Senior / Principal Planner - Design Planning Specialist Does an opportunity to elevate design planning capability, drive alignment across functions, and gain exposure to senior leadership appeal to you? Location: Sale or Dartford (national travel as required - flexible base) Reporting to: Technical Director (operational) and Planning Leader (functional) We are looking for a Senior or Principal Planner with the confidence, curiosity, and collaborative mindset to help shape how design planning is delivered across Laing O'Rourke. 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. It offers the chance to develop a genuine specialism in design planning or to broaden your capability before returning to mainstream planning roles. 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. Peer review tender, PCSA, contract and project programmes to Builds (PtBs) to ensure full integration of design consultant and supply chain inputs. Act as the interface between Technical/Design Management and Planning to ensure design and assurance requirements are accurately reflected in the programme. Design Information Management & Tracking Support the creation of Master Information Delivery Plans (MIDPs) and Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDPs). Communicate and track design release timelines to align with project needs. Support integration of programme data into the Design Performance Measurement System. Standards & Continuous Improvement Develop and refine design planning guidance, processes and training materials. 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. Project Support & Change Management Assist with programme impact assessments, mitigation strategies, and delay analysis for design related change. 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. You'll shape the way design planning is done across the business and directly influence outcomes on our most complex projects. Join us and help set a new benchmark for design excellence. About Us Laing O'Rourke are an international engineering and construction company delivering state of the art infrastructure and buildings projects for clients in the UK, Middle East and Australia.

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.

Communicate and track design release timelines to align with project needs. Support integration of programme data into the Design Performance Measurement System. Standards & Continuous Improvement Develop and refine design planning guidance, processes and training materials.

Project Support & Change Management Assist with programme impact assessments, mitigation strategies, and delay analysis for design related change. Review consultant and supplier design programmes for scope accuracy and contractual compliance. Support identification of design resource needs and track performance against KPIs.

They currently complete packages ranging in value from £5m up to £30m each on a mixture of residential and commercial projects throughout London and the surrounding areas. This business prides itself on its positive brand across the whole industry. They are profitable, secure, and have an excellent client base. Their in-house capability to take complex projects from design through to completion has always made them stand out as one of the best.

You will support the PM in briefings to proactively focus design (temporary and permanent), procurement, labour, plant and staff in order to secure programmed dates and milestones. Numerate and articulate. To fulfil this role, we would ideally hope for the candidate to have spent a proportion of his / her career on building sites as an engineer, project manager or similar, in the specialist field of reinforced concrete frame construction and groundworks, but this is not essential if strong planning experience can be shown in this field. About the Rewards / Benefits : If successful, you will receive a strong basic salary estimated at £70,000 to £90,000 per annum (based on level of experience) with a package to match. This is negotiable and is available on a self-employed or PAYE basis. About Me, Your Consultant: My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition. So, what does that mean for you? It means you won t be trusting your career to a rookie. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I ve maintained a positive reputation because I tell people the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then to let you decide what feels right for you. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss these opportunities with you over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you). And I know this is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR laws, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to discuss options.
