Job Description
Sector: Life Sciences Construction
Location: Oxford, UK
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary - Up to 70,000 plus package / bonus
About the Opportunity
Our client is delivering a flagship 200m life sciences development in Oxford - a cutting-edge project covering the full construction lifecycle, from civils and groundworks to new build and high-spec fit-out.
This is a rare opportunity to gain true end-to-end project planning exposure. You'll play a key role from early-stage programme development through to final commissioning and handover, sharpening your technical and strategic capabilities across every phase of construction.
Why This Role Stands Out
Structured Mentorship:
You'll work directly alongside two of the UK's most respected senior planners who are both known for their technical excellence and commitment to mentoring. Under their guidance, you'll receive hands-on support to develop both your planning expertise and your long-term career trajectory.
Supportive Leadership:
The hiring manager is actively involved and has a strong track record of developing rising talent. Expect clear direction, regular feedback, and the chance to build real project ownership from day one.
Long-Term Regional Pipeline:
With a secured, multi-year pipeline of projects in Oxford, our client offers more than just your next role - this is a long-term career opportunity with genuine advancement potential. You'll be part of a stable and forward-looking team, within one of the UK's most respected contractors.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, monitor, and update project programmes across all phases of delivery.
Contribute to pre-construction and delivery planning in collaboration with project and design teams.
Analyse progress, identify delays or risks, and propose mitigation strategies.
Produce phasing diagrams, logistics plans, and time slice visuals to support project delivery.
Maintain accurate as-built records and support client reporting requirements.
Use planning tools such as Asta Powerproject or Primavera P6 to manage project logic and critical path analysis.
What We're Looking For
Previous experience in construction planning, ideally on complex or high-spec projects.
Strong technical understanding of construction methodology and sequencing.
Proficiency with Asta Powerproject or Primavera P6.
Collaborative mindset with the ability to engage confidently across delivery teams.
Eagerness to learn, develop, and grow within a high-performance planning environment.
If you feel that this is the role for you, please apply now.
