- Produce weekly and monthly programme updates, look-ahead schedules and progress reports for project teams and clients.
- Support operational teams throughout the full project lifecycle, providing planning expertise and programme advice.
- Prepare tender programmes, construction methodologies and sequencing plans for new project opportunities.
- Undertake programme "what-if" analysis to assess the impact of changes, procurement delays and site constraints.

- Coordinate with Project Managers, commercial teams, subcontractors and clients to ensure programmes remain accurate and aligned with project objectives.
- Attend project planning meetings and provide programme updates to senior stakeholders.
