Project Planner for a hydroelectric project in Scotland

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain detailed, construction-focused project schedules in Primavera P6 across the full project lifecycle - from early development through to delivery and operation.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, procurement, and site construction teams to build realistic, logic-driven programmes that reflect actual site conditions and sequencing.
  • Identify and analyse critical paths, delays, and risks, supporting the development of robust mitigation strategies to maintain schedule integrity.
  • Conduct delay analysis and evaluate the time impact of change events, contractor claims, and variations, ensuring full compliance with NEC3/NEC4 contractual requirements.
  • Provide clear, concise planning reports and insights to inform key decisions, track progress, and support performance management.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in project planning and scheduling for large-scale construction or infrastructure projects, ideally within the renewable energy, power, or civil engineering sectors.
  • A solid understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing, and site execution, gained through hands-on experience with multidisciplinary project delivery teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to use Primavera P6 to build and manage complex, logic-linked construction programmes.
  • Practical experience working under NEC3/NEC4 contracts, including assessing delay impacts, change events, and contractor claims.
  • A clear track record of specific projects you've supported, with defined roles, responsibilities, and client or contractor organisations that demonstrate your ability to deliver in a complex project environment.
