Overview
Shape the programme strategy for major civils projects across the UK & Ireland.
About the Company
You'll be joining a fast-growing civil engineering contractor delivering complex infrastructure projects with pace, precision, and a strong reputation for quality. With a team of 150+ and expanding, the business is scaling quickly across multiple regions, opening up real opportunities for progression. It's a culture built on support, ambition, and giving people the tools to grow the kind of place where planners move up fast and get exposure to serious project work.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll take the lead on programme planning for high-value civils projects, ensuring delivery teams have clear, accurate, and achievable schedules. This role is central to project success—you'll be the person who keeps everything aligned, coordinated, and moving.
Your responsibilities include:
- Developing and maintaining detailed project programmes using P6
- Working across earthworks, deep digs, roads & highways
- Collaborating with engineers, QS teams, estimators, and site managers
- Identifying risks, delays, and opportunities within the programme
- Supporting tender programmes and pre-construction planning
- Providing regular progress updates and reporting to senior leadership
- Travelling 2 days per fortnight, with hybrid flexibility built in
- Ensuring programme logic, sequencing, and critical paths are accurate and robust
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a strategic role with real influence. You'll be shaping how major civils projects are delivered - and you'll have the backing of a company that's growing fast and investing heavily in its planning function.
What makes it a standout opportunity
- Exposure to complex, multi-discipline infrastructure projects
- A supportive environment that values strong programme control
- Long-term stability with a growing project pipeline
- Hybrid flexibility and a modern approach to work-life balance
- Life insurance
- Hybrid working options
- Paid travel & accommodation
- Strong internal progression
- A collaborative, growing planning team
Who You Are
You're a detail-driven planner with strong civils experience - or a civil engineer ready to step into planning with the right support. You understand sequencing, logic, and programme risk, and you're confident using P6 to bring clarity to complex projects.
Requirements
You'll thrive if you have:
- Experience in civils planning or engineering; strong P6 skills (essential)
- Ability to manage programme risk and communicate clearly
- Willingness to travel across the UK & Ireland
