Senior Planner
We're looking for a Senior Planner for a public sector organisation, based in Reading on an initial 18-month contract, paying up to £68 per hour (Inside IR35, Umbrella).
This is a full-time onsite role in the Reading area, with the possibility of condensing hours into a four-day week.
About the Role
The successful Senior Planner will own the planning capability across the projects they support, maintaining the Integrated Master Schedule and keeping it accurate and reliable.

You'll also champion planning best practice and help improve the end-to-end processes, tools and templates.
