This is a rare opportunity for someone early in their planning career to work on complex, high-value projects while receiving hands-on training and mentorship from experienced planners.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond basic programme updates and develop a real understanding of how projects are built, sequenced, and delivered on site.

• Supporting the development and maintenance of construction programmes
• Assisting in aligning programme logic with site activities and installation sequencing
• Working closely with project managers, engineers, and site teams
• Helping track progress, update programmes, and produce reports
• Supporting the identification of programme risks, delays, and coordination issues
• Gaining exposure to BIM models and 4D planning tools

The Successful Junior Construction Planner Will Have:

• Basic understanding of construction sequencing and project delivery
• Exposure to planning software such as Primavera P6 or Asta Powerproject
• Strong willingness to learn and develop within a fast-paced environment
• Good communication skills and a proactive mindset
