P6 Planner - Defence
Scotland
£500 per day or £65-75,000
PACE Global is recruiting an experienced Primavera P6 Planner for a major defence programme in Scotland, working with a leading engineering consultancy on a secondment basis. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to genuinely own a programme rather than sit in a reporting-only seat. It is a highly governed environment, so accuracy, sound judgement and professional discretion matter throughout.
What you will be doing:
- Building, maintaining and updating integrated schedules in Primavera P6
- Assuring activity logic, dependencies, milestones, calendars and baselines
- Running regular progress cycles and maintaining proper data-date discipline
- Analysing critical path, float, variance, slippage and emerging schedule risk
- Working with project managers, engineers and commercial teams to gather and challenge updates
- Assessing the schedule impact of change and supporting recovery and reforecasting
- Producing clear look-aheads, schedule narratives and decision-ready reporting
- Supporting planning governance and schedule quality across the programme
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What I am looking for:
- Strong, recent hands-on experience with Primavera P6 on live projects
- A solid grounding in WBS, logic, critical path, float, baselines, progress and forecasting
- Genuine ownership of schedules, not reporting or administrative support alone
- The confidence to work with multidisciplinary stakeholders and challenge weak inputs
- A firm commitment to two days each week on site at Clyde
- Active SC clearance, or the ability to meet the client's formal security and vetting requirements
