- Description
- Join a leading Scottish main contractor on an exciting, transformational housing and infrastructure project in the north of Edinburgh. This multi-phase development involves significant residential, commercial, and public realm elements, offering long-term career stability and exposure to high-profile, complex construction challenges.
We are seeking an experienced Project Planner with a strong background in construction and proven proficiency in Asta PowerProject, to support our pre-construction and delivery teams in ensuring programme certainty across all project phases.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and maintain detailed, integrated construction programmes from first principles for both tenders and live projects using Asta PowerProject.
- Collaborate closely with design, commercial, and site teams to drive effective sequencing, logistics, and buildability.
- Monitor project progress on-site, track actuals against the baseline, and provide regular, accurate updates and reports to stakeholders.
- Identify critical path activities, analyse potential risks and opportunities, and develop effective mitigation or recovery plans.
- Prepare and submit robust, contractually compliant programmes (e.g., NEC3/NEC4) and supporting documentation.
- Support the commercial team in assessing time and commercial impacts of changes or delays (compensation events).
- Promote planning best practices and contribute to a collaborative, forward-thinking team environment.
What We Are Looking For- Proven experience as a Planner within a main contracting, housing or civil engineering environment.
- Essential: Strong, hands-on proficiency in Asta PowerProject software (or similar high-level planning software, with a preference for Asta expertise).
- Solid understanding of multi-storey residential, mixed-use, or general infrastructure construction sequencing and logistics.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills, with the ability to manage senior stakeholder relationships effectively.
- A relevant qualification in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) is preferred.
What's On Offer- A long-term, career-defining role on one of Scotland's most significant regeneration projects.
- Exposure to complex, high-profile construction and public realm packages.
- Clear pathways for professional progression and development to managing a team within an award-winning contractor.
- A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
