Planning Engineer - #2144620

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.

What you will be doing:

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 you will bring:


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 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
