An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Planner to join a leading Tier 1 main contractor delivering a diverse portfolio of major construction projects across the Central Belt of Scotland. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the planning and successful delivery of predominantly education-sector developments, working closely with project teams from pre-construction through to completion to ensure programmes are developed, managed and delivered effectively.
Key responsibilities will include leading the development and management of detailed project programmes, providing strategic planning support throughout the project lifecycle, identifying and mitigating programme risks, producing progress reports and programme updates for senior stakeholders and supporting operational teams with recovery planning where required. You will also work closely with pre-construction, commercial and site teams to ensure realistic and achievable programme objectives are established and maintained.
The ideal candidate will have significant planning experience within the building construction sector and a proven track record of working on large-scale projects for main contractors. Previous Tier 1 contractor experience is highly desirable, along with strong knowledge of planning software such as Primavera P6 or Asta Powerproject.

As a reward, you will join a market-leading contractor with a strong pipeline of secured work across Scotland and excellent long-term career prospects. In return, you will receive a competitive salary of circa £65,000 - £75,000, alongside a car allowance and comprehensive benefits package, with opportunities to further progress within a highly regarded construction business.
