Planning Engineer

Description
At Careys, planning is about far more than producing programmes. It's about shaping how major civil engineering projects are delivered from day one.

We're looking for a Planning Engineer to join our growing Planning team, working alongside operational, commercial and pre-construction teams to develop construction programmes that help deliver some of the UK's most complex infrastructure projects.

This opportunity would suit an experienced Planning Engineer, but we're equally interested in speaking with Site Engineers, Section Engineers or Senior Engineers who understand construction from the ground up and are looking to broaden their career into planning. If you've ever found yourself thinking about sequencing, logistics and programme rather than just today's activities, this could be the ideal next step.
The Role
You'll support projects from tender stage through to completion, developing and maintaining programmes that help our teams deliver safely, efficiently and on time.

Your responsibilities will include:

Developing tender and contract programmes

Producing construction methodologies and sequencing plans

Monitoring progress and updating live programmes

Managing programme change and identifying risks

Producing look-ahead programmes and progress reports

Working with project teams, designers and commercial teams to optimise delivery

Supporting planning across both pre-construction and live projects

What we are looking for:

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, thinking ahead and collaborating with project teams.

You'll ideally have:

Experience delivering civil engineering or infrastructure projects

Experience as a Planning Engineer, or a background as a Site, Section or Senior Engineer looking to move into planning

A good understanding of NEC contracts and construction sequencing

Experience using Asta Powerproject or similar planning software (or the willingness to learn)

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

An organised and analytical approach with excellent attention to detail
Why Careys?

Planning plays a critical role in everything we deliver. You'll work alongside experienced planners and operational leaders on major infrastructure projects, with the opportunity to influence projects from bid stage through to completion.

In return, you'll join a business that invests in its people, values collaboration and provides genuine opportunities to develop your career.

Benefits

Exposure to a diverse portfolio of complex construction projects

Support from experienced leaders to aid your development

Opportunities to broaden your experience across pre-construction and delivery

A collaborative working environment that encourages learning and progression

A culture built on care, integrity, and continuous improvement

Excellent salary and benefits

Company Pension, Private Health, 26 days holiday

Gym Membership, Cycle to Work Scheme, Health Cash Plan
