Description

We’re working with one of the UK’s leading Tier 1 contractors to find an experienced Construction Planner to join their team in Durham. With a strong pipeline of major projects across infrastructure, civil engineering, and build sectors, this is a great opportunity to be part of a high-performing planning team delivering complex, high-value schemes.

 

The Role:
You’ll play a key role in the successful delivery of projects across the region — supporting tenders, building detailed programmes, and working closely with project teams on live sites. The ideal candidate will be confident producing and managing project plans from pre-construction through to completion, using industry-standard software such as Primavera P6 or Asta Powerproject.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain detailed construction programmes
  • Support pre-construction and tender teams with planning input
  • Work with site and commercial teams to monitor progress and mitigate delays
  • Carry out site visits to assess progress and update programmes
  • Provide regular reports and updates to project stakeholders

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in a planning role within a Tier 1 or large main contractor
  • Strong understanding of construction methods and sequencing
  • Proficiency in planning software (Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject or similar)
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to liaise with multiple stakeholders
  • Background in civil engineering or general construction projects

 

What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
  • Opportunity to work on some of the region’s flagship projects
  • Supportive team environment with long-term career development
  • Hybrid working options available

 

If you’re a planner who wants to be part of a forward-thinking company with real ambition and a solid order book, we’d love to hear from you.
