We are a specialist design, refurb and new build contractor delivering a portfolio of modular education new-build and refurbishment schemes across London. With a strong pipeline of projects mobilising over the next six months, we are looking for an experienced freelance Senior Planner to join us immediately.
The opportunity
This is a twelve-month engagement across multiple live schemes, ranging from £500k to £25m+ modular new-build. You'll have continuity of work, a clear reporting line into the PM, and the opportunity to shape the planning function in a growing SME.
The role
You'll spend the first two weeks establishing the existing programme in your preferred format before settling into a rhythm of one to one and a half days per week across the portfolio. As further projects mobilise, your involvement will scale accordingly.
What you'll be doing
- Establishing and maintaining robust programmes to the required level of detail across live projects and bid submissions
- Managing progress against baseline and producing clear, accurate reporting
- Managing client and subcontractor change, extensions of time and delay mitigation
- Working closely with internal PM and QS teams on a day-to-day basis, while engaging with Subcontractors as appropriate
- Advising senior leadership on programme status, risks and opportunities
- Reviewing existing programmes, producing new programmes where required, identifying risks to completion, monitoring progress on site and supporting project teams with programme recovery strategies.
- Assist with Extension of Time submissions, delay analysis and demonstrating the impact of variations, design changes and client-driven delays.
