Planner
Are you a Site Engineer starting to question the long-term reality of staying on site?
If you’ve got a few years under your belt and enjoy construction, but not the long hours, constant site pressure, or limited flexibility, this is a genuine opportunity to pivot your career without losing the value of your experience to date.
We’re working with a growing civil engineering, infrastructure and energy business at the forefront of Scotland’s energy transition, offering a structured move into Project Planning—one of the most in-demand and future-proof disciplines in construction.
You’ll be trained and mentored by senior planners who have made the exact same move themselves, transitioning from site-based roles into planning. They understand the learning curve and will support you every step of the way.
Why consider this move?
- Move away from full-time site-based work into a hybrid or remote role
- Keep close to live projects without the day-to-day site pressures
- Build a long-term career in planning, project controls, and programme management
- Work on major infrastructure and energy projects shaping the future of Scotland
- Join a business with strong backing and significant growth plans

- Background in civil engineering, infrastructure, or construction
- 3–5 years’ experience in a site-based role (Site Engineer or similar)
