Managing NEC programme requirements, including programme updates and change impacts. Supporting construction teams with planning workshops, progress reviews and programme reporting. Identifying opportunities to improve sequencing and programme efficiency. What We're Looking For We're particularly interested in speaking with Planners who have genuine construction delivery knowledge, rather than solely a project controls or reporting background.

Experience producing construction programmes from scratch. Competency using Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project. Understanding of NEC contracts and programme requirements. Confidence working directly with construction teams and challenging programme assumptions. Water or wastewater project experience would be advantageous. Why Consider This Opportunity?

Hands-on delivery: Work directly with construction teams rather than being removed from site activities. Programme ownership: Play a key role in developing achievable programmes and supporting successful project delivery.
