attention.

About the Role You will play a key role in defining, implementing, and continuously improving our approach to design planning across the pre construction and construction phases. Beginning in PCSA and progressing into live works, you will ensure the planning and design elements of our projects are fully aligned with Laing O'Rourke's standards, guidance, and technical governance. Working with project teams, planners, technical leaders, design consultants, subcontractors, and approving bodies, you will help produce integrated and assured design programmes that reduce inefficiencies and improve "right first time" outcomes. You'll also be a core part of our geographically distributed planning community - supporting consistent delivery across all projects and sectors while enabling client specific flexibility. A key aspect of this role involves guiding teams through change and championing the value of enhanced design planning practices. Key Responsibilities Design Planning Deployment & Assurance Implement and adapt the Laing O'Rourke Preconstruction Programme Template across bids, PCSAs and projects.

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.
