About the role

As a Construction Planner, you will play a key role in ensuring project success, partnering closely with Operations Directors to develop and manage critical project programmes. You will be responsible for producing and maintaining detailed, logic-linked critical path programmes, alongside method statements and logistics plans, from tender stage through to project completion. Working collaboratively with site teams, project managers, engineers, and architects, you will ensure projects remain aligned with key objectives and run efficiently. Your ability to generate clear progress reports, forecasts, and mitigation strategies will provide valuable insight and help keep projects on track. With a proactive approach to risk management, you will identify potential issues early and implement practical solutions to protect both timelines and budgets. You will also work closely with the Costing team to ensure effective resource allocation, maximising both time and cost efficiency. Depending on your location, this role can be office-based in Chester or home-based, with travel to sites nationwide as required.
